Led by Paul Smith, a chauffeur and tour guide with over 25 years of experience in Irish tourism, every day tour combines comfort, flexibility, and genuine local insight — no rental cars, no navigating unfamiliar roads, and no rigid itineraries.

  • Muckross House — a 19th-century mansion and gardens with rich local history

Ideal for combining natural beauty with a taste of Ireland’s heritage.

Cliffs of Moher Private Day Tour

One of Ireland’s most iconic landmarks, the Cliffs of Moher rise dramatically over the Atlantic on the County Clare coastline. Setanta’s private chauffeur service means you can enjoy the cliffs at your own pace, with time to properly take in the views, rather than rushing back to a tour bus.

Ring of Kerry Private Chauffeur Tour

The Ring of Kerry is one of the most celebrated scenic drives in the world, winding past mountains, coastline, and traditional villages. A private day tour gives you the freedom to stop wherever you like — something a group bus simply can’t offer.

Giant’s Causeway Day Tour

In Northern Ireland, the Giant’s Causeway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its striking hexagonal basalt columns. Setanta’s chauffeur service makes it easy to combine this iconic stop with other highlights along the Antrim coast, all in one private day tour.

Custom Day Tours Built Around You

Beyond these popular routes, Setanta Chauffeur Tours can build a fully custom day tour around your own must-see list — whether that’s a specific attraction, a hidden local spot, or a mix of several regions in one day.
