Kinsale – Ireland's Gourmet Capital on the Wild Atlantic Way
Few towns in Ireland pack as much history, beauty and culinary reputation into such a compact space as Kinsale. Nestled where the River Bandon meets the sea on the southern coast of County Cork, this medieval harbour town has been drawing visitors for centuries — and for very good reason. Whether you're heading into the city centre or using Cork as a base for exploring West Cork, Kinsale, Killarney, or the Wild Atlantic Way — you'll find no shortage of reasons to stay.

- James Fort

Charles Fort
Built in 1677, Charles Fort at Summer Cove is one of Europe's finest star-shaped military fortresses, guarding Kinsale Harbour for over two centuries. The ramparts offer sweeping sea views, and local legend speaks of the White Lady — a ghostly bride said to haunt the walls still.
Desmond Castle and the Museum of Wine
This 16th-century tower house has served as a Spanish garrison, customs house, sailors' prison and Famine workhouse. Today Desmond Castle houses the International Museum of Wine, tracing Kinsale's deep connection with the wine trade and the story of the Irish diaspora.
The Old Head of Kinsale
Thirteen kilometres south of town, this dramatic Atlantic promontory is home to a Napoleonic signal tower housing a museum dedicated to the RMS Lusitania, and the world-renowned Old Head Golf Links, where fairways run along sheer clifftops above the open ocean.
James Fort
Built in 1607 on the Castlepark peninsula directly opposite Charles Fort, James Fort rewards the short detour with fine views across the harbour. In times of conflict, an underwater chain was stretched between the two forts to scuttle enemy vessels attempting to enter.

From start to finish, this was absolutely the best transfer experience, ever! I had a response to my first inquiry almost immediately and the whole thing was booked and confirmed in record time.Radek was so lovely, patient, and perfectly willing to load/unload us and our luggage.We were VERY early, but he was ready and waiting. There was water waiting for us in the van, he waited patiently while I stopped for cash and even made an extra stop for us to pick up keys.Highly, highly, highly recommend this service.

We used EasyTransfer for both our Dublin Airport to Shannon and Shannon to Dublin Airport transfers in June 2026 — travelling as a family of two adults and a 1-year-old. Both rides were excellent.Booking was straightforward. We emailed with our flight details and they came back quickly with a fixed price and confirmation. They arranged a rear-facing child seat for our baby without any fuss, which was a huge relief since we didn't want to lug our own car seat across Europe.Driver was punctual, friendly, and professional. Met us right in front of the hotel without us even sending any instructions. The car was clean and comfortable, and the child seat was properly installed and ready to go. Wifi in the car made the long trip much better. The return trip from Shannon to Dublin was equally smooth.The fixed pricing with no surprises — tolls, fuel, parking, everything included — made it easy to budget. For a family with a small child, this was so much better than renting a car and driving on the left after a long travel day. Highly recommend for anyone doing the route, especially with kids.

Excellent. Above and beyond. Good communication by email post booking. When I learnt the morning of my flight that my 8.15am flight had been cancelled and that I was instead on the 1pm flight the same day, I immediately emailed Radek to check he could still drive me from Dublin to Killarney. He assured me he would be there personally to drive me, and he was. He’d actually had to wait over 6 hours because he’d planned his work around an earlier drop off at Dublin airport - but still he waited, and with smiles! I was so grateful to him. Thank you Radnor.

My husband and I are American, and our trip to Ireland was our first trip abroad. We planned stays in Dublin, Galway, Doolin and Dingle but knew that trying to drive ourselves in unfamiliar land and on the opposite side of the car/road than we’re used to was just going to be too much of learning curve for us. We were able to take a train from Dublin to Galway, but couldn’t find an easy way to get to the rest of our destinations lugging around our bags. Then we found Easy Transfer Ireland.Radek was our driver. He was punctual, safe, informative and fun. We had three transfers with Easy Transfer Ireland. All went smoothly and stress-free. He pointed out landmarks, answered questions and left us free to take in the beauty of the countryside. And to nap. He even stopped at one beautiful vista and took our picture. Our experience with Easy Transfer Ireland could not have been better. I highly recommend!

Easy Transfer exceeded every expectation and made our experience completely stress-free. From the very first interaction, their team was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely pleasant to work with. Communication was smooth and clear, which made coordinating everything simple and reassuring.What really stood out was their flexibility. Our schedule shifted at the last minute, and they handled the change with total ease and zero frustration. They adapted quickly and made sure everything still ran seamlessly, which we truly appreciated.The vehicle itself was spotless, comfortable, and spacious, making the ride relaxing and enjoyable. Every detail felt thoughtfully taken care of, and it showed in the overall experience. The pricing was also fantastic, offering great value for such high-quality service.Easy Transfer delivers exactly what you'd hope for and more. Reliable, accommodating, and top-notch service from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend them and look forward to using them again in the future.

This was truly the way to go for our family we were heading to Dromolond Castle from Killarney and it was recommended by our travel advisor to take a private transfer rather than take multiple trains with a small child and luggage. It was easy and gave us peace of mind so we could focus on the excitement of our trip and not add extra stress. I would highly recommend and would definitely use this company again. It was a lovely experience all around!

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.
