A small-group experience for curious travellers drawn to Ireland’s ancient Celtic roots. Explore Galway at an easy pace, with time to ask questions, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy personalised recommendations for the rest of your trip, tailored to your interests. Step into a city where the Otherworld still feels close. As we walk, you’ll hear Irish storytelling in its natural habitat: myths and legends woven into real places—whispers carried by the river, echoes in medieval stone, and memories that cling to old walls. Meet the Gods and Goddesses behind the lore, trace the symbols locals still recognise, and see how Galway’s living folklore sits right alongside its creative, modern spirit. You’ll finish not just having “seen” Galway, but feeling why it’s vibrant, rebellious and unlike anywhere else in Ireland: full of stories, characters, and traditions that are still very much alive.

Susan_C, May 2026

A pleasurable tour

The Lally buses have toilets...yay. on this tour, we had stops every 30 minutes to first a castle, then the Aillwee Caves, then the Cliffs of Moher. Then a short drive to Doolin for a fabulous lunch. Our driver, John B., was wonderful and shared many facts, history, local info, etc

Seamus was a great tour...

Seamus was a great tour guide, giving lots of historical background as well as plenty of personal anecdotes as we travelled between stops during the tour through Connemara. While there was a schedule, the tour didn't feel particularly rushed, so we were able to take in each stop at a reasonable pace. Definitely would recommend!

Please take this tour….. to meet Dave.

The tour was well planned. Tour guide Dave was outstanding. He is entertaining and an amazing coordinator. Thank u Dave. I was travelling solo but bus had 26-28 people. Large group but Dave single handedly coordinated the drop off and pick ups with so much clarity and constant communication always given in advance multiple times. He was funny, kept us engaged, made us laugh sing and occupied with information on Ireland, its folklore and traditions. Would recommend this to every person visiting Galway. I had a blast.

Bucket list experience

Comfortable drive through amazing landscape. Driver was extremely knowledgeable, a true irish gentleman indeed. Well calculated photo stops and punctuality through the experience. (Make sure you arrive early to be able to sit together and occupy the front seats for a better view and audio.) Thank you again!

We absolutely loved this...

We absolutely loved this tour! It was very easy to find the coach and Pavel was there really early. The coach was quite comfortable all things considered and the commentary was good. The ferry to Inisheer was packed and we had to sit inside but had some Guinness on the way. Inisheer was such a cool experience. We went on a horse and carriage ride at additional cost and stopped for lunch at Tigh Ned before taking the ferry back. We had better seats for this one at the back of the boat. We stayed on after Doolin for the most breathtaking view of the Cliffs of Moher. We had gorgeous weather that day. We next went up to the Cliffs of Moher visitor centre. I preferred them from the sea. We made a weird pit stop on the way back to Galway but overall this was our favourite day trip of our time in Ireland.

Five stars: spectacular cliffs, perfect weather, and an easy day from Galway

Five stars: spectacular cliffs, perfect weather, and an easy day from Galway We took this Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher day cruise on 9 May 2026 and had perfect weather, which made the experience even more memorable. Blue sky, bright sun, and enough breeze to remind us we were off the west coast of Ireland. The ferry ride itself was a highlight. The boat made a relatively close, slow pass by the Cliffs of Moher, giving us plenty of time to take photos and really appreciate the scale of the cliffs from the water. It was awesome and did not feel rushed. On Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands, there were plenty of sightseeing options. We chose to walk to the Black Fort and back, and we were so glad we did. The Black Fort felt like a hidden gem, with dramatic ocean views and an unforgettable landscape of limestone rock. On the way back, we still had time for lunch at Bayview Restaurant and sweater shopping at Aran Sweater Market, which made the island visit feel relaxed instead of hurried. This was a terrific full-day experience from Galway: scenic, well-paced, and especially memorable if you get lucky with the weather.

Connemara, Cong & Kylemore Abbey Tour from Galway

Ger_W, May 2026

A wonderful way to see Ireland

This was a delightful way to see Ireland and to spend a day. We were lucky to have Tommy as driver and guide. Tommy had great easy control and we felt safe with him. His stories had value and were delivered with humour and style. I am Irish and enjoyed all the history, learnt new snippets. I have a greater respect for Galway and Ireland as a result of our lovely guide. We all felt cared for. A superb way to make friends and see the country. Connemara was spectacular. Those mountains can only be appreciated by being there. I found it very useful that Tommy suggested which order to view Kylemore. Gardens, House, Restaurant, this worked very well for me.

A Must Do Tour!

An amazing experience! DC is full of fascinating information regarding Ireland’s history. He did a wonderful job tailoring our tour and made all the right stops. Hazel Mountain Chocolate factory was interesting and the chocolate is out of this world. The Cliffs of Moher were an incredible site. Would highly recommend this wonderful tour!

A full day of beautiful sights

We had an amazing day on this tour. First starting out with our wonderful guide Pawel who was funny and informative all throughout the journey. The ride on the countryside and then getting to hop on a ferry and explore the smallest Aren island, then explore the cliffs from below and then above. It was all amazing! Highly recommend!

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!

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.
