Dublin to Galway Luxury Private Chauffeur Guide Tour

Knowledgeable and engaging tour guide

We just completed a four-day tour of Galway and environs with Derek Spillane of Wild About Ireland Tours. We told him of our interests and Derek fashioned an itinerary that met our requests and then some. There the popular sites, like the Cliffs of Moher, but also lesser-visited places like Thoor Ballylee (Yeats’s summer home), hedge tombs in the Burren and the Michael Davitt Museum that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen but were just terrific. Derek is extremely knowledgeable. His passion and love for the area came through. Highly recommended.
