Sean's Bar
Earning the title of The Oldest Pub In Ireland, and perhaps soon The Oldest Pub in the World, Sean's Bar's history is a fascinating tale. Sean’s Bar has a detailed and documented history right back to 900AD. During renovations in 1970, the walls of the bar were found to be made of "wattle and wicker" dating back to the ninth century. Old coins which were minted by various landlords for barter with their customers were also found. The walls and the coins are on display in the National Museum. One section remains on display in the pub. Sean’s Bar has been researched thoroughly by the Guinness Book of Records and proudly holds the record for "The Oldest Pub in Ireland" with an official dating of 900AD. Research is ongoing into the title of "The Oldest Pub in the World"; so far, nothing older has been found.

Beautifully Well Planned Stress Free Driving and Touring Eire (Ireland).
Anne Marie listened to what we wanted to see/experience and she was on point with our personality of a Senior Golfing Man, a garden loving woman and book worm daughter. It was very flexible to change the plans of the day and/or if someone in the family was tired of the itinerary other options were found by the driver Ollie and Anne Marie. THANK YOU for making it a beautiful stress free experience. The best decision we made was to hire a driver who knew "how to drive" in this beautiful Emerald Isle and talked of its history, sports, people, etc. etc.!!

Private driver
We had Kevin pick us up from the golf course, take us to the cliffs and to our hotel. The following day he took us to the airport. Extremely knowledgeable of the areas and about whiskey! Felt very safe while he was driving. Truly a great guy and would highly recommend using Kevin!

Airport Transfers
This was my second experience with Celtic Chauffeur. My first was three years prior when Fergus toured us around the Dingle Peninsula for several days. This time, I had the pleasure of riding with John for two long airport transfers (3-ish hours each). It was another great experience. The cars are immaculate, the driving is smooth, and the conversation is the best. I can't wait to get back to Ireland and utilize Celtic Chauffeur again.

Great car service
John Murphy from Celtic Chauffeurs drove us from Galway to Kinsale. Great driver. Knowledgable tour guide. Above all, John is a wonderful person to ride with.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.
How much does Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $856 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 Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin 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 6 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 Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin?
+
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 Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin 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 Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin?
+
Included: Bottled water; and On-board WiFi. Not included: Meals; Lunch; and Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour & Transfer Galway to Dublin?
+
