DM Executive Line takes care of the Dublin to Galway leg so you don’t have to think about it. You’ll travel in a Mercedes-Benz with a certified professional driver - met at your hotel reception, luggage handled, and delivered to your destination door-to-door.
A few things that make this transfer stand out:
Your chauffeur meets you at your hotel reception, helps with luggage, and takes you to your destination. The car fits 2 carry-on bags and 2 checked suitcases, or up to 3 medium-sized suitcases. Infant seats are available on request, as are child seats. Public transport alternatives are available nearby if you need them. Suitable for all fitness levels.
This is a private tour.
Galway is a working city that happens to be one of the best places in Ireland for live trad music, arts, and food. The city centre is medieval in layout - narrow laneways that cars can’t navigate - so give your driver the exact address and they’ll figure out the approach. Most accommodation in the centre is a short walk from where the vehicle can get to.
The 2h 30m journey from Dublin gives you a decent afternoon arrival. The Salthill Promenade, 10 minutes west of the city centre, is a flat 2 km walk along the bay to a pier with an old saltwater pool - an easy way to shake off the journey before dinner.
For dinner, Ard Bia at Nimmo on Quay Street is the room that locals go back to - locally-sourced menu that changes with the market, upstairs dining room, and worth booking ahead in summer. An Púcán is another local favourite - seafood-leaning with bread that makes an impression.
The Aran Islands are the most common day trip from Galway. The ferry goes from Rossaveal, 40 minutes west - Inis Mór is an hour’s crossing, Inis Oírr is 40 minutes. Build a full day around it and don’t book a fixed return time; the sea makes its own schedule.
