Eyre Square
At the very heart of Galway lies Eyre Square, officially known as John F. Kennedy Memorial Park — a gathering place for locals and visitors for centuries. Surrounded by cafés, shops, and historic buildings, it's the gateway to Shop Street, the main pedestrian shopping area.
The Latin Quarter
The cobbled lanes of the Latin Quarter — Quay Street, Cross Street, Kirwan's Lane — are lined with colourful shopfronts, independent restaurants, and traditional pubs. St Nicholas's Church, completed in 1320, is where Christopher Columbus is said to have worshipped in 1477.
Galway Cathedral
Despite being relatively young — constructed in the 1960s — Galway Cathedral is one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in the city. Its striking architecture combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Romanesque elements, with stunning stained-glass windows and intricate carved woodwork.
The Aran Islands
There are three islands — Inis Oírr, Inis Mór, and Inis Meáin. Inis Mór attracted international attention recently as a filming location for the Banshees of Inisherin.

We had the pleasure of Radek from Easy Transfer providing us transport from Dublin to Adare, then from Adare to Dublin the following day. It was 4 of us total with carry on bags. Everything fit great, we had ample room. He provided waters and outlets for charging phones. He was fantastic and a great person to hire if you need any sort of transport around Ireland. Thanks!

I highly recommend Radek for anyone looking for a private driver who truly knows Ireland! He is personable, easy to talk to, and offers great service. I booked the trip and our plans changed last minute since we had an opportunity to see the Cliffs of Moher earlier than expected, so he completely redesigned our trip to Galway on the fly. He took us to the incredible Poulnabrone Dolmen and the Aillwee Cave, providing context and stories that brought the landscape to life. He is an exceptionally safe driver who pays attention to the small things. After hearing my husband mention he liked "gas water," at our next stop he went out of his way to have it ready for him. Booking with Radek was a phenomenal experience from start to finish, thank you so much and when we’re in Ireland again we’ll reach out!

Radek gave me and my family with kid professional service. We travelled from Dublin airport to Cork city centre with lots of luggages in a minivan Dodge, car was very comfortable. He is always friendly and smiling which helps ease our nurves when we first arrived here in Ireland. I will recommend him to any of my friends and if they with family also.

Radek, was stellar! Our flight arrived early and we thought we would have to wait almost an hour because of the time we told him to pick us up. No way! When we walked out of the baggage area there he was!! Early!! He had checked our flight number and knew the time we told him was too late. So grateful as we were traveling with a one year old. That’s service!!His car was stellar too and came with a car seat for the baby. Radek made our hour drive to Galway from Shannon Airport comfortable and interesting. The time flew! We look forward to the return trip with him to Shannon Airport in a few days. Mrs. Bowditch from Virginia, USA

Wonderful experience working with Tomas and Easy Transfer! Reservation through Viator 6 wks prior was a snap. Confirmed flt info same day via email. Upon clearing Passport Control & securing our luggage, walked through the doors into Shannon and was immediately greeted by a friendly smiling Tomas and his sign bearing my name. We shook hands, exchanged introductions and walked a few short steps directly to our waiting chariot…(OK, a very comfortable van with Captain’s chairs for us) easily carrying our 2 wks of luggage. The 70 minute journey to Galway flew by with great conversations of our respective international travels. His via shipping & ours on cruise lines mostly. A smooth and pleasurable experience that I highly recommend. You’d be indeed fortunate to meet our new friend Tomas!

Radek was terrific helping to get a group of 6 adults and 2 children from Dungarvan to the Clayton Hotel in Dublin. Based on research of prices and reviews and response to questions Easy Transfer Ireland was the way to go. They were early for pickup and anticipated needing a larger second vehicle to accommodate the luggage, strollers car seats etc.- I highly recommend using this company!

I had a short notice change in itinerary, adding a quick business trip in the Netherlands to the end of family holiday in the Shannon/Limerick area. I booked Easy Transfer Ireland services the morning of my departure to get from Shannon Airport to Dublin. Radek made the cumbersome itinerary change simple and pleasant. He was very professional, accommodating and friendly, going out of his way to provide exceptional service. I found Easy Transfer Ireland through a quick Google search, scan of reviews and pricing. They were the most reasonably priced, by far, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the company and will use them for future business and personal trips.

We had a great experience with Radek from Easy Transfer! He was very quick and responsive, even though we had a major change in plans.

We had a superior experience with Easy Transfer Ireland. Radek picked us up from the airport without issue and drove us 45 mins to what we thought was our destination. We arrived and realized the booking address was incorrect and in fact we needed to drive to another town, 90min away. Radek took us to the second destination without hesitation. We were grateful for his patience and kindness, and for the ease and comfort of the service as a whole.

Thank you for making our trip from Shannon to Dublin such a pleasant experience. Our driver, Pat, was on-the-dot prompt in picking us up, and was a delightful conversationalist along the way, sharing history, landmarks, things to do and see next time, and his experiences in school being required to learn the Irish language himself. AND he dropped us off in time to watch the Limerick vs Clare hurling match (an addictive sport we’ve recently discovered) on tv at a pub near our Dublin hotel. Thank you so much for the ride and the driver!Valerie LeGault

We had an amazing trip with Radek taking us from Killarney to Galway, then to the Dublin Airport. He was on time, helped us with our bags, and got us to where we needed to go safely and quickly while giving us great conversation along the way. We stopped at the Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands on the way to Galway, and Radek walked us to the best spots, took photos of us and filled us in on lots of fun facts and insights into things only a local to the area could tell you. He also suggested a farmers market in Limerick on the way, which was an unplanned stop but the coffee and breakfast was some of the best (plus we still arrived early!) We will definitely use Easy Transfer again whenever we’re in Ireland. You should book with them too!
