      Amazing tour! A castle, the cliffs, lunch, the burren and Galway all in one day!
      This tour was so enjoyable and traveling by train was the best. John Todd our tour guide was helpful, pleasant, accommodating and informative. He was a wealth of information and a great picture taker! He really made the trip special. I highly recommend the tour. However the bus driver, Michael, was a very unhappy person and needs an attitude adjustment.

      Very good tourist
      Was a great tour, our tourist John Todd was great, provided a lot of good information about everything we seen. I will recommend him to other people. The driver Michael was very rude no smile on his face. He looked miserable.

      Day Trip
      Very nice trip to see the Bunrutty Castle and the Cliffs of Moher. Norman gave a very good almost continuous dialog of what we were seeing. The Castle and surrounding old town were very nice and very pretty. The Cliffs were awesome and we were lucky it was a mostly clear day but very windy and cool. The city of Galway was nice and we had a great meal at Garvey’s Inn.

      Railtours Ireland: Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Bunratty Castle Rail/Coach Tour
      Thank you to our driver Michael and our guide Norman. Norman is so knowledeable of the area, we learned so much and have a deeper appreciation for Ireland after meeting him. This tour was perfect in every way. The Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Bunratty Castle and more! The trip was efficient, well organized, and comfortable. A long day that was well worth it!

      You Want Andrew as Your Guide!
      After a crazy time taking the train from Cork (where we were staying) to Cobh to meet up with the group, just so we could take the train back to Cork to begin our tour, we actually had a great time. I cannot say enough about Andrew, our guide. He was the nicest guy ever, and he made sure that after our rough start, we had a wonderful tour day. He was very knowledgeable, informative, and was so kind and helpful. I learned really interesting information about Cork that I would not have known without the tour. The Blarney Castle was so much fun, and the grounds are beautiful. I really wish we had had more time there, but we were on a timeline to get most people back to their cruise ship. At the end, Cobh was awesome, and we decided to stay a while because it was beautiful.

      Superb organization, first class accommodations, knowledgeable guides who were friendly and helpful.
      This was our first organized tour and it exceeded our expectations. The logistics were well organized but it was the people that made the experience special. Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful guides made the tour memorable.

      Local lass goes solo
      I’m from Dublin and wanted to visit the Giants Causeway but didn’t want to drive. I found Railtours Ireland online and they fitted the bill for what I was looking for. I apprehensively booked on the day tour up North and yes I am glad I did! It was a super fun trip in no small part due to the engaging host who is a great representative for Irish Tourism. I have tons of photos and could write a paper on the Giants Causeway I now have so much knowledge. Thanks to Railtours Ireland, my fellow travel companions the bus driver Richard and Mr John Todd for such a great day out it was worth every penny.

      Amazing Giant’s Causway
      We had an amazing day with our guide, John Todd. Train ride was excellent. The weather cooperated, and even though we had a little rain, it cleared up by the time we got to the Causway. We got a bonus stop at Bushmill, too! Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone with time in Dublin!

      Excellent Tour by Train & Bus
      As we had never been to Ireland, this tour from our ship docked in Cobh fit our needs very well. We had a private railcar just for our group, which quickly took us from Cobh to Cork, where we transferred to a large bus. We then proceeded to Blarney Castle, where we spent several hours walking the gardens. The castle itself is empty and the line to kiss the stone was 90 minutes. After souvenir shopping and a quick lunch at Woolen Mills, we were off through Cork to our final stop at St. Colman's Cathedral. Andrew, our guide, did an outstanding job with his driver optimizing our experience. Andrew was not only very knowledgeable and personable but very cognizant of the time, as our ship was leaving in the afternoon. We will definitely use Railtours again when visiting Ireland.
