Independent Cliffs of Moher Half Day Trip from Galway

I went with my sister...

I went with my sister while we were visiting from the USA, and we had the absolute best time! Our tour guide was incredible and gave great commentary during the 1.5 hour drive to the Cliffs of Moher. The bus was high quality, and the drive went so smooth. I could not recommend this enough!

Small Group Kylemore Abbey, Sheepdog Demo & Connemara Tour

DaNetta_F, Sep 2026

A must see

Kylemore Abby and its gardens are straight out of a fairy tale! Breathtakingly beautiful! The sheepdog demonstration was outstanding. Joe was phenomenal in his humorous presentation but the puppies, sheep and dogs took first place! I would advise if you sit in the back of the bus the step is easy to miss, be careful!

Wonderful trip to the Aran Islands and cliffs of Moher

This was a truly amazing trip. We were given plenty of opportunity to view the cliffs of Moher on deck even though we were seated downstairs The island bus trip was really informative with stunning views and we were given an insight on the history and current society and economic progress of the Island Thoroughly recommended

I loved my time on this...

I loved my time on this tour. The stop we made by the lake with sheep on the sides was one of my favorites of the whole trip. I also appreciated our tour guide for helping us choose between the park and the abbey, which was one of my biggest questions getting on the bus. Great views and stops along the way, and well timed at each.

The highlight of our trip to Ireland

This tour was fantastic and our guide Shane made it so! His stories and wealth of knowledge about the whole region made the day fly by and gave us such a real picture of Irish history in the region. I learned so much and feel that this tour was truly one of the most memorable parts of this, our first trip to Ireland. The music he played during the trip was well curated and added to the overall feel as well. Kylemore castle gardens and the entire estate were beautiful. As per Shane’s suggestion we toured the gardens first. There is time to get a lunch there but we likely spent a bit extra time in the garden (being amateur gardeners ourselves) so getting through the castle itself didn’t leave us enough time to get to the chapel and mausoleum which was a little disappointing. However that doesn’t diminish the overall trip for me at all. Shane shared his personal connection to the castle/abbey which very much appreciated. He kept the tour on schedule and gave us a day we will never forget. Thank you Shane! Hope you are able to visit Newfoundland sometime! I think you would love it

Anthony as our driver he was absolutely the best

We had Anthony as our driver he was absolutely the best. Funny, informative, and extremely personable. As a prior Limo driver in NY City I can tell you that Anthony was one of the best drivers I've seen. If you book with Viator hopefully you will get Anthony. Enjoy your Holiday in Canada Anthony.

12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour

Paul_C, Aug 2026

Cliffs of Moher

This tour was a comfortable bus ride to the Cliff's....it's a 2 hour ride and the driver was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We drove through some wonderful landscapes and we must admit that we were very lucky as sightseeing at the Cliff's can be a crap shoot. The day was perfect for seeing everything and while the wind was howling, it was a great experience. On the way back to Galway, we stopped in Doolin for lunch at McGann's Pub and then back to Galway....great time and once again, bring rain gear and dress appropriately.

Aran Island, Cliffs of Moher & Cruise tour from Galway. Guided.

Grant_H, Aug 2026

Three ways to discover Moher area in one tour.

A really sensational tour - the perfect way to takes in three "must-sees" - the Island, the cliffs from below and the cliffs from above. The driver was a terrific guy and added a lot to the experience - very witty, knowledgeable and not overly narrative. Pro-tip! - I asked which way the boat glides by the cliffs and grabbed a seat - top-deck and on the right hand side, not adjacent to the railing (late -comers congregate there and block you). You'll thank me for this.

One of the best!

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.
