Excellent Service By Locals
Our family had an outstanding experience with Pro Transfers Dublin during our trip. From the moment we arrived, they provided seamless airport transfers and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay, giving us complete peace of mind. They also chauffeured us on a fantastic private tour that included Kilkenny, Glendalough, Wicklow, the beautiful Guinness Lake, and a sheepdog demonstration. Keith or driver and guide was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a memorable experience. What impressed us most was their reliability and flexibility. They were always on time, easy to reach, and willing to adjust plans to meet our family's needs. The service felt personalized, professional, and surprisingly affordable for the level of attention and care we received. We couldn't have asked for a better transportation partner during our time in Ireland. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, friendly, and high-quality transportation and private touring services in Dublin and beyond. We would absolutely use them again on our next visit!
Response from the operator: Thank you Amy!!! What a wonderful review to receive. Thanks for all your kindness and generosity. It was a great please looking after your needs over the 4 days you were here and we are very thankful for your ongoing support.

Keith and Pro transfers Dublin made our trip to Ireland unforgettable!!!
I cannot recommend Keith and Pro Transfers Dublin highly enough. There were six of us traveling together—three couples in our late 40s and early 50s—and for two of the couples, this was their very first trip to Europe. My wife and I have visited Ireland multiple times, but this was the first time we decided to hire a private driver and guide. Looking back, it was hands down the best decision we made for the entire trip. From the moment Eddie picked us up in Dublin on Day 1, we knew we were in good hands. We had a detailed four-day itinerary, but both Eddie and Keith helped us maximize every moment without ever making us feel rushed. They took the stress out of navigating, driving, parking, and logistics, allowing us to focus completely on enjoying Ireland. For the next three days, Keith was our driver, guide, storyteller, entertainer, and, by the end of the trip, our friend. Not only did he take us to every destination on our itinerary, but he also introduced us to hidden gems and scenic stops we would never have found on our own. Many of those unexpected stops ended up being some of our favorite memories of the entire trip. The vehicles were spotless, spacious, and perfect for our group. Every day they were stocked with water, chocolates, crisps, doughnuts, and other treats that made the journey even more enjoyable. What truly sets Keith apart, however, is the experience he creates. His knowledge of Irish history, culture, traditions, and local life is incredible. Every drive felt like a personal tour filled with fascinating stories, local insights, and plenty of laughs. Keith also happens to be the undisputed king of Dad Jokes, and there wasn't a day that went by without our group laughing hysterically. One of my favorite memories was Keith explaining the roots and stories behind some of the traditional Irish songs we heard drinking in the pubs the night before. By the following mornings, we were singing along in the van—especially my personal favorite, "The Rattlin' Bog." Throughout the journey, Keith seemed to know exactly where to stop for the most breathtaking views, unforgettable photo opportunities, and authentic Irish experiences. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure our trip was special. By the end of our four days together, Keith didn't feel like a tour driver—he felt like family. Every one of us agreed that he played a huge role in making this one of the most memorable vacations we have ever taken. If you are planning a trip to Ireland and are considering hiring a driver or guide, stop looking and book Keith and Pro Transfers Dublin. It will be one of the best investments you make in your trip. Ireland is an incredible country, but Keith and his team elevated our experience beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you, Keith and Eddie, for helping create memories that our group will be talking about for years to come. Our Tour: • Day 1 – Dublin to Kilkenny • Day 2 – Kilkenny to Killarney • Day 3 – Killarney to Galway • Day 4 – Galway to Dublin
Response from the operator: Wow just wow. For our 200th review we could not have asked for a better or kinder one that you have just left us Bryan. Thank you so very much! From both myself and Eddie it was a pleasure showing you and the rest of the group around. Such a fun bunch of people who know how to have a great time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. See you next time.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $1361 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 Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver?
+
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 Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver?
+
Around 5 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Glendalough & Kilkenny From Dublin Full Day - Private Driver 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 Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. 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.
