5.00My husband and I just returned from a Rabbie’s tour - Northern Ireland & the Atlantic Coast. We left from Dublin with Gabriel. It was a very interesting, informative and fun tour. Gabriel was an excellent driver and was quite the story teller. He taught us all about Irelands history and also gave great recommendations for each town we stayed in. This is my third Rabbie’s tour and we have loved all three. We leave on another tour in Ireland, on Sunday, followed by one in Scotland and then the Lake District in England. I highly recommend Rabbie’s!

5.0016 seater van, Driver who is also the tour guide. Easy travel to various attractions, drop-off and pick-up in front of your hotel, adequate time for coffee/bath breaks. Even if it is only in English, Great Tour. Positive note: Travel companions from Australia , USA and Canada. The only negative note: Air conditioning a little low as a temperature.
Excellent first time in Ireland.

5.00This was the second Rabbie's tour of Ireland that my mom and I went on (the first was 5 days in the Southwest in September 2024) and they were both amazing! Our driver this time was Mark, and he was funny, informative, patient, and helpful at answering any questions he had. He also set up a group chat for everyone on the tour and used it to share pictures, links to stories about places we were visiting, movie recommendations, and menus for restaurants he recommended. The tour itself was wonderful - northwest Ireland is absolutely stunning and feels different from the rest of the country, which I didn't anticipate. And being in Northern Ireland, so steeped in history, was fascinating. This tour went to places that are less visited than a lot of what we saw in the southwest in the fall, so they were more peaceful (at times we were the only vehicle on the road!) but just as beautiful and awe-inspiring. I will always look for Rabbie's tours whenever I visit countries they operate in, and recommend them to others as well. Thanks for another great trip!

5.00I embarked on a 9 day tour. We had 2 drivers during the course of the trip. Our first driver Mark was outstanding. Through the journey he shared endless stories on general Ireland, places we visited, music. It was a well rounded few days. I loved how Mark played song relating to the region we visited. He was excellent at suggesting places to explore and places to eat. Our second driver was John. John was very welcoming and shared stories, very accomodating and providing tips on places. Enjoyed the points of interest and accomodation.

Rabbies 5 Day Northern Ireland and Atlantic Coast

5.00We have recently returned from our 5 day Rabbies Northern Tour. Our guide, Mark Ryan, was excellent. He helped our group get to know each other from the start. It was a delightful group with another couple, a single woman, and an adult son with his mother. He told us many charming stories and legends and weaved those into so much historical information about all our stops. We liked that it was a small vehicle, holding a maximum of 16 - not a huge bus. Rabbies arranged our accommodations, and all were lovely and clean. At our stops, Mark gave suggestions of restaurants and pubs for food and music. We had used Rabbies in Scotland years ago for a one day trip to St. Andrew’s and were very pleased. I would definitely recommend and use Rabbies again.
Magnificent scenery, villages and exceptional guide

5.00We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and saw gorgeous scenery every day. This tour is the perfect way to spend time in some of the most beautiful towns in Northern Ireland and the northwest of Ireland, including Derry, Donegal, Westport and Clifden. We were on the beautiful coast much of the time and walked on several beaches. We enjoyed a lot of traditional music in Donegal and Westport. Our guide/driver, Mark Ryan, was amazing, smart and very funny. I wish he could publish his 5 day “talks” so I could relive all his great information and funny comments and jokes. He kept us laughing!
