NCDA Ireland Newcomer of the Year 2024
Your group, your car, your pace.
Private chauffeur-driven tours of Dublin and day trips across Ireland with Pat Hall, NCDA Ireland Newcomer of the Year 2024. From €550 per vehicle with fuel and tolls included. It's a driving tour for your group only, not a walking tour or a shared coach.
Hall Chauffeurs runs Dublin private tours by car. The company is owned by Pat Hall, who was named Newcomer of the Year 2024 by the National Chauffeur Drivers Association of Ireland (NCDA Ireland). You book the vehicle and chauffeur for your own group, we collect you in Dublin, and the day runs at your pace. There’s no coach, no strangers and no walking from one end of the city to the other.
Every price is per vehicle, not per person, and includes fuel and tolls. A Dublin City tour starts at €550 for up to 3 people in a luxury saloon. Day trips run from €600 for Howth and Malahide to €950 for the Cliffs of Moher and Galway City. You can also build your own route, or book a 5, 7 or 10-day tour of Ireland. Admission fees to attractions aren’t included.

6 to 8 hours
From €550 in a luxury saloon or €700 in the V-Class
We pick you up anywhere in Dublin city centre. The tour stops at the Guinness Storehouse, where you finish with a pint at the Gravity Bar, then passes St Patrick’s Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral and St Audoen’s Church. It ends with whiskey tastings at the Jameson Distillery, and we drop you back anywhere in the city centre.
It suits a first day in Dublin, or anyone who can’t walk around the city all day.
6 to 8 hours
From €600 in a luxury saloon or €750 in the V-Class
This tour heads north of the city to the fishing village of Howth on its peninsula, and to Malahide, home of Malahide Castle. It’s the shortest drive of any of our day trips from Dublin.
6 to 8 hours
From €650 in a luxury saloon or €750 in the V-Class
You’ll see Powerscourt Gardens and Waterfall, then Glendalough, the valley of the two lakes with its round tower, cathedral and St Kevin’s Church. The mountain road passes Lough Dan, Lough Tay (the “Guinness Lake”) and Glenmacnass Waterfall, and Johnnie Fox’s Pub is on the route for lunch or a pint.
These are narrow mountain roads that most visitors would rather not drive on the left.
8 hours
From €750 in a luxury saloon or €900 in the V-Class
This tour heads south to Kilkenny, a medieval city with its castle on the River Nore, and on to Waterford, Ireland’s oldest city.
10 hours
From €800 in a luxury saloon or €900 in the V-Class
The Cliffs of Moher sit on the west coast, across the country from Dublin. They rise about 700 feet above the Atlantic, and on a clear day you can see Galway Bay and the Aran Islands. The tour also takes in Doolin and the limestone landscape of the Burren.
West coast weather changes fast, and fog can hide the cliffs, so check the forecast with us before you fix a date.
10 hours
From €950 in a luxury saloon or €1,200 in the V-Class
This is the Cliffs of Moher tour with time in Galway City added, for groups who want to see the west coast and a lively city in one day.
10 hours
From €850 in a luxury saloon or €1,095 in the V-Class
You travel south to Blarney Castle, home of the Blarney Stone, and on to Cork City.
Not every group wants a set route. Tell us where you’d like to go, how many people are travelling and how long you have, and we’ll send you a price for your own tour.
Hall Chauffeurs also runs private tours of Ireland over several days. Choose a 5, 7 or 10-day tour, or any number of days, and we’ll plan the route around what you want to see. Ask us for a quote.
Every Hall Chauffeurs tour price is per vehicle and covers your private car and chauffeur for the day. Here’s what is and isn’t included.
Popular attractions, especially the Guinness Storehouse, sell timed tickets that can run out in summer.
A private tour with Hall Chauffeurs costs from €550 to €1,200 per vehicle, depending on the tour and the vehicle. Because the price is for the whole vehicle, it stays the same however many people are in it, up to the vehicle’s limit.
That makes a private tour good value for families and small groups. Six people sharing the V-Class on the Wicklow tour pay €750 in total, which is €125 each. Three people in the luxury saloon on the Cliffs of Moher tour pay €800, or about €267 each. Coach tours from Dublin cost less per seat, but you share the bus, the stops and the timetable with strangers.

Search for Dublin private tours and you’ll find three different things. Here’s how they compare.
Private chauffeur tour (Hall Chauffeurs)
Private walking tour
Group coach tour
A walking tour is the right choice if you want to explore the city centre on foot. A coach tour is cheapest if you’re travelling alone. A private chauffeur tour suits groups who want to leave Dublin, keep the same car all day and decide when to stop.
Pick by how long you’re happy to spend in the car. Howth and Malahide, and Glendalough and Wicklow, are the closest day trips from Dublin, at 6 to 8 hours, and they work well with children or older travellers. Waterford and Kilkenny takes about 8 hours.
The Cliffs of Moher, Galway and Cork are on the far side of the country, so those tours take about 10 hours. They’re worth it if you’ve come a long way to see them, but a good part of the day is spent on the road. If you want to see both the west coast and Cork, a multi-day tour is easier than two long day trips.
