★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 60 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,587

Railtours Ireland hosts the journey, with guides such as Norman, Jonathan, and Brian praised for adding humor and local detail. Expect full breakfasts, B&B stays, and long sightseeing days.

“Meeting our guide, Norman, at Heuston station went smoothly. Train ride to Cork was pleasant, a car is reserved for Rail Ireland travelers. Our visit to Blarney Castle and the woolen mills was very pleasant, weather was lovely, flowers in the gardens were magnificent. Not sure the reason, but we traveled by coach rather than train to Killarney. Killarney has grown quite a bit in the 18 years since my last visit. Our B and B was basic but fine, however it was not an easy walk to town. That probably depends on your age. Also it was located on a busy street where the coach couldn't stop. Our guide…”

3.4-Day Cork, Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Cliffs of Moher and Galway Bay Rail Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 48 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,743

Travel from Dublin by hosted train and coach through Cork, Blarney, Cobh, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, Dingle, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, and Galway Bay. You stay three nights in Killarney with Irish breakfast, guided by drivers and hosts such as Brian, Norman, Jonathan, and Morris.

“We generally enjoyed the tour. However, on day 2, to the Ring of Kerry, it was raining all day, and we would have preferred to be taken somewhere else, perhaps a museum. We were unable to see most of the sights that day, due to the rain. Our other complaint is this: despite requesting to the bus driver to turn down the air-conditioning blower so that we could hear him, he didn't do this. We were disappointed we could not hear him, and it was uncomfortably cold in the bus.”

7.4-Day Southern and Western Coast Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 3 reviews · from $1,363

Travel from Dublin by train and small-group coach to Blarney Castle, Cobh, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Bunratty Castle, and the Cliffs of Moher. You will stay three nights in a Killarney B&B, with English-speaking guides and most admissions included.

“Rocky start: so we had arrived at the meeting point, electronic ticket on my phone (and receipt) .... And the tour company didn't have our name at all... And didn't have accommodation organised for us at all. So they sent us off with day passes seeing as I had the receipt and tried to organise accomodation for us while we were on the way. Bad news was : all b&b accommodation was sold out, so we had the choice to cut to the 1 day tour, or pay extra for the 4 star accommodation. I didn't have any other accommodation set up to go back to Dublin at the end…”
