Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Private Driver. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Private tour - highly recommend!
We had two drivers for a day-trip to the Burren for our group of 10. DC and Christian were the BEST! They were so helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. At the end of our trip, each person named their highlights and everyone called out this day as their favorite! Connemara Chauffeurs is organized, communicative and reliable. While I had preplanned the itinerary myself, on the day of the tour, DC and Christian added a stop and modified a couple others, and they were spot on! They felt like a part of our family for the day. Highly recommend this company!

We hit the Irish lottery with our driver
Our driver, Owen Jennings, added to the richness of our two adventures: once to Kylemore Abbey and Cong, and second, to a sheep dog trial and walk in Connemara National Park. He offered helpful tips when we didn’t know what to do; he made sure he knew each one of our 9 family members’ names; and he shared his love of this part of the country with us. He was on time, knew the routes by heart and helped us get to all the places we wonted to go. Thank you to Connemara Chauffeurs for matching us with a lovely person and safe driver.

Private Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.
How much does Private Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $1,464 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Driver take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Galway is not rushed.
Is 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 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 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 Private Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Driver?
+
Around 1 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 Galway 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 Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 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 Galway 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 Galway?
+
On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle 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 Galway?
+
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 Galway?
+
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.
What is included in Private Driver?
+
Included: Private transportation; and On-board WiFi. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Driver include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 193 listed pickup locations in and around Galway.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Driver?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Driver wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Driver if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
