Top Galway Day Trips

What a great tour. Our guide, Brian, was wonderful. He picked us up in Galway and shared lots of interesting tidbits along the way to Doolin. The stop along the way was amazing (I only wish we had more time there because we loved climbing on the rocks!). Then we took a boat cruise to see the Cliffs of Moher from the water, which was so beautiful. Then we took a ferry to Inisheer. The island has rich history and beautiful views. We ate lunch on the island and took a horse carriage tour of the island. I would actually just have skipped lunch (bring something quick in your bag) and skip the horse tour for walking around the island. It's small and you get the feel of it better walking. But the carriage driver was friendly and interesting.

You can’t go wrong spending the day with Michael on this tour! My sister and I had a fantastic day riding through Galway and the little towns and countryside as well as historic stops along the way. Michael was extremely knowledgeable, fun and brought the history to life. It may seem like a long day, but it flew by. The bus was very clean and comfortable as well. Highly recommend his tour!

We had a great time visiting the Cliffs of Moher, traveling through the quaint villages and stopping at the hazelnut shop. Des was so friendly, nice and very informative. The bus stopped several times for us to great pictures. The day flew by! I would highly recommend!

This was great! Easy process and our guide, Brian, was lovely! Very knowledgeable and funny and kind, cared about us as his guests and was helpful in every way he could be on top of driving safely! It was rainy and wet and a bit cold but was still an amazing day with great views and drives.

Very nice day, nice ship, pleasant island. We spent a good amount of time to get there and back so we used it as a good day of rest other than the time on the island. Toilets were limited even while underway so be aware if you have issues. There were plenty of spots to eat and e-bikes to rent once we landed making the afternoon a lot of fun.

First of all, our driver, Mike was great! Full of information, humor but still low key. The drive was not as winding as I feared. I took a motion sickness pill before we went and I was fine. This is the only tour that gets to use the route we took!! It's exceptional! Mike called out history and information for all the villages,towns,lakes,etc we passed by. We had several photo stops. The landscape is gorgeous and ever changing. We had a 30 min stop in Clifden, which is a charming town. Beware! 30 minutes goes by faster than you think! Set an alarm for 25 min so you have time to get back to the bus! ( I admit, I was 1 and 3 min late back to the bus on both major stops, Mike was sweet about it, but a couple passengers threw daggers! Lol) I guess I was the Black Sheep of the bus! We went to Kylemore Abbey. It's a wonder! The view of the castle across the lake is the shot to beat! We had 3 hours there. Again, set your alarm for 2.5 hours to allow you time to get back to the bus. You are covering a lot of ground there! I'll keep details out so you can discover the beauty for yourself. All in all...this trip was well worth it! Highly recommend!!!

This tour saves a lot of travelling time when compared with the public transport. The coach driver pointed out important places along the way. The Cliffs and the natural beauty along the way are worth visiting for folks that come from large cities/towns. The time allowed by the operator at the Cliffs is more than sufficient to cover the entire area without rushing.

Ilt is an excellent tour, wonderful scenery, beautiful buildings, AND we were lucky with the weather. Very pleased with the welcome we received and the punctual departure. Last but not least, Mike, our driver/guide greatly enhanced our journey with just the right amount of information, given with warmth and humour.
