I had a pleasure to work with Glynns Coaches and I would highly recommend them. Everything was extremely punctual and well organised throughout. The coaches were spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well maintained, which made a real difference on a long tour. A special thank you to our drivers, John, Trev and Donought — all very professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I can confidently recommend this company and really hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again in the future!

We had a blast! Donough, our driver, was very insightful, kind and considerate. He, like I’m sure the other drivers as well are patient and supportive of those on their coaches and make all the effort necessary to ensure a smooth but also exciting tour. Truly, our drive around the country side was the highlight of our family trip. Through narrow passes and busy streets there were no issues at all. The busses provided comfortable seating and amazing views and sight lines. The suggestions he gave made our trip fun and unique. Every question we had was answered with grace and brilliance. Glynns Coaches of Innis could not be praised enough by the lot of us. Thank you for making our family trip to Ireland grand!

Our driver, Trevor, was AMAZING. He went above and beyond for our family and took the time to get to know all of us. Very knowledgable, kind, and patient with the kids. The best bus tour any of us have ever taken :). Thanks Trev!

Traveling along the Wild Atlantic Way with The Ennis Sisters, Shane, Robert and Eddie, and our wonderful WAMT group in this luxurious coach made the experience even more unforgettable. Beyond navigating the 😳😳😳 narrow Irish roads with incredible skill, safety, and care, Donough was warm and welcoming, funny, and very professional. The coach itself on its inaugural ride was exceptionally comfortable, allowing us to fully relax and soak in the breathtaking Irish landscapes along the way. A wonderful way to experience Ireland! Highly recommend Glynns Coaches for anyone traveling around Ireland — it will be worry free and enjoyable!

We had excellent service with Glynns Coaches (4/23/26 - 4/30/26). The bus was ultra deluxe and comfortable. I appreciated that seat belts were available to use. Our driver, Dave, was the absolute best!!! He made our first trip to Ireland so much fun! He safely and smoothly drove us to our destinations each day. He got us where we needed to be on time and avoided crowds. He was so enjoyable to listen to along the way with his humor, storytelling and singing. He was patient, kind and very knowledgeable about the territory. It was a really positive experience! Overall, I would highly recommend him as your tour guide with Glynns Coaches!

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent family trip to Ennis, Ireland through Harp & Eagle this last week in April! I can’t say enough good things about our bus driver, Dave Culligan, who made us feel safe and comfortable throughout our entire journey. He took us to many points of interest near and far, with great tips about where to go and what to do. He navigated tricky roads with ease and told us jokes and tidbits all along the way about the local history and culture. His humor added to each daily adventure and his musical talent was such a wonderful surprise – the man sounds JUST like Johnny Cash! I couldn’t get enough. We’ll never forget his caring, kind soul and hope he has many more prosperous years escorting groups in the land he knows and loves.

I just wanna say a huge “Thank You” to Dave C (bus driver)! What a wonderful man! We had him all week on our stay in Ennis and his knowledge, jokes, information about the country, and singing made our trip so enjoyable! Ask for Dave C - you won’t regret it!

Very clean, comfortable bus navigated by an expert driver despite the bus being quite large on winding roads with oncoming traffic. It is always a relief to return our rental car and hop onto a Glynns bus! We have traveled with Glynns five times over the past five years, and every trip has been wonderful. Windows are clean - allowing us to admire the spectacular countryside we are driving through, temperature inside the bus is comfortable, and our driver has become "part of our tour group" thanks to his kindness, helpfulness, and sense of humor.

Liam King from a company called Wild Atlantic Music Tours here. We have been working with Glynns for a few years now. I highly recommend Glynns Coaches. Absolutely fantastic service. Top of the range coaches and extremely skillful, friendly & professional drivers. They are always very accommodating and go the extra mile for their clients. Anyone looking for transport for small or big tours , I would recommend using Glynns as they are the best around. 5/5
