Wild Rover Day Tours Avis 27

The tour and tge whole bus trip to Belfast, Dunluce Castle and Giants Causeway was just wonderful. Our guide Saoirse was just incredible and very knowledgeable, she is also a great Gaelic teacher and singer, we were just amazed :) the trip was organised super good - big thanks to our driver Vasyl :) All details and meeting points and locations and times were explained to us very good, it was super easy to find the bus and nobody had any problem. We came back to Dublin on time overwhelmed by the magnificent views of the Antrim Coas and delicious food, interesting tours of choice in Belfast and amazing stories on various topics from our guide Saoirse :) thank you so much for a wonderful day:)

This was the worst experience I had from all tours, large or small, from 30+ countries I visited. We had a compressed schedule in Ireland and therefore booked a day trip from Dublin to Galway/Cliff based on the good reviews. There looked like half dozen exact same buses going on the same tour. When we got to Galway, we were told to meet at bus 4:40 for back to Dublin. We got back to the bus stop 4:30 at the pinned GPS location, and saw the bus door closed without realizing that it was not the same bus (they all looked the same, and lined up one next to another). So we waited. The door opened at 4:45 when we realized it was not our driver. We were told our bus just left. A series of episodes followed with one tour guide trying to find us empty seats and others not bothered. None of the remaining tour buses could take us in end. As experienced travelers as we were, we were able to find a way an hour later back to Dublin. Nevertheless we had to contact the tour company to retrieve our bag left on the original bus. The time lost was most frustrating given our already tight schedule. We wouldn’t have been in the situation had the tour guide stepped outside the bus and gave a look back the side road. Apparently we were not the only group left behind. Met a few parties in the similar situation as we were looking for options back to Dublin. The funny things was that we paid the Citylink bus back to Dublin with the tip we planned to give the guide :-).

My 2 cents: avoid going on tours of popular routes with a large company like this with mostly inexperienced tour guides during peak travel seasons. You could easily be in our situation.

I thought this tour was pretty good, but the reason I am giving it a 1 star is because we had purchased 4 tickets. We were with my boyfriend's parents who are older and they got sick on our trip to Ireland. They were up all night with a cold- coughing and sneezing and not sleeping. We originally were going to take the tour on a Monday, but we moved the day to Wednesday to see if they'd be feeling better. They unfortunately were not, so they couldn't make the tour. I have emailed the company to see if we could get a refund for our 2 tickets-- the bus was packed and overflowed onto another bus. Who would want coughing/ sneezing people on a full tour bus like that anyway? This company will not budge with a refund. They said they saved the 2 spots for us in terms of seating (which isn't true- because the bus was full) and that the tour operated as scheduled (well yeah- that's not the issue). When you go to their website it says 100% money back guarantee. So, 1 star from me because I would like a refund- I mean, how hard could it be to refund 2 tickets? Do they really need the money that badly?

the tour itself was fine but we were really iffy about going after a rather sarcastic gent took our query , think he said his name was John , was a bit sarcastic and pushy for that reason we were a bit skeptical about even going so wont be dealing we this tour company ever again

We did the tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway.
Our guide was Kim and our driver was Lisa.
We had a wonderful day, Kim told us so much, very interesting stuff, but also we had a good laugh with her. We felt safe with Lisa as driver.

we went on the Wicklow mountains/ Kilkenny tour. our guide was called Kathy who was very friendly & knowledgeable explaining the history of ireland. & our driver jerry kept us all safe with his excellent driving . the tour lasted 10 hours but seemed to pass in no time , i would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Dublin this year.
