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!

Cliffs of Moher

Even though the weather was bad our driver drove very carefully and gave time for us to get to the tour destinations. He was very informative on the areas we were touring. Always ask or take a picture of your bus when at the Cliffs. Too many buses parked next to each other. This one needed better signage so we good identify it.

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.

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.

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.
