Gotta be lucky with the weather but well worth the trip!
We went in early November and got very lucky with the unpredictable coastal weather.
It was cool but very comfortable, dry, and sunny with light to moderate winds.
FYI - we heard tour guides mention that prime Cliff viewing season tends to be between October and May. The warmer months can be quite humid and the visibility can make it near impossible to see the Cliffs.
Our driver/guide was Gary with Galway Sightseeing Tour Company. He was extremely knowledgeable and a gem of a person!
A truly great experience!

This was a lovely...
This was a lovely excursion from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher with stops at Dunguaire Castle, Ailwee Cave, Fitz Pub, and a scenic overlook of the Burren. We had some thick fog going into the day, but it resulted in some very cool moody photos and a feeling of delight when the fog cleared up in our last 10 minutes at the Cliffs of Moher. Our tour guide John B was informative as we drove along and kept us right on schedule. We made excellent time which I believe was helped by the fact we went during a less popular time (early November) which also meant we got to use a smaller bus which was faster and more nimble! The journey is lovely and I was looking out the window at the gorgeous scenery the entire time we were driving. Highly recommend!

Fantastic day with a wonderful guide
This was a highlight of our trip to Ireland this time. Mike was an absolutely fantastic guide and I learned so much. He was kind, funny, and full of so many details about the countryside, history, and the sights we passed. I can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s well organized, comfortable, and an excellent experience. Thank you, Mike!

Beautiful scenery, great guide
This tour is a must take. I wasn't sure about it when I booked since I didn't know anything about Connemara, Kylemore, or Cong, but the scenery is so beautiful and Kylemore is stunning. The whole day was a great mix of history and nature. The stop in Cong was also great - walking around the Cong Abbey ruins was so peaceful and beautiful. Mike was an excellent guide full of fun facts and laughs!

Great Day to Aran Island and the Cliffs of Moher.
A wonderful all day adventure. Bus to Doolin, then Ferry to Innis Oirr, one of the Aran Islands, mini bus (Wanderly Wagon) tour of the island up to the castle and cemetery. Learned lots about the history of the island and life there now. Then back on the Ferry for a cruise to see the Cliffs of Moher from the water, and then a trip to the Visitor’s center at the top of the Cliffs to learn how the cliffs were created and continue to change. It was a rainy afternoon but still worth the trip.

Great look at the Connemara area of Ireland
Lovely day trip to Connemara that included the Kylemore Castle Abby and gardens. The story of the Mitchell’s and their life at Kylemore as well as the eventual Abby school, was very interesting. The Irish are hearty people and this experience is evidence of this. There is a lovely gift shop and café. Our driver was great, a very safe driver with just the right amount of history and stories.

Great Journey to the Cliffs of Moher!
Thank you Mark and Lally Tours for this WONDERFUL experience! We took the train from Ennis to Galway and then joined this exciting tour! Mark was such a lighthearted and informative guide. He was also our cautious driver and gave us sooo many tidbits of information on each village we passed on our way to the Cliffs of Moher. I feel we were very lucky to visit the Cliffs with Mark on this sunny breezy day! Thank you, Mark and Lally Tours

Great day in Conamara
What a great way to spend my birthday! Puppies, beautiful scenery, and loads of Irish history, lore, and tales. Kenny made this SUCH a fun day and gave us some great recommendations for Galway too. We had the extra treat of being on the tour when the sheepdog puppies were around…only happens twice a year!! Note to Lally Tours…Kenny should be able to have a dog with him on the tour bus! :)

Alan was amazing! Truly a perfect combination of chatty but not too overwhelming. I left the trip feeling well informed on some new to me Irish history and got to enjoy some comforting dad jokes along the way. If you have Alan as your guide you are sure to enjoy your trip!

Boat ride, island visit and Cliffs view
We actually visitednboth the cliffs AND the boat ride to the island, carriage ride and lunch, as the narrower trip was not running. It was great, start to finish, and we especially enjoyed the carriage ride and the cliffs!! Patrick was an outstanding tour guide, giving us his opinions as well as the history. We heartily recommend the tour, and if one can do the longer one, even better.

Unforgettable Views of the Aran Islands & Cliffs of Mohe
An incredible way to see the West Coast! Taking the boat out to the Aran Islands gave us a fantastic look at local life and breathtaking coastal views. Seeing the Cliffs of Moher both from the water below on the cruise and from above on the cliff tops was the ultimate highlight of our trip.
A quick tip for future travelers: Be prepared for potential motion sickness! The boat ride out can get quite choppy depending on the weather, and the bus ride includes some very winding coastal roads. If you're prone to seasickness or motion sickness, definitely pack some medication or motion bands beforehand.
Overall, the tour was seamlessly organized, and our guide kept everything running smoothly while sharing great history and local lore. Highly recommended—just come prepared for the journey!

Fun experience.
Great tour that combined the City’s history and the city’s typical food culture. Jason was an enthusiastic guide who was very knowledgeable and personable. Discussions were interactive and included all the attendee's. This tour accommodates food allergies which was appreciated.

Galway is the perfect home base for exploring the Cliffs of Moher and other gems in Western Ireland, but there’s plenty to enjoy in the city itself. Galway tours show you the town’s medieval landmarks, lively Latin Quarter, and locally-loved venues for live Irish folk music. You can even opt for tours spotlighting Galway’s traditional pubs or chilling ghost stories. If you fancy getting out of the city, simply follow a guide to the seaside villages, mountainside castles, and sheep-speckled hiking trails near Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher.
