FAQs

Are private driver tour guides worth it?

Yes, private driver tour guides in Ireland are absolutely worth it if you’re looking for a personalised and enriching travel experience. A private tour guide provides local insight, insider knowledge, and the flexibility to tailor your itinerary to your interests. Whether you’re exploring ancient castles or hidden coastal gems, a private guided tour of Ireland ensures a more relaxed and immersive experience compared to group tours.

What sets our Celtic Ways apart is the personal touch. Elaine and I put our own stamp on shape and design of every tour we host and are proud of the team of local guides we have assembled around the country who bring the story of the place they call home to life. For us, to truly know the soul of a place you must first connect to its story. If you’ve travelled this far to be with us in Ireland, we owe it to you to have the pieces in place well before you’ve arrived. Our guests show up… we take care of the rest!

How do private driver tours work?

Our new luxury 9 seater has been a game changer for us. It was the one piece of the jig-saw missing. Now we’ve quite literally got the reins in our own hands and can go with the flow of what each day brings. We’re always ready to adapt and take that unexpected detour if an opportunity presents itself. We’re both firm believers that it’s the unscripted moments on our tours that live long in the memory. Flexibility is key; we welcome spontaneous change of direction and moments of serendipity, ensuring every mile becomes a memory.

At Celtic Ways Ireland, we do not rush the journey. It pays to stay awhile and chat with the locals. There’s something profound in a casual chat that can leave imprints that endure long after the holiday is over. We’ve met people along the way who add that spark to a day through their story, their song, their wit, their humanity that leaves you wanting more. Our private tours in Ireland gives us the space to make all this happen.
