SCAM WARNING: Paid Almost $900 for Minivan Tour - Got a Small Beat Up Car Instead; NO TOUR & NO REFUND! Do not book!
FRAUDULENT AND DECEPTIVE — DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR! PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. I URGE VIATOR TO REMOVE THIS PROVIDER FROM ITS PLATFORM. This was, without question, the single worst tour-company experience I have ever had in my life. I have used Viator all over the world for many years, and I have never experienced anything remotely like this. I am writing this review because I do not want another customer to lose hundreds of dollars and have their Dublin experience ruined the way ours was. We paid nearly $900 for a private Dublin tour for four adults that specifically advertised and promised a MINIVAN. A minivan was not provided. Instead, on the day of our scheduled tour, a small, beat-up maroon car arrived. The vehicle had dents, dings, scrapes and a dirty, unpleasant interior. It was plainly not the pristine and shiny large minivan advertised in the tour description and photographs and it was completely inappropriate for four adults on a private sightseeing tour. This is not a matter of the vehicle being slightly different from the photographs. The vehicle that arrived was NOTHING like the large Mercedes minivan prominently depicted in the company's listing. In fact, the very first sentence of the tour description states that a "MINIVAN WILL BE PROVIDED!" They even use an exclamation mark to accentuate that point. That is a very specific representation—not a vague suggestion or a promise that "a vehicle" will be provided. A MINIVAN WAS NOT PROVIDED FOR OUR TOUR AS PROMISED AND AS ADVERTISED! When the small car arrived, we were shocked. I immediately and repeatedly attempted to contact the company to explain that the vehicle was unacceptable and to request the minivan—or at minimum, a vehicle large enough to accommodate four adults comfortably. The company would not answer my calls. I was making international calls and repeatedly trying to reach the company, all while standing there with three other paying customers and a driver who had arrived late. The situation was incredibly frustrating and upsetting. The driver told us that he had been able to reach the company and that the company refused to send a larger vehicle because his car "matched the description" of the car I reserved. Apparently, the company was capable of answering the driver's call but could not be bothered to answer repeated calls from the paying customer who was standing there with the awful vehicle that had been sent. Then, after the company refused to provide the vehicle we had paid for, the driver simply left. We were left standing there, completely dumbfounded. We did not take the tour. We could not reasonably take a private Dublin sightseeing tour for four adults in the vehicle that was sent. Yet the company refused to provide the minivan it had advertised and refused to provide a refund. THIS IS THE PART EVERY POTENTIAL CUSTOMER NEEDS TO KNOW: You are not simply paying for "a tour." You are paying for what the company specifically promises to provide. This company advertised a MINIVAN. We paid nearly $900 for a tour for four adults based upon that representation. A minivan was not provided. Instead, we received a small, dirty, damaged vehicle that was completely inconsistent with the listing. Do not assume the beautiful photographs of the Mercedes minivan are representative of what will actually arrive. Based on our experience, they were not. Even more disturbing, I have now seen another customer's review describing what appears to be a strikingly similar experience —a minivan was advertised, but a small car was sent instead, along with a driver who apparently was not even a tour guide. That makes our experience even more troubling. I have used Viator for years and have booked tours in numerous countries. I have always trusted the platform to connect customers with legitimate tour operators. I have never before experienced what I believe was such a blatant failure to provide the service that was advertised and paid for. After returning home from our trip, I contacted Viator and asked them to investigate the company's refusal to provide the promised vehicle and its refusal to refund the nearly $900 we paid for a tour that we could not and did not take because the promised minivan was not provided and we could NOT fit in the small car. As of the date of this review, I still have not received a refund—neither a full refund nor even a partial refund. I sincerely hope Viator ultimately recognizes what happened here and does the right thing by issuing a full refund. But regardless of what ultimately happens with my refund, I am posting this review for one reason above all others: I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO GO THROUGH THIS. Please learn from our experience. Read the description carefully. Look at the photographs. Understand exactly what is being promised. And then choose another tour company. There are plenty of companies offering tours of Dublin. Please choose literally any other reputable provider rather than risk paying hundreds of dollars for a service and vehicle that may not be provided. Nearly $900 is an enormous amount of money to lose—particularly when you are on vacation, have limited time in Dublin, and are counting on a tour company to deliver exactly what you paid for. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. DO NOT TRUST THE MINIVAN ADVERTISING. DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY RUIN YOUR DAY IN DUBLIN THE WAY THEY RUINED OURS. If I could give this company zero stars—or negative stars—I would. I sincerely hope this review prevents even one other traveler from experiencing what we did.

Not a tour only a driver
We were extremely disappointed in this tour. Pros: Our driver,Diego, was a good driver and very nice guy. Because of tendering off the ship we were an hour and half late and Diego waited for us. Con’s: Diego was not a native Irishman and knew all most nothing about the history, culture and sites of Dublin. This was not a tour and we felt we went away knowing nothing about Dublin. The tour information said we had a van but the car was a small sedan. The price was outrageous $743 for 2 adults to ride around Dublin in a small sedan with limited tour information. This was not Diego’s fault it was the tour companies fault knowing Diego was not a guide but only a driver. We have taken many private tours in other cities with driver/guides that were excellent. I would suggest not taking any tours from Epic tours.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin: Private Chauffeur Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
