Top Galway Day Trips

Our travel guide Sean made the whole trip worthwhile. He told us the entire history of Ireland in the most entertaining way. Just listening to him was worth the price.It doesn’t matter whether it’s rain or shine, the trip was worth it. Even in the rain, Conamara was beautiful, as was Kylemore Abby It was pouring rain all day and we had the best time!

Our tour guide/driver Gary was super knowledgeable and welcoming, and kept us expertly on time. There are several stops on this tour and we had more than enough time at the Cliffs. Thankfully we went on a beautiful day; I imagine this could be a disappointing and long trip if the weather is bad. But if you’re in Galway looking for a way to see the surrounding area, this is the best you can hope for.

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!

Great tour guide who was very patient with annoying passenger who didn't pay attention to what he was saying & asked too many questions about things he already gave information about. Unfortunately it was foggy weather, so the views were not as clear as we would have liked, but they were still amazing and beautiful.

We had a great time visiting the Cliffs of Moher, traveling through the quaint villages and stopping at the hazelnut shop. Des was so friendly, nice and very informative. The bus stopped several times for us to great pictures. The day flew by! I would highly recommend!

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Ireland. Connemara, Cong and Kylemore Abbey were all breathtaking, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our guide and chauffeur. He was a genuine local with an incredible knowledge of Irish history, culture and everyday life. He answered every question thoughtfully and spoke with honesty, humour and obvious pride in his country. One of the best moments of the day was something many guides probably wouldn’t think to do. Instead of keeping us on the bus, he let us walk through one of the most beautiful stretches of Connemara while he drove ahead and waited for us. That walk was pure magic. It felt like stepping into every dream and every film I had ever imagined about Ireland, with mountains, stone walls, sheep and endless green landscapes all around us. It gave us time to slow down and truly experience the place instead of just looking at it through a bus window. This wasn’t just sightseeing. It felt like an introduction to the real Ireland. If you’re deciding between tours, choose this one. It was unforgettable.

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.

We did the full day tour which included the Cliffs of Moher and several hours on one of the Aran Islands, Inisheer. Our guide Sean was fantastic! Engaging, informative, funny, and always looking out for us. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Galway area!
