12 Best Ireland Tours

No matter how you like to travel, Ireland has you covered. Museums? Check. Historic sites? Check. Hikes? Check. Horseback riding? Check. Scenic drives? Check. Surfing? Check. (Yes, seriously.) It's hard knowing exactly where to begin, given you have centuries of history to review and a near endless list of must-see sights. That's why a multiday guided tour can be your best option for a first-time visit to Ireland . U.S. News consulted both traveler opinion and expert input to select some of the best multiday tours of Ireland. Whether you have a long weekend or two weeks to spend, there's an outing here for you.

Though it's all one island, Ireland is broken into two entities: the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. You'll need your passport to travel between the two. Plus, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland use two different currencies: the euro and pound sterling, respectively. The costs of these tours may vary based not only on what's included in the tour, but also on the number of people participating. In general, the fees listed below are per person when booking a room for double occupancy. Contact your chosen company for a more precise rate.

Short tours: 5 or fewer days

Medium tours: 6 to 9 days, long tours: 10 or more days.

Little Gem Tours – Ring of Kerry Private Tour

Price: Varies Duration: 3 days

As the name implies, this short and sweet tour explores the Ring of Kerry in Ireland. You'll see plenty of natural scenery, including Mount Brandon, the Skellig Islands, the Gap of Dunloe and Killarney National Park. There are also a few historic sites along the way like Ross Castle, Muckross House & Gardens and the Rock of Cashel. Driver/guides transport you to the sites in either a comfortable car (think: sedan or small SUV) or a luxury coach for large groups. Travelers say Little Gem lives up to its name thanks to competent tour guides and outstanding itineraries.

Because this is a private tour, the cost will vary depending on the number of people traveling and accommodation needs. Accommodation options range from bed-and-breakfasts to five-star hotels. Breakfast is included, but other meals and activity fees are not. What's more, you can customize the tour to your liking. Little Gem offers other tours of Ireland – both public and private – that last up to 15 days.

Included in the tour are accommodations, entry fees, all transportation, airport transfers and breakfasts. If you wish to tip your guide, $10 should be sufficient. Tour-takers say the trips are expertly planned, though few note some minor hiccups with transportation.

Hiking in Ireland: 7 most beautiful multi-day walking routes

Hiking in Ireland is becoming more and more popular. The untouched nature, sparsely populated islands, friendly people and fascinating historical monuments really do make it a hikers paradise. But what are the most beautiful multi-day walking routes in Ireland?

We’ve made this selection of the ultimate walking tours, from three-day routes to trails of many hundreds of kilometers. Are you planning to go hiking in Ireland? Be inspired by these versatile tours through Irish nature!

1. Sheep’s Head Way, Cork

93 kilometers (58 miles) The elongated Sheep’s Head peninsula is one of the best kept secrets on Ireland’s west coast. The mountain ridge that runs down the spine of the peninsula makes it perfect for hiking and getting 360 degree coastal views. Unspoiled nature and particularly phenomenal views of the nearby Beara Peninsula also help to make the Sheep’s Head Way  one of the ultimate hiking routes in Ireland.

Highlight:  The scenic surroundings of Bantry Bay – the start and end point of the circular walk – is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in Ireland.

2. Western Way, Connemara

100 kilometers (62 miles) The mountainous area around Connemara National Park is one of the ultimate hiking destinations in Ireland. Rugged mountains, valleys full of sheep and magical water features lie along the Western Way route through Connemara. Also cozy, typical Irish villages, such as Westport and Leenaun, make this one of the ultimate multi-day walking routes on the emerald island.

Highlight:  Killary, Ireland’s only fjord, is a must on the program. The glacial valley and unique mountain ranges make hikers feel like they are here in Norway!

3. Causeway Coast Way, Antrim

52 kilometers (32 miles) The Causeway Coast Way is a section of the ‘Ulster Way’ trail, which completes a 1,000km circuit of Northern Ireland. The Ulster Way is one of the longest routes in Europe but the Causeway Coast Way is a relatively short and easy hike from Ballycastle to Portstewart. However, there’s plenty of hiking highlights still to be found including a walk across the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge if you dare.

Highlight:  The Antrim coastline is truly breathtaking, especially the stretch along the iconic Giant’s Causeway.

4. Burren Way, Clare

98 kilometers (61 miles) If you are interested in geology and are not afraid of a little wind, this is the place to be. Discover unique natural phenomena, such as towering cliffs, mysterious caves and vast expanses of karst stone.  The Burren Way is probably the most educational walking tour in the country. Prehistoric megaliths, rare animal and plant species and beautiful walking trails make this one of our favorite routes for hiking in Ireland.

