Private Cliffs of Moher Day Tour

Growing up in Galway has given me an intimate knowledge of the rich and vibrant history of the jewel of the west, Galway. Much like the strong currents of the River Corrib that run through it, the stories and tales of its inhabitants have flowed through my life. A family heritage of storytelling imbued me with a love for imparting a good yarn. These tours will have the history, the lore and the origins of Galway’s unique culture, from a true native Galwegian! My walking tours draw from 20 years involvement in theatre, storytelling and music. My guided jaunts around Galway are the perfect marriage of all these aspects of my life. It will become abundantly clear the joy it provides me and I aim to share this joy with my customers. If it’s the culinary delights of Galway, its medieval history, its lesser known stories or the rich musical and artistic heritage of the city you seek to learn about, I would be privileged to guide you along the way. Gaillimh Abu!

What are people saying about Galway

Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway

Lisa_M, Oct 2026

Great way to experience The Cliffs!

We were on a large bus with over 40 people on it, but the driver/Tour Guide, Patrick was so personable and entertaining, telling stories and sharing historical information, it felt like a more intimate group. All timing was very well planned and coordinated - very interesting …. Highly recommend!

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

Bev_K, Oct 2026

Great tour, terrible space for legs.

What a lovely day. Shane was fantastic! He gave us so much interesting information and history. We loved it. He had a great sense of humor and new how to relate very well with all sorts of people. A suggestion; Your coaches are terrible to travel in because there is mo room for a six foot persons legs. My husband's knees wouldn't hardly work after spending the day on the bus. Take out one complete row of seats and give each an additional 2-3 inches more of room. I would love to go on another tour with Shane, however we won't because of the lack of space for a person's legs.

Connemara Day Trip Including Leenane Village and Kylemore Abbey from Galway

Doroteja_G, Oct 2026

Amazing landscape!

We had a lovely day driving through Connemara. The AMAZING views from the bus were accompanied by lovely stops that were very well timed, giving us enough time to enjoy each place without feeling rushed. Our guide was very knowledgeable, accompanying the historical facts with lots of interesting stories and funny anecdotes. I would definitely second his recommendation for the apple pie at Kylemore Abbey! Even though the weather was a bit cranky, it provided a beautiful backdrop to the incredible views and somehow made the landscape even more atmospheric.

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.

Jenni_B, Sept 2026

We had a great day and...

We had a great day and blessed with perfect weather for mid September. Choices of bike, horse and cart or mini van to tour the island in a few hours available at the harbour. We enjoyed the banter by our driver/guide Tony who was very enthusiastic about the merits of this limestone based island. The trip back via Cliffs of Moher was spectacular and a lovely contrast to seeing them from above. My daughter and I enjoyed this trip immensely.

Linda_K, Sept 2026

Wonderful day to the Cliffs of Moher

The bus was clean and arrived on time. The driver, Mark, was a great, safe driver and guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and Irish history. The tour was have been pretty boring without him! The drive was lovely. We enjoyed learning about the areas we're driving through. The cliffs were beautiful, but shrouded in clouds for most of our time there. Unfortunately the hiking paths were closed. We really enjoyed our tour! Mark was really fantastic!

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

cailin_r, Sept 2026

Fun, in spite of weather cancellation.

This was a super fun day! We happened to be on this tour on a rare day with rough seas. The ferry ride to the Aran Islands was very exciting and very well conducted by the crew. We had a lovely tour by horse and cart. The cruise to the Cliffs of Moher had to be canceled. Since we were warned in advance, no refund was given. That being said, we got extra time on top of the cliffs, not the same, but still good. The wind was impressive. Take a raincoat and rain pants.

Terry_M, Sept 2026

Wonderful Tour!!

Our party of 6 thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our driver/guide, Alan, was fantastic... gave us plenty of information but not too much. We took the horse & cart "tour" of the island - super fun. It is covered and has soft sides that can totally enclose the cart if necessary. Our driver, Eanna, was terrific! The Cliffs of Moher from the sea is a spectacular experience - a must do!! Be prepared though! 1. It's a 10 hour day 2. There's a long drive on a big bus 3. If you get motion sickness at all, take plenty of dramamine. It was not a particularly stormy day (it was rainy and windy off and on) but the 25 min boat ride to Inisheer Island was rough!! Stay outside where you can get fresh air and wind in your face 4. You only have 2 hours on the island, so choose your activities wisely!

Connemara, Cong & Kylemore Abbey Tour from Galway

Andrea_F, Aug 2026

Great tour. ...

Great tour. Amazing tour guide. Very funny, friendly, competent. Connemara is the place where you'd best sit in a bus to get a good view over the countryside. Driving your own car is good and all, but it' just more enjoyable to be taken to the best places without having your eyes glued on the road. This has been my second tour through Connemara. You learn something new everytime. 10/10 recommend.
