Galway to Aran Islands & Cliffs of Moher Day Tour & Cliffs Cruise

Katherine_K, Apr 2026

Our driver, Pavel, was very interesting and informative as he took us to Doolin and the ferry and back to the Cliffs of Moher and thru the Burren. He arranged for a horse and cart ride around Inishmire, which was delightful. We had a great day on this tour!

Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour

Matthew_S, Apr 2026

Highly recommend! Informative, fun, and flexible

This tour was well-planned and well-executed. The guide, Shane, was knowledgeable and flexible. He shifted the order of the tour to avoid bad whether at the Cliffs of Moher and took us to an additional stop along the Doolin coast when we were running ahead of schedule. You will have the option to tour a cave as well, which is an additional €12. Highly recommend this experience!

Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway

Brenda_S, Apr 2026

Great day!

What a wonderful day spent learning about the Burren, the Cliffs and a bit of Irish history. Gary, our driver, made you feel like you were on a personalized tour as he told us about the history of the area, answered any questions we had, told stories about the area and gave us plenty of background information to better understand what we were seeing - all with a sense of humor and a glint in his eye. The stops were grand and we had plenty of time at each of them. We were lucky and got to sit in the front row of the bus and Gary gave my son plenty of information on pubs for music and dining - all were spot on! Take this tour, you won’t regret it! Go even on the rain! It was raining when we headed out but cleared up for a wonderful experience of seeing the. Loyd’s lift to blue sky’s at the cliffs.

Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour

Thomas_J, Mar 2026

Great trip with stunning scenery

Tommy was a great tour guide who gave a lot of information whilst driving through the wonderful scenery. The burren, cliffs of moher and wild Atlantic way were all stunning. I thought the Arran islands were a bit dull though and we spent far too long there imho. Some additional comments: - bus is large so doesn’t stop for photo opportunities along the way (does mean it has a toilet though) - the bus tour on inis more is not worth the money (15 euros to see what can easily walk to). Best bet is to rent a bike.

Ashley_A, Mar 2026

Incredible Day Thanks to John!!

We had one full day in Galway, and our tour guide, John M., created the perfect route that allowed us to see everything we wanted—and so much more. He gave us plenty of time at each stop while still getting us to the sheepdog demonstration right on time, and gave us the freedom to explore and enjoy the day at our own pace. He also made the driving portions incredibly enjoyable with engaging conversation and fascinating insights about every place we passed through. As a local, he shared so much rich history and knew all the best routes, which allowed us to make the absolute most of our day. After getting to know us, he even customized parts of the tour and took us to spots we never would have discovered on our own. It was truly the highlight of our trip—we ended the day feeling like we had experienced a genuine and complete sense of Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and The Burren. He also took so many amazing photos that we’ll cherish for a lifetime and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!!

Connemara Day Trip Including Leenane Village and Kylemore Abbey from Galway

Jordan_J, Mar 2026

A beautiful drive to a beautiful destination

The trip from Galway through Connemara to Kylemore was extremely picturesque. Kylemore Abbey was definitely worth the visit. I loved all our tour guide’s insights, though too many of the things pointed out seemed to be on the driver’s side of the bus. Overall I felt in good hands. The bus was new and the sensors kept going off, I hope they find a way to turn those off as all the beeps were pretty annoying and obviously the driver was as far from the edge of the road as he could be, so all the tree branches and bushes near the narrow road were making it go off all the time. Obviously not his fault, just a bother. My only complaint is that our guide gave us a basic run down of what order we should do kylemore in, but didn’t point out specifically that the restaurant is outside the gates, and we went to eat in the middle of our visit, but worried they wouldn’t let us back in as we had already given our ticket stub and did not have receipts like those purchasing tickets on site. Luckily they did! Though the first lady seemed like she was not inclined to.

We had so much fun on our tour with Sean and Nina. We loved visiting many iconic spots in Galway and we even got to hear some live music! Sean shared so much history and information about Galway with many funny anecdotes and stories. The food and drink choices were absolutely delicious. We left the tour completely stuffed and happy. They also gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our time in Galway.

Small Group - Cliffs Cruise and Aran Islands in a Day from Galway

Janna_B, Oct 2025

Great Experience

This was a great tour and experience. Was great to get to see the cliffs from the sea! Our guide Shawn was great. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight into the country and this area. There are lots of options for tours and I’m so glad we went with the one going to rhe Aran Islands. YOU MUST go the horse drawn carriage ride on Ishineer island. They are given by locals who love on the island and the experience of learning from the locals is so important! Highly recommend for couples, families or even solo travelers.

Independent Cliffs of Moher Half Day Trip from Galway

Hannah_H, Oct 2025

Worth It!

Loved this experience and it was well worth the price (which was very reasonable). You get on a smaller bus which I prefer. It was clean and the driver was talented at navigating the narrow roads. We felt totally safe on our trek to and from the cliffs. The tour guide/driver provides a little of detail of the surrounding areas on the way there and clearly outlines expectations with timing and safety at the cliffs. Plenty of time to view the cliffs, the stores and enjoy yourself. Loved this half day trip!

Small Group Kylemore Abbey, Sheepdog Demo & Connemara Tour

Amelia_K, Oct 2025

I'd go again!

I went on this tour with a friend and we truly had the best time - it was the highlight of a perfect week in Ireland and we cant wait to go back. We were lucky and the weather was perfect. But we were also lucky to have Richie Forde as our tour guide. He is a wealth of information about the geography, culture, and animals of the area - and he was truly bubbling with passion and joy for this beautiful picturesque place he gets to call home. The castle was beautiful and fun to explore. The sheep dog experience was spectacular. The dog, Rex, was such good dog. The handler was wildly attractive. Everyone was very approachable for questions. Definitely worth it. I would go on the tour a second time if/when I go back and because I'm sure I'd learn more every time - especially with Richie as our guide. Between the entertaining and informative nature of his stream of conscious storytelling and the breathtaking views, nobody could be bored.

Our driver Pavel was...

Our driver Pavel was excellent. He had a humerus delivery and made the history of the country fun to learn. I appreciated the concern he had for his passengers’ wellbeing. The tour quide on the island was a local resident and he was also well versed in the history of island. The boat ride and tour guide of the Cliffs of Mohr was well run and engaging . It was a well organized and enjoyable day.