Highlight:  The Cliffs of Moher, home to the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the cliff walls and also home to countless seabirds, are arguably Ireland’s most famous natural area. Rightly so!

5. Kerry Way

214 kilometers (133 miles) The Ring of Kerry is a popular round trip that can be made by car. What many travelers do not know is that there is also a wonderfully beautiful walking route around the same area!  The Kerry Way is one of the longest multi-day walking routes in Ireland. Deserted beaches, cliffs, narrow valleys, relaxing lakes … Need we say more?

Highlight:  The Black Valley at Killarney National Park is a dramatic natural area with winding trails, idyllic bridges and mirrored lakes. There is hardly a better place to take a landscape photo!

6. Dingle Way, Kerry

179 kilometers (112 miles) The Dingle Peninsula is home to the most popular hiking trail in Ireland, the Dingle Way . This circular route starts and finishes in Tralee and passes many lovely seaside and fishing villages. Countryside paths, miles of sandy beaches, mountain valleys and passes all await you on this famous trail. You also have the opportunity to complete the Kerry Camino pilgrim route which follows the Dingle Way from Tralee to Dingle Town.

Highlight:  The walk around Slea Head with wonderful views of the Blasket Islands is unforgettable and enhanced further by the beautiful Dunquin Pier.

7. Beara Way, Cork

152 kilometers (94 miles) The mountainous Beara Peninsula probably has everything you could wish for when you go hiking in Ireland. Mountain lakes, peat bogs, rugged coastal areas, colorful villages and even stretches of forest trails! The islands of Bere Island and Dursey Island are also often added to the Beara Way route, which leads to an extremely versatile and varied hike!

Highlight:  The cable car to Dursey Island, a sparsely populated island off the tip of the Beara Peninsula, offers especially beautiful views. This is Ireland’s only cable car, so quite an experience!

Unit 3 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin

• Mary-Ann Bodo ★★★★★ a week ago Loved this tour! We did 2 tours out of Dublin with Wild Rover and were lucky enough to have Yvonne on both of them. We couldn’t ask for a better guide - we had Steve and Peter as our drivers and they were great, too. I highly recommend this company !!
• Allyson Mucha ★★★★★ 4 weeks ago Wild rover tours was amazing! I loved the black cab tour, I highly recommend it. The sights are all beautiful. Could have used another whole day in Galway. My guides each day Rory and Dave were truly exceptional. And I didn’t get bus sick so our drivers must have been amazing
• Ryan Mccarthy ★★★★★ a month ago This was such a great opportunity to see the Irish countryside and Northern Ireland after flying into Dublin! Our tour leads David and Brian were amazing and David’s narration throughout much of the ride was fantastic. He gave so much background and quality insights into history, the good and the not as good. He even sang Irish songs for us (and was pretty good!)! We loved the Titanic museum tour, … More lots of background and got to see how many people with my surname were on the ship (4 - 2 didn’t make it). The Giants Causeway hike was beautiful as well. It’s a lot of riding time on the bus but well worth it, at a good price! Highly recommend!
• Jehan ★★★★★ a month ago I did the Dublin to Belfast Tour with Dave as a tour guide and Sergio as our driver - they were fabulous. It was an excellent day of sights and great stories by Dave. When we got to Belfast we had the choice of the Titanic museum or a Black cab tour - I chose the black cab tour and if you are into history, it is well worth it. As a solo traveller (with not a lot of days in Ireland) it was a great way … More to meet new people and explore more of Ireland.
• Crystal Olson ★★★★★ a month ago I had a wonderful time on the Giant’s Causeway and Belfast tour offered by Wild Rover Tours. From start to finish, Brendan and Krishna provided excellent customer service. The tour started on time, we were seamlessly dropped off and picked up at every location without delay, and it was a smooth journey with humorous and informative commentary throughout. Brendan kept us well informed, so there was … More never a moment of confusion. At the end of the tour, he even provided tips and recommendations for the rest of our time in Dublin. While I mostly chose this tour for the Black Cab experience in Belfast, I thoroughly enjoyed every activity along the way: Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and even our pit stop at the grocery store before the Black Cab tour. An unexpected bonus: after the Black Cab tour, we had time to explore the ground floor of the Titanic museum. It was a long day but a very worthwhile experience, and I highly recommend this tour or any tour offered by Wild Rover Tours.
• Nihan Yılmaz ★★★★★ a week ago I joined tours to different parts of the country for three days, and each one was spectacular. But if I had to rank them, I loved Giants Causeway, Glendalough, and the Wicklow Mountains the most. Watching the Cliffs of Moher from the sea on a boat might be more enjoyable than from the top. Maybe an extra boat tour could be added to the itinerary; just a suggestion from me. Our guides, Sean and Ian, … More were excellent. Their cheerful storytelling and the valuable information they shared helped us get to know Irish culture closely and made our trip fantastic. Sean even sang a short but unforgettable song for us as we were returning from one of our tours. 😀 I’d like to thank them once again here. Thanks also to our drivers Sarah, Pete and Stipe, they did great job always transporting us safely. No need to look for other tours—Wildrover is the best!
• Jenna Doherty ★★★★★ 3 weeks ago My hotel recommended Wild Rover Tours and the company did not disappoint! 5 stars from start to finish. My tour visited the Cliffs of Moher, Ennis and Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. We had plenty of time to explore and learn about the history of each area, plus take all the photos we wanted. Tom (the guide) and Billy (the driver) were fantastic, and provided a great mix of stories, anecdotes and Irish … More music to listen to while enjoying the views of the countryside. I would definitely book Wild Rover Tours again.
• Jeannine Cammarata ★★★★★ 4 weeks ago Eyvonne was great and I appreciate Simon’s safe driving. This was a beautiful tour of the Cliffs and Galway. Perfect for people looking for a day trip from Dublin. Great narratives of what we were seeing and she was really a genuine and very funny person. Pleasure to spend the day with her leading. It’s a long day and lots of windy roads but worth it for the beautiful views
• Theresa Langston ★★★★★ 4 months ago Our tour to Northern Ireland and the Giant Cliffs were amazing! Our tour guides Krishna and Barbara were so informative and friendly people. Barbara gave us a lot of Irish history and folklore. The Titanic museum in Belfast was so well done and sad too. The Giant Cliffs are amazing! The views are so beautiful. The countryside throughout Ireland is so green. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting … More Ireland they were amazing tour guides. Thank you so much!

