Explore Galway with a Private Driver
Galway is Ireland's cultural heartbeat — a vibrant, colourful city on the edge of the wild Atlantic Ocean where traditional Irish music fills the pubs nightly and the bohemian spirit is very much alive. As a touring base for the west of Ireland, Galway is unrivalled.
From Galway, our private taxi tours take you to some of Ireland's most breathtaking landscapes. The Connemara wilderness begins just west of the city — a vast, rugged terrain of mountains, peat bogs, glacial lakes, and dramatic coastlines. The Aran Islands sit just off the coast. The Cliffs of Moher are less than an hour south through the lunar-like landscape of The Burren.
Ireland Taxi Tour provides private chauffeur services with pickups from Galway city centre, your hotel, or Ireland West Airport Knock. Our experienced driver-guides have an intimate knowledge of every hidden gem and scenic detour across the west of Ireland.
