Private Tours of Ireland

Your Ireland. Your way. With a local expert behind the wheel.

Private Tours Showcasing the Best of Ireland

A private tour with MunsterBus is exactly that: private. No strangers, no compromises, no fixed itinerary dragging you somewhere you didn’t ask to go. It’s your group, your pace, and your dates all built around what you actually want to see and do in Ireland.

Your guide and driver is a local, born and bred in the country, who knows these roads and the stories behind them in a way no guidebook ever could. There’s no script. Just genuine knowledge, good craic, and a real passion for showing people the Ireland that most visitors never get to see. When you book a tour with MunsterBus, you will travel in comfort throughout, in a luxury Mercedes vehicle that’s yours and yours alone for the entire trip.

We offer two ways to do it: a private day tour for those who want a brilliant taste of the country, or a multi-day journey for those who want to really get under the skin of the place. Have a look below and see which fits.

Private Tour options with MunsterBus

Private Multi-Day Tours

From the Ring of Kerry to the Cliffs of Moher, some of Ireland’s finest places take more than a day to do justice. Our multi-day private tours run from a few nights to a full 10-night expedition across the country. We can help plan the whole journey, including accommodation and a route shaped around your interests. The Wild Atlantic Way is waiting. 

Private Day Tours

One day and one brilliant stretch of Ireland. Our private day tours set out from Cork, Kerry and Limerick and take in some of the most spectacular scenery the south has to offer, with the flexibility to linger where you like and skip what doesn’t interest you. No fixed stops, no rush. 

WHY CHOOSE MUNSTERBUS

Local guides

Our guides are born and bred in Ireland and know this country the way only a local can. They’ll bring you to the best pubs in Killarney, find you the perfect spot for a bowl of chowder in Kinsale, and share the kind of insider knowledge that no guidebook comes close to. This is their home, and they can’t wait to show it off.

Luxury vehicles

You’ll travel in a private Mercedes coach that’s reserved exclusively for your group. It’s comfortable, well-maintained, and a world away from a crowded public tour bus. Whether you’re covering a lot of ground on a multi-day trip or making the most of a single day, you’ll arrive everywhere relaxed and ready to enjoy it.

Fully bespoke

No two MunsterBus private tours are the same, and that’s entirely the point. Your itinerary is built around your group’s interests, your pace, and your timeframe. Want to spend longer in one place? Grand. Want to add a stop we haven’t suggested? Just say the word. This is your trip.

Groups of all sizes

From a couple celebrating an anniversary to a family reunion of 16, we’ll put together something that works for your group. Private tours aren’t just for big parties. Some of our best days out have been with just two people who wanted Ireland all to themselves.

Some of Our Favourite Corners of Ireland

Ireland has no shortage of places that stop you in your tracks. Our private tours take in some of the country’s most iconic spots. Explore popular tours and destinations below:

The Benefits of a Private Tour

A private tour means it’s your group and your group only, travelling at whatever pace suits you, stopping where you want, and skipping what you don’t.

Your guide will take you beyond the well-worn tourist trail to the places most visitors never find, with the stories and local knowledge to bring it all to life.

There’s no scrambling for seats on a coach, no waiting for strangers, and no compromising on where you spend your time. Just good company, brilliant scenery, and a trip that moves to your rhythm.

There’s nothing to organise, nothing to worry about, and nothing to figure out on the day. Just show up and enjoy it. And whether you’re celebrating a milestone, reconnecting with your roots, or simply making the most of your time in Ireland, we’ll make sure the trip feels like it was made for you. Because it was.

FAQ

All private tours include a dedicated local driver-guide, a luxury Mercedes vehicle for your group, and a fully planned itinerary. Multi-day tours also include accommodation.
