Why Choose a Private Tour in Ireland?

No need to keep pace with others — your journey moves at your rhythm. Whether you’re looking for a slow adventure where each moment is savoured or challenging yourself to summit each peak, private travel means keeping pace with only yourself.

Travel only with those who matter most — family, close friends, or your special someone.

Whether you’re planning a family adventure, looking to spend time with a friend you haven’t seen in too long, sharing a dream holiday with your partner or celebrating new beginnings, the ability to travel with your own group means you can spend time with those who matter the most to you.

From quality time to grand adventures, big celebrations to meaningful bonding, make it private travel options mean you’ll travel with your nearest and dearest on a tried-and-tested itinerary catered for you.

Choose the dates that fit with your life. Whether you have a specific week in mind, key life events you’re working around, or there’s a season in which you really want to explore Ireland, private tours work with your schedule, meaning you’ll travel on your preferred dates.

Want to start later in the day, upgrade your accommodation, speed things up or slow things down? Private tours make it easy. While private departures don’t allow full customisation – you’ll need to work with a custom travel designer to plan a bespoke tour for that – private tours offer a degree of flexibility.

Whatever your interests or preferences, a private tour, led by your own guide, allows for additional flexibility that isn’t always possible on group trips.

History buffs, food lovers, or avid hikers — whatever your passion, private tours can highlight the things that inspire you most.

From bird-watching to folklore, castle ruins to the Irish language, geology to herbology to chocolate tasting, everyone has their own passions and interests and diverse reasons for visiting a particular place.

It’s your holiday, so it should reflect what you love. Private tours allow you to mould your trip to fit your passions, and more one-on-one time with your guide lets you really delve into the things that make you tick.

Enjoy flexibility without the higher cost of designing an itinerary entirely from scratch. While small group guided tours are generally the most cost-effective option, booking a private departure is really the ideal balance between a group tour and a custom trip, and your wallet will thank you.

Benefit from a well-loved Wilderness itinerary — designed by experts, refined by feedback, and beloved by past guests — with the added bonus of privacy, flexibility and personalisation.
