Review of Dublin private airport transfers, covering price, pickup, delays, vehicle comfort, value, and who should book this door-to-door service.

“Our driver was not waiting for us when we arrived. We had to call him. He arrived and did not offer to help with luggage. Except putting in the car. Which was a taxi. He spoke on a private call the whole 30 minute drive to the hotel. We could have stood on line for a cab and paid 1/3 the price.”

Review of Dublin’s airport transfer and hop-on hop-off bus package, with route tips, guide highlights, prices, stops, and honest drawbacks.

“Great value and was easy access getting us from/to airport and the hop on/off bus was great. We were at the end of a 2 week EU trip so this was a great low key ride allowing us to see sites in Dublin and enjoy the areas. Drivers were very friendly and fun 🙂”

3.Rossaveel, Galway: Ferry Transfer to Inis Mór (Aran Islands)

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 200 reviews · from $45

Review of the Rossaveel to Inis Mór ferry, with practical tips on timing, bikes, Dún Aonghasa, buses, costs, and island highlights.

“We booked ahead of time. We showed up 30 minutes early, got in line, and had no issues. It was easy to find, easy to park (pay when you leave), and overall a great experience. It does take a little while to get off the boat. We sat downstairs, and they unloaded from the top floor, so there were lots of people lined up waiting to get off. I would say sit upstairs toward the aft of the boat, but it may be tide dependent if they let top or bottom floor off first.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 106 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $65

Review of Dublin's private hotel-to-airport transfer, with group pricing, pickup advice, luggage warnings, timing, and value tips.

“Driver was ON TIME picking us up and delivered us ON TIME to the airport safely with zero stress. When traveling with a large group the last thing you want to worry about is getting around the city to the airport. Don't hassle with a cab who won't show up or an Uber who decides five minutes ahead they dont want to pick you up. This was the best thing I had for our trip. Please tip your driver!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 30 reviews · 30 to 45 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Review of Dublin Airport’s private city transfer, with pricing, pickup tips, luggage advice, reliability concerns, and who should book.

“Save yourself at least 2x what they charge by ordering a taxi from the city center to airport yourself. The company just orders a taxi for you when you can do that yourself through the FreeNow app. Their description says “luxurious transportation experience” to and from the airport when in fact it is only from not to the airport. I gave 2 stars not 1 as the driver did meet us at arrivals and we rode in a Mercedes to our hotel.”

Before we went in each place, he gave us some background on what we’d see. Would definitely book his tour again!”
