  Asked on September 21st, 2026

  We would like to know if we could start the tour in Galway as opposed to Dublin. So we would miss day 1. I also would like to speak with someone regarding the tour.

    Due to the logistical and operational requirements of the tour, we're unable to offer the option of joining at a location other than the advertised departure point. Although it may sometimes be possible to join en route, we cannot guarantee that this will be feasible on the day, as operational arrangements can change and alternative pick-up points can create additional challenges for the tour. For this reason, we ask that all passengers join the tour at the original departure point.

  Asked on September 19th, 2026

  I am interested in this tour as a solo traveler. I noticed that the option for solo traveler is a bed-and-breakfast. Does that mean that solo travelers will be staying at completely different accommodations and the rest of the group? Since this tour starts so early on the first day, I was also curious if you had a hotel recommendation nearby that would be near the starting point to stay at the night before. Lastly, are there any limitations on luggage size?

    We use a wide variety of suppliers for B&B and hotels. Being a solo traveller wouldn't really affect this, rather it is what rooms we happen have available set aside for our passengers to use. Generally passengers on the bus are located in quite a variety of different locations.

  We are in a double room and the bed is very small for two people. Can we arrange to have twin beds on our stay in Killarney for the next three nights, as it's not very comforyable being in such a small bed.

  VERY interested in this tour, hoping you get back to me ASAP. I found this tour AFTER booking the Skellig michaels tour on the 20th (8am). is it still possible to do this tour AND the skellig michaels tour on the 20th?? they dont do refunds, unfortunately.

    On Day 4 of the tour (20th August), the tour arrives at the Skellig Experience Visitor Centre at around 1.00pm and departs from there at 1.45pm, so a boat tour to Skellig Michael would not be possible, I'm afraid.
    
    If you are still interested in our tour, we currently have 2 seats left for the departure on 17th August.

    Have you booked the experience that spends 2.5 hours on Skellig Michael? You would be welcome to take the tour and miss the planned itinerary Day 4 to do your own thing and re join the tour on Day 5, this would be absolutely fine. We would just ask you let your driver-guide know of your plans on Day 1 of the tour. You would have to make your own way to and from Portmagee (depending on the time your Skellig Michael tour departs at), so I would recommend researching this in advance.

    The tour is expected to return at around 7:00pm, but this can vary a little, depending on conditions on the day. To keep things stress-free, we recommend allowing plenty of time before any onward travel or bookings.

    Is there anyway that Rabbies has knowledge of where we can store the meds or even other suggestions. Does Rabbie's have an office in Dublin that has a refrigerator that we can use?
  • 

    Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written August 2026

    We do not have an office in Dublin, no. Can you bring these meds with you on tour and store them at each new hotel/B&B location? If you want to proceed with the booking, we could check with the accommodation providers that this will be possible. Your medication would not be included in your luggage allowance, this can be extra in a small bag.

  Asked on July 24th, 2026

  My son and I are traveling together and would prefer twin rooms if possible, as opposed to sharing a double bed. We are both tall, so sharing a bed is going to be quite uncomfortable. Please let me know what options we have.

  Asked on July 13th, 2026

  Our luggage is larger than your bus parameters and we are wondering if it is possible to put our belongings into smaller, soft-sided duffle bags for the bus tour and store our empty, hard-sided luggage during the tour and then retrieve it after the tour is over? If so what are the storage options and how do we go about setting this up?

  Transport

    Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    There is limited space on our mini-coaches so luggage is restricted. Each passenger is entitled to one 20kg bag, plus one small bag for personal items:
    - Your main luggage must not exceed 55cm x 45cm x 25cm (22in x 17in x 10in) in size or 20kg (44lbs) in weight. This should be one piece of luggage similar to an airline cabin bag.
    - A small bag for personal items such as a handbag, purse or small backpack. This should be small enough to fit under a standard airline seat.
    
    We wish we could let you carry more, but this is a legal requirement in place for your safety. We can refuse to carry luggage over these limits, and you may not be allowed onboard if you've not stored your excess baggage.
    
    Please ensure you can lift and carry your own luggage without assistance. Unfortunately we're not able to accommodate larger or heavier bags, please ensure you pack accordingly or store excess baggage prior to departure.
    
    When travelling with another person, if you want to combine your luggage into one larger, heavier bag, you are welcome to do that. However, it must not exceed the total weight per person combined (40kg/88lbs for two people), and you need to be able to lift this bag in and out of the boot of our mini-coach on your own. Unfortunately, our Driver Guides are unable to help with that. The boot is approximately 1 meter from the ground, so please do make sure this is possible for you and your luggage.
    
    For luggage storage options in Dublin, we recommend stasher.com and radicalstorage.com.

    Traveler•Written July 2026

    if we transfer our personal belongings into soft sided bags that do not technically meet the size parameters but are not full and can be compressed to within the size parameters, is that acceptable for the trip? Essentially what we are thinking of doing is bringing soft sided duffle bags on the bus tour, the dimensions don't exactly match your specifications, however because they do not have structure and would not be full they can be manipulated into the sizes specified when we put them into the coach storage. Does that solution work for the tour luggage parameters?
  • 

    Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    Yes, that would work if each duffel (1 per person) can fit within the space of our luggage measurements as long as the duffel doesn't weigh more than 20kg per person.

    We work with a number of different accommodation providers throughout Ireland, including hotels and B&Bs. Accommodation is allocated based on availability at the time of booking, so we're unable to advise where guests will be staying before the tour has been booked and the accommodation has been arranged.
    
    With regard to attraction admissions, entry to the Cliffs of Moher is included in the tour price.
    
    Any other optional attractions or admissions are not included and can be purchased directly upon arrival if you decide you'd like to visit them. As these admissions are managed by the individual attractions, we recommend checking their websites directly for the most up-to-date prices.
