The only word to describe this tour was incredible. Our guide, Marcus, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and attentive. He went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. There were only 4 of us on the tour also so it was very intimate. We were truly surprised at the beauty of Southwest Ireland. Days 3 and 4 at Slea Head and the Ring of Kerry were simply amazing. It helped that we had very pretty and sunny weather as well. This was easily one of the best trips we have ever taken. Thank you Marcus and thank you Rabbie’s!

I was traveling with two of my sisters and we chose Rabbie's small group tour with some trepidation in spite of the 5 star reviews we’d read. Expectations wildly exceeded. From the moment we gathered in central Dublin, our guide and driver Joe O’Connor made the five days a glorious adventure in the South West of Ireland.
Whether on a tour or on ones own, the scenery and sites would have been marvelous (though it is hard to imagine we could have covered nearly as much on our own during the time). With Joe’s storytelling, clear narration as he drove and passion for Ireland, the tour couldn’t have been better. The days were chock-full yet without a hurried feel and the evenings in Galway (one night) and Killarney (three nights) gave us a chance to experience the vibrancy of each town.

We've just completed the 5 day Wild South West Ireland with Marcus from Rabbies. We've travelled a lot and always independently. However, this tour has made me realise that this type of small group tour with an excellent guide has a lot to offer. Highly recommended

Our Viator tour via Rabbies was just great. Our driver Marcus was the perfect mix of information. humor, and conscientious caring for all of us in his charge. He gave really good recommendations for restaurants each evening and was very clear about pick up times. It was especially nice that we had a small and very congenial group of travelers on this tour

We had an absolutely incredible time on our 5 day tour of the west and south coast of Ireland. (Sept 1-5). I cannot say enough about our brilliant tour guide Colm. He was always organized, prompt, kind, funny and interesting. I was in awe of his tremendous knowledge about all things Irish~ geography, history, politics, social and environmental. He was so informative and added much to my learning of this wonderful country. Colm always kept us informed of our schedule each day and added some amazing experiences I'll never forget. (loved the Celtic Dance and the sheep-dog demonstration!). Our tour bus was immaculate and with only 8 of us there was plenty of room and comfort. Colm has a wonderful way of including everyone and really made this tour far outreach my expectations. I loved the way the tour was organized. Our daily stops were well chosen~ beautiful and interesting. The tour booked our accommodations and they were both fantastic~ one a quaint bed & breakfast and the other part of a town pub. Each provided delicious breakfasts, had comfortable, clean rooms and great service. I really appreciated the pace of this tour too. Ample free time was allotted so I did not feel rushed and could enjoy all the locations. I would highly recommend this tour and will definitely choose this company again. ~~Rosemary & John

Our 12-day trip to Ireland included a 5-day small group Escape to the Southwest tour with Rabbies. Our driver, Ian, was funny, knowledgeable, articulate and kind. In addition to his knowledge of history, he had us all laughing with his stories of growing up in Ireland. His driving was professional and we felt very safe - I can’t imagine driving the Ring of Kerry myself!! The scenery was amazing and included castles, beaches, distilleries (would have liked a guided tour of Kilbeggan Distillery), Dingle Penninsula and various small towns where we ate everyday - we were even encouraged to “pull a pint” at one of the pubs. So much fun! We only had 12 people on the tour and they couldn’t have been nicer; in addition to sharing lunches each day, we even met a few nights at local pubs in Killarney to share a glass of wine (or Guinness) and listen to local music. The small group tour (especially with Ian!) was the way to go and I would not hesitate to recommend Rabbies!

My wife and I had never been on a tour but decided we would give it a try. We could not have been more pleased with the Rabbies tour we were on. With only 9 passengers on board a bus that could hold 18, we were able to quickly enter and exit the bus at every stop. Our driver, Joe O'Connor was a total delight with his love and knowledge of Ireland and teaching us some traditional Irish songs as he drove along the tour routes. Each day was filled with various sights from a chocolate factory, a whiskey distillery, watching a collie dog herd sheep, the Cliffs of Moher, beautiful beaches . landscapes, castles and so much more. Joe engaged everyone on board and encouraged questions and conversations while we were travelling. We were so fortunate that our first tour experience was so terrific. We will definitely tell our friends if they are planning a trip to Ireland to look in to booking a Rabbies tour (with Joe).

Chose to go on this tour through Southern Ireland as part of our Honeymoon. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our Tour guide Joe and the family he created from what started out as strangers. Joe truely encompasses all the wonderful stories you hear of the compassion and kindness of the Irish people and makes you feel instantly like you belong. Thank you so much for making this the highlight of our trip!

Ireland is a magical place to visit but it enriches the experience if it is done with the guide of those people who are not view tour guidance only a job but a way to communicate and show their heritage and rich culture in a joyful way and Mr. Joe O’Conner was one of the best examples of such attitude. As a solo traveler he made this trip safe and fun and educational.
