As we drive down some of Ireland’s most beautiful but smaller roads, the first comment heard is usually ‘thank goodness we booked Ireland – at Your Leisure as I could never drive down this road’.

At Johnsfort Ireland at Your Leisure, we take care of all the driving for you. We also take care of the planning, the accommodation, the bookings, the tours and everything else in between. From the reactions of our guests and the relief they feel after experiencing a private tour with us we have compiled 6 reasons why you should choose a private guided tour with us instead of a self-drive.

Safety:

Irish roads are often narrow, with trees, hedges and ditches alongside which are quite daunting if you are not used to them. There are also a lot of roundabouts which can cause a lot of confusion. City streets have bus lanes, and cycle lanes and can be very busy and narrow. In Ireland we drive on the left-hand side of the road with the steering on the right – everything is opposite to the U.S.

Planning:

Together with you, we will plan your itinerary: where are you going to visit, where is best to eat, what restaurants best suit your group, what experiences are good and what are overrated. We know who is providing the best activities at the best time of year. We will get your timing right and fill your day with super activities, avoiding possible congestion and lines.  You can customise your tour with us but overall, you will have very little planning or relying on guidebooks or social media influencers which can be misleading.

Comfort:

You will be chauffeured from Dublin Airport and for the duration of your stay in a luxurious Mercedes 8 seater van without the stress of:

  • collecting a car
  • making sure you have the correct documents
  • worrying about insurance
  • terrified of scraping or denting or worse
  • navigating our narrow roads

Local Knowledge:

You will be driven around by a fully qualified and professional tour guide with insightful knowledge of Ireland, its history, culture and countryside and someone to always take care of you. We know local laws and customs and you can avoid potentially awkward situations.

Cost Effective:

Irish rental cars are predominantly stick shift and you will pay a premium for an automatic car. We can also offer money-saving tips and getting better value for your money and avoid tourist traps. Our diesel/gas is currently costing approx. $7-$8 per gallon. There are tolls on all the major highways. These are all included in the price with us. Our tours and accommodation start from only €800 per person for a five-day farm stay with private tours.

Inclusivity:

Everyone is on vacation with nobody dealing with the stress of driving and no one person making all the decisions. Everyone gets to see the sites all around you while travelling. Nobody misses out on that glass of wine or pint of Guinness and no one in your group feels exhausted at the end of the day from all the driving.

Hands down according to our previous guests a private tour with Ireland at Your Leisure wins every time.  Our guests go home feeling relaxed after having a proper holiday in Ireland with extra time for more fun, more time together and making more special memories.
