Let somebody else do the driving so you can relax and see the sites. Great tour guide too! - Michael, the driver and Rory the tour guide were top notch. There were about 55 of us on the bus which was very comfortable. We had enough time at each of the stops to see what we wanted to see and do what we wanted to do. The cliffs of Moher are breathtaking, the lunch stop at an Irish pub in Ennis was good and Bunratty Castle was really fun to see. I traveled solo and had a nice seat mate. I wouldn’t recommend doing Bunratty castle with small children because there are a lot of narrow, steep, but other people did it and they didn’t seem to mind too much. I was glad I dressed in layers and had rain gear with me all in all a very enjoyable day trip adventure from Dublin.!

A must do! - This was the Ireland that we went to see! This tour was absolutely amazing and beautiful! It was a full day trip and well worth it. Both our driver (Dermot) and tour guide (Daithi) were very informative and funny. They definitely added to the experience with their knowledge, stories and recommendations. Our particular guides had us preorder our food at a look spot in Ennis and it was absolutely great. We were served quickly, the food was great and that gave us some time to walk around and explore Ennis for a bit. There's no bathroom on board the bus, but there were enough stops along the way where the need wasn't felt. My family truly loved this experience! Highly recommend!

Phenomenal Experience - Phenomenal trip. The cliffs are magnificent and the drive through the Irish countryside was breathtaking. Dermot was a great driver and tour guide, safe behind the wheel and a great storyteller. You can tell he really loves what he does and genuinely wants his guests to learn as much as they can. He was very personable which made the experience way more fun! And getting to tour Ennis and the Bunratty castle was amazing too. Bunratty castle in particular is HUGE. You gotta leave early to do the tour, but I can't recommend it enough to anyone wanting to see the beauty of Ireland without having to go through the hassle of renting a car and driving somewhere unfamiliar. Wild Rover tours takes you to the best spots and you spend a nice chunk of time in each place, so you can really get your fill and soak it all in. Do the tour, you won't regret it!

Great Way to Spend a Day - Ruari and Keith welcomed us on board and continued that welcome throughout the day. Ruari’s commentary was filled with facts and stories. Driver Keith was amazing - some of those roads are not bus friendly. The three destinations are worth visiting and doing them in one day is an efficient use of time (since generally time is limited). Thank you Wild Rover for the tour and your professional staff.

Good times - David and Michael were great at getting us there safely, providing loads of history, and answering any questions. If you get motion sick, the last hour or so of the ride to the cliffs on a large bus, driving on twisty, turny, wavy roads, can induce it. Take bonine/dramamine/cinnarizine, the night before and an hour prior to getting on the bus to combat it. Other than that, the scenery, and tour were a good time.
