Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Yes. Athlone, with its 12th-century castle on the River Shannon, sits just 20 minutes away and pairs naturally with Clonmacnoise. Birr Castle, known for its gardens and science heritage, is about 30 minutes south and works well for travelers wanting a fuller day of Offaly and Shannon-region history. You can string these together in one itinerary, on your own schedule and without backtracking.
Clonmacnoise sits roughly in the middle of the country in County Offaly, about 130 km (81 miles) from Dublin and around 82 km (51 miles) from Galway, with Athlone just 21 km (13 miles) away as the nearest town. On a private transfer, travel time from Dublin generally runs around 1.5-2 hours depending on traffic and route, letting you reach this rural site directly rather than juggling connections.
Most visitors spend around 1.5 to 2.5 hours at Clonmacnoise, enough time to explore the ruins, round tower, and cemetery, and take in the exhibits at the Visitor Centre. It is an easy stop to build into a fuller day without feeling rushed, especially when paired with time along the River Shannon.
Clonmacnoise sits off the main rail and bus corridors, so public transport options are limited and often require multiple connections through Athlone. A private transfer takes you directly to the site, with a driver who waits while you explore rather than working around fixed timetables, making it a far more comfortable way to reach a rural site like this.
The site centers on the ruined Clonmacnoise Cathedral alongside Temple Doolin, Temple Hurpan, and Temple Melaghlin, plus a round tower and a picturesque cemetery. The on-site Visitor Centre displays historic artefacts, including the 9th-century Cross of the Scriptures, one of Ireland's finest surviving high crosses, and provides background on the monastery's rise and eventual decline after being looted in 1552.
Founded as a simple wooden church by Saint Ciaran in the 6th century, Clonmacnoise grew into one of Ireland's most important monasteries, drawing scholars from across Europe and a community of craftsmen renowned for metalwork and stone carving. Few sites pack this much layered history into one visit: a round tower still standing watch, weathered high crosses, and a cemetery overlooking the River Shannon. It is one of the best places in Ireland to feel the scale of early Christian and monastic life in a single stop.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