The Best Tour Companies in Ireland

Ireland . It’s a scenic country full of rolling green hills, photogenic cliffs, impressive castles, cozy Irish pub, friendly locals, and a lot of Irish charm.

I’ve loved every part of my experiences in Ireland .

My first trip was a quick 24-hour visit to Dublin , but, I loved it so much I’ve gone back about four times since. Ireland has a special magic to it that makes every visitor fall in love. (Ok, not everyone, but most people love it here!)

While the cities are incredible and have a lot to offer, Ireland is best seen by car so you can get off-road and visit the small little villages, castles, and parks that dot the country.

However, if you’re like me, and not a fan of driving (especially driving on the left!), the next best thing to driving or just city hopping on buses is going on a tour in Ireland. Given the country’s small size, you can see a lot of it in a little time and a tour can be a good way to pack it all in without the hassle of organizing all the details yourself.

There are lots of tour options here — from walking tours in Dublin to multi-day tours around all of Ireland. Here is a list of my favorite tour companies in Ireland, each of which have something unique to offer:

1. Historical Walking Tours of Dublin

The city of Dublin is such a fascinating place to explore, and it’s full of historical spots that you might just wander past if you’re not with a guide from Historical Walking Tours of Dublin . They’ve been operating tours since 1986 and one of the reasons they’re so good is their guides all have postgrad history qualifications – but also know how to lead a tour with a good Irish sense of humor.

Each walking tour is just over two hours long and they start from the front gate of Trinity College at 11am every day, with an extra tour at 3pm from May to September. They’ll take you to many of the highlights of Dublin like the House of Lords, Temple Bar, Christ Church Cathedral, and Dublin Castle and you’ll end up with a great overview of Irish history. Tickets are 14 EUR.

2. Paddywagon Tours

An Irish born-and-bred tour company that started in 1998, Paddywagon Tours offers both day tours for lots of popular tourist attractions in Ireland as well as multi-day tours ranging from two to nine days long, with accommodation choices ranging between B&Bs and hostels.

If you’re time-pressed and looking for some day trips from Dublin to quickly see a bit more of Ireland, Paddywagon has trips to places like the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and even up to the Giant’s Causeway and other highlights of Northern Ireland. Costs range from 45 EUR to 65 EUR for these trips. They also run day trips out of other centers like Belfast, Limerick, and Cork.

