We will be in Galway for 2 days and hoping to have a private driver to drive us for day trips around Galway. 

Has anyone used or heard of these companies?
Ireland Prestige Tours:https://irelandprestigetours.com
Rabbie’s: https://www.rabbies.com/en
Firebird:https://www.firebirdtours.com
Special-Ireland: https://special-ireland.com/

Some people are saying to make sure the tour guide is an accredited licensed tour guide and SPSV Licensed driver.  We were going to drive to save money but there will be only 1 who can drive so we decided to hire a driver instead.  How much per day is reasonable and any of the sites decent for day tours?

Hi Dinna,

How nice that you are planning to explore Galway's surroundings.

While I haven't heard of the chauffeur or tour companies you mentioned, I'd suggest you also have a look at chauffeur companies listed on Ireland.com.

We also have similar threads about private drivers on the forum as well as ideas and options to explore Connemara and County Galway without a car. Who knows, maybe you'll find alternatives. 😊 

What places did you plan to explore during those two days? I would certainly recommend Connemara (Letterfrack, Roundstone), the Aran Islands and perhaps the Cliffs of Moher since you aren't that far.

Have a good day,
Antoine
