Ireland West Private Tours are different and unique, we take you to places that are off the beaten track as well as the West’s major tourist attractions. We try to give you both a contemporary and historical flavour of the region, from sites of great historical and cultural importance, to wind swept beaches and rolling hills, to the pulsating cultural and cosmopolitan buzz of Galway City. But the choice is yours, you can pick and plan your itinerary, you can cut and change at will, or linger longer in some places. We give you time to relish the hidden Ireland, you are in complete control.
