What Our Customers Say About Our Dublin Coastal Tour

Fred Shipley

Dublin Coastal Tour

We booked the Dublin Coastal Tour with Claddagh Tours and it was the highlight of our trip. From Dalkey and Killiney to Malahide Castle and the beautiful Dublin Bay drive, every stop was breathtaking. Our driver-guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, tailoring the day perfectly to our interests. Travelling in a luxury vehicle made it extra comfortable, and we saw parts of Dublin we would never have discovered on our own. Highly recommend this private tour if you want to see the best of the east coast in just one day.
