Just finished the Cliffs of Moher tour and it was absolutely incredible! 🌊✨ The views alone are breathtaking, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our tour guide, Quiggy.
Quiggy was extremely informative, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Ireland’s history and culture. He didn’t just point out landmarks — he brought the stories to life. From the geology of the cliffs to Irish folklore and local history, every stop felt educational and meaningful. I learned so much while still having the best time.
You can tell he really loves what he does, and that energy made the entire day even more special. If you’re visiting Ireland, I highly recommend this tour — and if you get Quiggy as your guide, you’re in for a treat! 🇮🇪💚

This is mostly a driving tour. About 2 hours at the Cliffs of Moher, 2 hours in Galway. But if you're based out of Dublin and want a taste of the west coast, this is a great way to see it. Our guide, Carol and driver, Mustafa were excellent. Kindly kept everyone on schedule so we had the most time possible at each stop. Informative narrative, excellent driving!
Quinn_C, Mar 2026

Be prepared for cold and wind. We had a great time but we were dressed for it. Rowan the tour guide and Fred the driver were both fantastic. Very fun day!!
Ali_M, Mar 2026
Rowan was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable and his energy about Ireland was contagious! I really appreciated his ability to tailor the information to the interests of the group and think he’s the reason this tour will be one of the highlights from my trip to Ireland.
Kim_D, Mar 2026
Great trip! Lisa and Nishad were great! We had a wet and very windy day and despite that it was fun. I wish the tour had more time in Galway. Next time I will do the option to stay over night. Galway has a lot to see.
Sandra_I, Mar 2026
A genuinely great experience with my daughter. We had a lot of fun and relaxed during this excursion. The tour guide and driver were exceptional. We felt safe, able to learn about Irish culture, and able to make lasting memories. A must-do.

Jacob and Tomas were absolutely incredible! This tour was the perfect thing to get me out of Dublin and see more of Ireland! Perfect amount of time at east stop and the guide/driver really made the day!
AJ_L, Feb 2026
It was a beautiful trip. Our guide Carol was very informative. She told us about the history, pointed out land marks, shared storied and folklore. Was quiet when she knew we wanted to rest. We had plenty of time in every location to see all we wanted to see. Our driver Nic ensured we had a safe voyage and navigated some small roads and hairpin turns with ease
Imani_K, Feb 2026
Luke and Bea were so amazing and well informed. Bea was an extremely capable driver and Luke was a very informative speaker with endless patience and kindness

Victoria_J, Feb 2026
This tour was definitely our favorite part of our trip to Ireland. Jacko was incredible! He was friendly and upbeat from the very beginning of the tour and still kept up the same energy 12.5 hours later! He was super knowledgeable and gave a great rundown on the history of Ireland. I also loved how he incorporated appropriate music for each stop (Barack Obama song, Galway Girl, etc.) and he even created a list of pubs in Dublin that he recommends and stood outside of the bus after the end of a long day to give out directions if needed. It was amazing to have a guide who genuinely cared about creating a memorable experience for his passengers.
It was very foggy and overcast on the day that we went so we couldn't fully see the Cliffs of Moher but we had a blast exploring the misty cliffs and getting the see the Barack Obama plaza was a special treat for us Americans haha.
My only recommendation when attending is to make sure to arrive early! We took another Finn McCools tour the day before and arrived 10 minutes early and we got great seats towards the middle of the bus. This tour seems to fill up very fast. We again arrived about 10 minutes early and were among the last couple of people to arrive on the two busses that they had. As a result we ended up in the very back with a group of young men who spent a large part of the trip loudly talking and laughing so it was a bit distracting at times. It's a very early tour but so so worth it to arrive at least 15-20 minutes early to ensure you get the best seats!
Madison_S, Feb 2026
Super fun and packed tour! Our tour guide Richard and driver Jose were incredible. They provided tons of commentary on Ireland’s history, pop culture, and more. The tour was nicely timed with 2 hours at the cliffs and 2 hours in Galway. Bus is comfortable and has A/C. The Obama rest stop has tons of options for food in the morning and there’s a restaurant in the cafe at the cliffs as well. Would absolutely recommend!
Kirbi_H, Feb 2026
It was a great tour. Olie was an excellent guide and his incorporation of music to tell the history of Ireland was fantastic. Will definitely do the tour again next time I’m in Dublin
qingyuan_l, Feb 2026
Although it was foggy that day, it was much better than we expected, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide was very professional and provided excellent explanations. She even recommended some delicious ice cream. It was such a wonderful trip!
Chaz_A, Jan 2026
The left side of the bus is better. But great views and shops, bus guides are a great help when finding a place to go at the different stops!
Meg_S, Jan 2026
Richard and Salan were very kind and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to have good weather which was great!
Kathy_T, Jan 2026
It was a wonderful day and a great value. It was a long day but the tour guides did a fantastic job breaking up the trip. A true highlight of our trip!
Jennifer_K, Jan 2026
The cliffs are worth the trip. We were trying to figure out if we could do it on our own but decided the guided tour was worth it. We had ample time at all locations and our guide was great!
Amneris_B, Jan 2026
We started this tour early in the morning and all was so well organised. We got on and off the bus very smoothly. The journey was long but not at all chaotic. Lovely places to visit and decent amount of time to spend on ones own. Our guide, Aoife was super helpful and even shared tips and offered to answer any questions we had on ireland in general. Daas was our driver and he was a very good driver and such a gentleman. Highly recommend.
Deegan_R, Jan 2026
I went on this tour by myself and had a great time! The guide Conor was very funny and informative. I was nervous about bathroom breaks but it ended up being fine and there was a bathroom on the bus if needed. I also didn’t think there would be enough time at each stop, but it was perfect. I highly recommend if you want to get out of Dublin and not only see these stops but the beautiful views along the way.
