How much does a private Ireland tour cost?
Unlike a fixed-price coach tour, a private tour is built around you, so the price reflects the trip you choose. Wild Way Tours publishes clear per-person prices for its most popular 8-day tour:
| Group size | 3-star / guesthouse & B&B | 5-star luxury hotels |
|---|---|---|
| 2 passengers | from €3,599 pp | from €4,499 pp |
| 4 passengers | from €2,699 pp | from €3,899 pp |
| 6 passengers | from €1,799 pp | from €3,399 pp |
Prices are per person for an 8-day tour, excluding flights and gratuities, as published on the Wild Way Tours Tour Packages page. Group size and hotel choice change the total — contact us for a bespoke quote.
Why group size changes the price so much
A private tour is priced around one vehicle and one driver-guide, and that cost is shared by everyone travelling. The more people in your group, the lower the price per person — which is why a 5-star tour falls from €4,499 pp for two to €3,399 pp for six, and a 3-star tour drops as low as €1,799 pp. Travelling as a family or with friends is the single biggest way to lower the per-person cost.

Is a private tour worth the cost?
For most visitors from the USA, yes. You travel on your own schedule with a local expert who tailors each day and takes you off the beaten path. Read why a private driver-guide is the most relaxed way to see Ireland.
