Fabulous tour. Our guide could not have been more helpful and attentive. The only bummer was the train ride back to Dublin from Galway: the three hour ride was spent on a train with little to zero air conditioning. Thank heavens our guide ran ahead and secured the "coolest" car for us. It was a very warm day and the heat was oppressive. Folks in the other cars were getting ill from the lack of fresh or cool air. I would strongly suggest that they fix the air conditioning in those cars as it was a three hour ride. Otherwise, the trip was flawless. The lunch at the pub in Doolin was the best meal in over a week!

Too little time in Galway city, that's all. Things felt a bit rushed at Bunratty Castle & ground. Otherwise, the tour covers loads and is well worth the price paid!

Great fun, aside from the early departure time. Our tour guide was very nice. The meal in town was very good, too! Make sure to bring your waterproof jacket regardless of the weather where you are staying.

A long day, but the Cliffs of Moher are impressive.

Most of the day was spent on the bus or the train. An hour was spent at most of the stops, there was not a lot of time to enjoy the various sights. Tour of the castle was very short but informative. Most other stops were not that exciting. The coach was comfortable, and our tour guide was funny and very informative.

A lot of sitting and waiting. The guide was great.

Got off to a bad start with bus overheating and had to stop and let cool several times. The areas visited were great, however, the bus driver was pretty reckless and surly in his attempts to make up lost time due to bus problems. Also the tour guide was too talkative complaining about gas tax and cigarette taxes, etc. The lunch stop was good food, poor service and ill prepared for the group. Cold rainy day and they set us in an unheated back room while the driver and guide set near a fireplace. Was also overly expensive for a lunch. Was disappointed overall in the tour compared to other tours including Viator ones that I took while there.

The Cliffs of Moher were of course great to see. The castle was even more interesting. The tour guide really could have added more to the trip by sharing more insights and preparing us better for the experience at the Cliffs. I was surprised when we were only given one hour there out of our entire day it turned out to be sufficient, but I wouldn't have questioned if given the right preparation. Also, did not like having only one option for lunch - far too expensive for lunch.

After having taken the Inverness Tour in Scotland, I was surprised that this Dublin Rail Tour did not live up to the same standards. The tour guide did not give much information on what we saw on the rail or from the coach. I expected much more commentary on this tour. I do not feel that I learned near as much as I did on the Inverness Tour.

I didn't like the greeting in morning and the train boarding was a bit confusing. Also being left in Galway and told to find our own way to train an hour later, then having to join a long queue to board train is not what you expect when you have paid for a tour. The bus tour was great.

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to go to the caves. We didn't go to the caves, though. The trip is very long and we only had one hour at the cliffs. I recommend choosing a different tour.

The only problem with this tour was that the guide left us on our own at the train station at the end with no instructions. The organization could be improved.
