Cliffs of Moher
This tour was a comfortable bus ride to the Cliff's....it's a 2 hour ride and the driver was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We drove through some wonderful landscapes and we must admit that we were very lucky as sightseeing at the Cliff's can be a crap shoot. The day was perfect for seeing everything and while the wind was howling, it was a great experience. On the way back to Galway, we stopped in Doolin for lunch at McGann's Pub and then back to Galway....great time and once again, bring rain gear and dress appropriately.

Wonderful itinerary and exceptional guide
Our guide Dave was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He provided a lot of local insights and made a few interesting short stops besides the major destinations. He also informed us some practical info like when there could be toilet breaks from the start of the trip. We had a wonderful day and it exceeded our expectations.

Connemara and Kylemore Abbey
We had the best time with Shane on this tour! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Irish History and funny as well. He surprised us with an extra stop where we got to feed some sheep! He also gave us extra time at kylemore abbey which is very much needed in my opinion because there is so much to see there. He is very attentive to passenger questions and ensures nobody is left behind. We had him for the cliffs of moher tour as well and he was just as amazing as on this one. Would give him the biggest recommendation! If you are choosing between this one and cliffs of moher, would suggest this one if you like more mountains and remote areas!

Highly recommend this tour
What a great tour. Our guide, Brian, was wonderful. He picked us up in Galway and shared lots of interesting tidbits along the way to Doolin. The stop along the way was amazing (I only wish we had more time there because we loved climbing on the rocks!). Then we took a boat cruise to see the Cliffs of Moher from the water, which was so beautiful. Then we took a ferry to Inisheer. The island has rich history and beautiful views. We ate lunch on the island and took a horse carriage tour of the island. I would actually just have skipped lunch (bring something quick in your bag) and skip the horse tour for walking around the island. It's small and you get the feel of it better walking. But the carriage driver was friendly and interesting.

Great day!
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!

Fantastic Tour!!
You can’t go wrong spending the day with Michael on this tour! My sister and I had a fantastic day riding through Galway and the little towns and countryside as well as historic stops along the way. Michael was extremely knowledgeable, fun and brought the history to life. It may seem like a long day, but it flew by. The bus was very clean and comfortable as well. Highly recommend his tour!

This was great! Easy...
This was great! Easy process and our guide, Brian, was lovely! Very knowledgeable and funny and kind, cared about us as his guests and was helpful in every way he could be on top of driving safely! It was rainy and wet and a bit cold but was still an amazing day with great views and drives.

I’d do it again.
Very nice day, nice ship, pleasant island. We spent a good amount of time to get there and back so we used it as a good day of rest other than the time on the island. Toilets were limited even while underway so be aware if you have issues. There were plenty of spots to eat and e-bikes to rent once we landed making the afternoon a lot of fun.

Amazing tour!
Truly amazing day traveling and touring with our guide, Francis. He was very engaging, humorous, and quite knowledgeable of the places we traveled through and to. Kylemore and Cong were delightful. Highly recommend, especially if Francis is your guidez

This tours saves a lot of...
This tour saves a lot of travelling time when compared with the public transport. The coach driver pointed out important places along the way. The Cliffs and the natural beauty along the way are worth visiting for folks that come from large cities/towns. The time allowed by the operator at the Cliffs is more than sufficient to cover the entire area without rushing.

One of the best!
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.

Beautiful abbey
I mainly booked this trip to go to the national park, but chose the abbey since it was incredibly cloudy. Of course it cleared up while at the abbey. That was a little disappointing. Having to make a decision between two great places can be stressful. I wish they could skip all of the small stops and just stick with the abbey and the NP. But all in all the abbey was absolutely gorgeous and had a beautiful history/story behind it. The bus we took was very tight. The men next to me kept falling asleep on me. As a solo female traveler that was a little uncomfortable. The tour guide Mike was very informative and nice.
