Our family had the absolute best experience exploring Ireland thanks to our private driver, PATRICK LARKIN. He was incredibly professional, warm, and highly intuitive to our needs. He accommodated all of our requests and gave us amazing recommendations throughout the trip. Patrick is incredibly knowledgeable about Ireland’s history, as well as current events, which added great context while exploring the country. As someone recovering from foot surgery and wearing an orthopedic boot, I was so grateful for how sensitive and helpful he was regarding my comfort and mobility. He made the entire trip smooth and stress-free. By the end of our journey, parting ways felt like saying goodbye to a dear friend. Absolutely flawless 5-star service and would specifically recommend Patrick Larkin to anyone!

Patrick is great! He helped a group of 6 of us explore the Connemara and had great recommendations and stories along the way. Would book again

Had several brilliant days with Patrick in Ireland. Not only was he knowledgeable, dependable and kind, he was always looking out for our best interest. Patrick was able to rearrange planned activities due to changing weather conditions and was flexible to work in new stops if opportunities presented themselves. Although we did not use his abilities as a golfer, he is able to arrange golf trips and even caddy on the course. We feel like we have a new friend in Ireland and highly recommend Patrick to anyone who is planning a trip.

Let me start by saying that our family of four rated our Ireland vacation a 10/10 because of Patrick. The moment he picked us up we knew we were in good hands with his welcoming personality, pristine van and appreciated amenities like water and chargers. We worked on our 5-day itinerary ahead of time, but he was flexible as we made changes during the week we were there. He was so responsive by text as well as phone, that I was able to relax ahead of the trip knowing I didn’t have to do the legwork on directions, find out about the entry fees for landmarks, or stress out about driving on the opposite side of the road. His knowledge of Ireland and its history made for a fun educational experience as we visited some of the popular landmarks as well as lesser-known ones that he shared. He personalized this trip for our family so all ages were engaged and made our anniversary celebration so special. We had so many laughs together and created lifetime memories. We will always be grateful that Patrick was recommended to us by close friends and we hope to see him soon in the States! Thank you, Patrick, it will be hard to ever top this vacation!

We cannot say enough good things about Patrick. If you are thinking of booking a private tour with him, don’t hesitate. He is a fantastic driver, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We were traveling with three generations and he was able to attend to all of our needs with ease. By day two, we felt like he was part of the family. We felt completely safe in his hands and could relax each day knowing that all we needed to do was hop in his comfortable and spacious van. We have driven ourselves around Ireland before and had a great time, but having Patrick as our driver was truly the best way to see Ireland. We couldn’t recommend him more.

Patrick was excellent for our whole trip. We could not have navigated changes in our itinerary without him, and our trip would have been much less without his guidance. He got to know us quickly and anticipated our needs brilliantly. I highly recommend him.

Patrick truly “made” our trip! Without him, we would have been focused on stressful driving (on the wrong side of the road) and missed the beautiful Irish scenery. Without Patrick, we would not have had the opportunity to hear all about the history of Ireland in real time as we drove through the country for 4 days. Without Patrick, we would have missed so many interesting locations off the beaten path. Patrick made the trip extremely relaxed and efficient. His guidance and suggestions were always excellent and in complete alignment with our pace and interests. Having Patrick as a driver is such a wonderful alternative to being shuffled around the country in a big, crowded bus. In addition to the convenience and knowledge, Patrick brings a contagious enthusiasm for Ireland that is second only to his charm and chivalrous nature. He is never late; always early and flexible around our wants and needs. Patrick was recommended to us by friends and now we can continue the recommendation by offering this ringing endorsement of Patrick Larkin who we now proudly call our friend.

Review I had the pleasure of visiting Ireland for a week with my daughter and two granddaughters in April. We traveled from Dublin to Cork to Galway and back to Dublin. Our tour guide, Patrick Larkin, was absolutely wonderful. He was very kind and personable as well as extremely knowledgeable about everything, everywhere we went. I would highly recommend him if you’re ever in Ireland and want an exceptional tour guide.

My first trip to Ireland and it was the best experience because of Ireland West Chauffeurs. Patrick is a very skilled driver and knows the history of his Ireland. He took us to places I never saw in my research. We saw places that I feel most people don’t see. We also saw the normal places as well. He knew everything about each of the places, when we stopped or as we drove the countryside. Patrick was very professional, courteous, and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to carry us around the beautiful country of Ireland. He’s a very likable person and we had a lot of fun spending time with him. He made our trip the trip of a life time. Thank you Patrick for a wonderful time and we will see you again on our next trip to Ireland. ☘️

“We have spent a few fantastic days touring around Ireland with Patrick; days full of fun, Irish good nature, and great humor.

We learned some history, seen natural wonders, and had a great time listening to awesome music.
Patrick is very easy going, caring, and funny. Looked after us like family.”

"My trip to Ireland last summer surpassed all of my expectations.


Patrick was a fabulous guide – so knowledgeable about Irish history and nature. He provided insights and experiences we would never have had without him.

Patrick was extremely flexible with our itinerary and activities. He is kind, funny and overall the best guide I have ever experienced.

Patrick made this a wonderful trip for me and my companions.

And of course, he is a fantastic driver as well! I highly recommend him and would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about my experience."

"Upon recommendation from a friend, I booked driver Patrick J Larkin of West Ireland Chauffeurs. It was my first trip to Ireland and now I’m ready to go back every year!

Patrick was the epitome of an Irish gentleman—kind, understanding, professional, flexible and always going the extra mile (literally when we had to backtrack when I left my phone at a pub!).

He was professional, anticipated our every need…I felt like a VIP!
Even more significant was that he shared his immense knowledge of his homeland and I felt as if I knew his country as my own by the end of the two weeks. The icing on the cake was his great sense of humor which filled every day with laughter. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an experience of a lifetime."
