Private Taxi Tours from Ireland’s Cruise Ports
Ireland is full of breathtaking landscapes, ancient history, and charming towns, perfect for visitors arriving by cruise ship who want a memorable day ashore. Whether it’s the towering cliffs of the Wild Atlantic Way, ancient castles nestled in the countryside, or sacred monastic sites hidden in forested valleys — the island is full of stories, history, and landscapes that take your breath away.
For many visitors, especially those arriving by cruise ship, one of the biggest questions is: how do you experience Ireland in a single day, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed?
That’s where About Ireland Taxi Tours comes in.

Where Can You Go on a Private Tour in Ireland?
There’s no one-size-fits-all tour — and that’s the beauty of it. From towering coastal cliffs to historic castles and ancient sites, Ireland has something for everyone. Popular private tour stops include the Cliffs of Moher, Sliabh League, Rock of Cashel, Lismore Castle, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough, Newgrange, and The Giant’s Causeway.
Some of the most popular destinations we guide visitors to include:
🏞️ Cliffs of Moher – Ireland’s most famous natural wonder, with sweeping views over the Atlantic Ocean.
🧗♂️ Sliabh League Cliffs – Towering even higher than the Cliffs of Moher and far less crowded, located in rugged Donegal.
🏰 Rock of Cashel – A medieval stronghold full of history, myth, and striking architecture.
🌳 Lismore Castle – A hidden gem in County Waterford, surrounded by beautiful gardens and riverside scenery.
🌄 Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough – Ideal for nature lovers and history buffs alike, this area combines serene mountain views with the ruins of a 6th-century monastic settlement.
🌕 Newgrange – Older than the pyramids, this Neolithic tomb is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe.
🌊 The Giant’s Causeway – A UNESCO World Heritage Site shaped by ancient volcanic activity and Irish legend.
Each of these can be explored on a private day tour, custom-designed around your interests and your schedule with ship docking times in mind.