Paddywagon’s multi-day tours range from 149 EUR for a two-day trip up to 689 EUR for their All Ireland nine-day tour, with backpacker accommodation (or 999 EUR if you want B&B stays). Even though you could easily spend a month in Ireland, given its relatively small size you can actually get a lot out of nine days. If you’re a student they also run some student special trips at even lower costs so keep an eye out for them.

3. Shamrocker Adventures

Shamrocker is a great option for budget travelers looking for multi-day tours of Ireland. Their approach is to try and combine the best of independent travel and group trips. That means they give you choices like different levels of accommodation and you can self-cater when it comes to food. They also have great guides who are passionate Irish storytellers — even their bus drivers have a great sense of humor!

Tours range between three and seven days, with the shorter trips focusing on just one part of Ireland — the south or the west — and costing around 300 EUR per person. Shamrocker’s seven-day trip covers all the main sights like the Giant’s Causeway, Cliffs of Moher, Galway , and Blarney Castle and is 609 EUR for adults and 589 EUR for students.

4. Wolfhound Adventure Tours

Wolfhound Adventure Tours is a boutique tour company run by Trinity College history-graduate Dave O’Connor. Tour groups have a maximum of 12 travelers and tours include some biking and hiking, which are optional but definitely a big part of the fun.

Tours range between five and ten days — the shorter tours give you an option of going to the north to the Giant’s Causeway or heading west to see the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands, both of which are 985 EUR. Wolfhound trips can include kayaking, horseriding, whale watching, and even surfing lessons and are a great choice for anyone looking to get active!

5. Vagabond Tours

Vagabond Tours is an Irish company and offers two kinds of small group tours, Driftwood Tours if you want to take it easy, and Vagabond Tours which include activities like hiking, sea kayaking, and cycling.

Tours range in length from six to eleven days, and in price from 1,550 EUR to 2,900 EUR per person. They have some of the common itineraries such as a Northern Ireland tour taking in the Giant’s Causeway and Belfast and the Giant Irish tour which circumnavigates the country, but they also have a few specialty trips like a foodie tour, an adventure trip which includes a visit to the Skellig Islands, and a tour for history buffs focusing on castles and kingdoms.

Rob Rankin, co-founder of Vagabond Tours, is a huge advocate of responsible and sustainable tourism and the leader of Ecotourism Ireland, and Vagabond Tours has been eco-tourism gold-certified since 2017.

6. Extreme Ireland

Extreme Ireland offer adventure tours around Ireland, with several Wild Atlantic Way trips available, ranging from six to 12 days long. They take small groups (a maximum of 16 travelers) led by skilled guides who have all the skills necessary to help you have a safe and adventurous tour.

Their 12-day trip will take you all over Ireland — it doesn’t just show you the regular sightseeing highlights!. The tour also includes several bike rides, a stint of stand up paddleboarding, hikes along sea cliffs and wild coastlines, kayaking, and surfing. This one comes in at 2,200 EUR while their shorter tours start at 1,100 EUR.

7. Intrepid

An Intrepid trip is always a good option — they’re my go-to multi-day tour company no matter where in the world I’m heading. With small groups (a maximum of 12 travelers for Ireland), carefully-hired local guides, and a relaxed pace, Intrepid tours really can’t be beaten. They offer just one trip in Ireland but it covers all the major sights and attractions, an eight-day adventure that spans from Belfast in Northern Ireland to Killarney in the south-west.

Their Ireland tour will take you through Dublin and Galway and includes sightseeing hotspots like the Cliffs of Moher and the Giant’s Causeway, as well a chance to explore the Aran Islands. Accommodation is in a mix of hotels and hostels, with breakfast included. The tour costs 2,300 EUR per person.

From walking tours to help you understand the history and culture of the great city of Dublin to multi-day adventures circumnavigating the whole of the island, taking a tour in Ireland will make sure you get to know lots of interesting locals and learn more about what makes the Irish tick.

Whether it’s the crazy ritual of kissing the Blarney Stone, exploring the incredible landscapes in Northern Ireland Game of Thrones was filmed, or simply knowing which pub in Galway is the best spot for a Guinness, these Ireland tour companies will help make your Irish experience the best it can be!

Book Your Trip to Ireland: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner or Momondo to find a cheap flight. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned. Start with Skyscanner first though because they have the biggest reach!

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• Safety Wing (for everyone below 70)
• Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
• Medjet (for additional repatriation coverage)
