Private Cliffs of Moher Day Tour

Bruce_L, Jun 2026

Our driver was engaging...

Our driver was engaging and informative. Our itinerary included a sheepdog demonstration and the Cliffs of Mohar. The cliffs were awesome, a definite sight to see, and the drive back was along the coast, which afforded beautiful views. Lunch at Gus O’Connor’s Pub in Doolin was a great treat, with a wonderful atmosphere. Overall, your experience with our driver, Pat, was well worth the trip.

Small Group Kylemore Abbey, Sheepdog Demo & Connemara Tour

Kristine_Y, Jun 2026

Connemara Tour

We enjoyed the day visiting the abbey and the sheepdog demonstration as well as the stops to take in the beautiful views along the way. The tour guide Kenny was very friendly and provided great information about the sites visited. The time at each stop was adequate and we never felt rushed. The tour group size was a full van of 15. Highly recommend to see this area of Ireland, time well spent.

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.

Fantastic Time

This was a great time! John was very informative and friendly. I appreciated them giving us a chance to have lunch. Plenty of room on the bus. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe. Always for any tour you wish you could have more time at the stops, but that goes with any tour vs going alone.

Amazing!!!

This was a 10/10 experience! Love that it is a local family business I was supporting. Our guide Phil was amazing and kept things fun and lively. I always felt safe and I was quite impressed with his driving skills. I would book the same exact tour again in the future…seeing the cliffs from the water was an absolute highlight!!!!

Connemara, Cong & Kylemore Abbey Tour from Galway

Camille_M, Jun 2026

Too much time spent at Kylemore Abby

Great travel experience and our driver, Paul, was informative and engaging. Our only disappointment was the lunch venue. Too much time spent at Kylemore Abby for those not interested in paying 28 Euros extra to see gardens and inside the small amount of rooms open to the publi . and our only lunch option. Much better to shave some of that time off for Cong, our next stop, and allow people, like us , to choose a cheape, and quieter , lunch there.

We had a fantastic day!...

We had a fantastic day! Our driver/guide Francis was awesome and really knowledgeable on the area. He also kept the driving very lively and entertaining. It was the perfect amount of time at each stop with plenty of time to explore. take pictures, and stop at the gift shop. Lunch was also at a fantastic pub.

Connemara Day Trip Including Leenane Village and Kylemore Abbey from Galway

Sarah_C, Jun 2026

A beautiful Connemara Day!

We had a beautiful sunny day for our trip to Connemara. The landscape is a true delight. Should it be raining please prepare ahead. The gardens at Kylemore are certainly worth a walk around. The abbey is best to view only from the outside if you are short on time. Insufficient time to view and read everything inside the abbey. Arrive early if you want to be at the front of the bus. Roads are narrow and sometimes winding. Front of the bus is better if you tend get car sick. Our driver, Mcdara was great. A great driver, historian and full of enjoins witty stories!

Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway

Nancy_C, Jun 2026

Beautiful day, gorgeous views

Really nice trip to the cliffs. Awesome pub stop en route with best seafood chowder we ever had. Bacon (ham) and cabbbage was just like mom used to make. The cliffs are a good hike so be prepared. The tour was well run and organized. We had several stops which helped for the long ride.

Great way to see two West Ireland highlights

Perhaps the best way to enjoy the Cliffs. Stand starboard and you’ll see them up close end to end. And Inishmore is a delight. A wonderful tour I would highly recommend. One suggestion, look at the website. You’ll find the audioguide and more info that was helpful.

Walking and Tasting Tour of Galway City

Robert_E, Jun 2026

Fun tour... come hungry

This was a fun 2.5 hour walking tour highlighting Galway's history as well as its traditional foods & drinks. Our tour guide Zoe was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour about the area was not an overwhelming walk and I would highly recommend a very light lunch if you're planning to do the 2:00 pm tour... as the tour is essentially a 3-course meal with drinks!!! Highly recommend!
