"We had used About Ireland Taxi Tours previously. They gave us great taxi service and more! First of all, we didn't have to drive a car ourselves in Ireland . Second, their drivers are excellent at sorting out what we wanted to do and then adding some small stops along the way. The drivers were local to the area we were touring, so they could answer any questions that we had.
Their vehicles were in good condition and very clean. GREAT SERVICE!"

"Jenny and Bob will set you up to go anywhere you like..You can get hold of them anytime. The drivers Liam and Paudie were such good drivers and could tell you all about Ireland....if you wished. Thats what is great about this group. They told me it was my holiday and I could go where I wished and stay as long as I wanted. All were very pleasant and nice. Liam became our best friend for the day. Unless someone really loves challenging driving, I would advise you to get a driver for the day. Well worth the money."

"About Ireland Taxi is an amazing and affordable resource for visitors to Ireland. Jody, of the Traveling in Ireland Podcast, connected me with Bob and we could not have been happier with his prompt responses to my many questions from Day 1. We were able to work with him to plan a driver for both of our airport transfers and a day trip to Connemara. Our driver, Brendan, went above and beyond for our family of 6, suggesting stops and additional outings that made our trip special and memorable. We will be reaching out to Bob for our next trip to Ireland and would highly recommend About Ireland Taxi Tours to anyone else!"
