This is my first time in Ireland, and I could not have asked for a better trip with https://www.irelanddaytrip.com/ and driver than Abdul for my introduction to being chauffeured from Galway to Belfast. I was originally going to take the train, but decided to hire a private driver instead, when I thought about the reality of being in my 50s and lugging two suitcases by myself from a train to a bus to a second train station.... and I'm so glad I did! The key points someone thinking about doing this may be wondering about - - he was on time and communicated clearly before showing up - he was both professional and helpful - he was a safe driver - he had water and snacks (both salty and chocolatey) easily available - also easily available were tissues and hand sanitizer - he asked if I needed chargers or wifi And then there are the things that may not be on everyone's list but I appreciated - he checked in with me to make sure I knew that stops for leg-stretching, a sit-down lunch if I was hungry, or spots to freshen up were available on the road multiple times - he had a great selection of music stations - he knew a lot about the areas I was traveling to and suggested many things that I hadn't done (now I need to come back again!) - he also knew history and trivia about the places were were driving through, and would make an excellent tour guide All in all I'm very glad that I decided to hire a driver/chauffeur and was lucky enough to get Abdul. I would hire him again any time - I hope he's still driving the next time I come back to Ireland!
