The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful! More information needs to be given about what types of shoes to wear, what stops will be taken, and where to meet the bus.

Amazing day thanks to our guide Alan! Loved hearing the history of the area & his great jokes. (Tell your son the dog joke was the best). There was no question he couldn’t answer & he made us all feel like old friends. We were safe in his hands & appreciated the clear instructions. Amazing hike to the Cliffs from Doolin. The Visitor Centre is fantastic & we had lots of time to do the 8 km hike then relax amongst the exhibits.
Thanks so much!
Hugs from the 4 Canadian Explorers.

It was a great tour. Some issues were that we were part of an Aran Islands tour. The only 4 out of like 60. So the tour guide made it clear that the other 56 were his priority. We were dropped off at the Doolin pier with the other, but our trailhead for the Cliffs was 0.5 mile away. So we had to hoof it. We got to the town around 11. At this time of day, there is no food being served anywhere except a small sandwich shop. We waited until 12:30 to get a better meal. The walk itself was awesome. We had a beautiful, sunny day. The path is generally well marked. There was one point, close to the visitor center, where there was a sign that said the trail was closed, but it was the only way to get to the center, so we went that way. Be careful of the winds. It took us about 2.5 hours, but we were going at a good pace having been told we needed to be at the visitor center by 3:30. We got there at 3:20, found the bus and were then told the bus doesn't leave until 4:40. The Aran Island tour had run late and so they needed the time there. So you may want to find out if the tour is being run with another. It seemed to be a better experience that starting from the visitor center. It was nice not to have to follow a group.

The cliffs are nice and once you are there you enjoy a really lovely walk. However you are dropped in Doolin about 1 to 1.5h walk from the cliffs. The Cliffside walk being closed its pretty much 1h walking alongside a driveway which is a pity. The bus ride is nice with nome nice historical facts

Fantastic tour. Our guide was excellent, friendly, and very knowledgable. The explorer hike up the cliffs was amazing and worthwhile. Beautiful views and a fun sense of independence the entire way. I had a wonderful time. Thank you for a great visit.

The explorer tour is just an amazing way to discover the way along the cliffs, and an opportunity to see, from many different points of view, all the cliffs. They drop you at the beginning of the path, and pick you up at the end, at the visitors center.
So you have about 5 hours to explore the way, all for yourselves. Its been an incredible and fabulous experience. I do recommend it.

This tour was simply wonderful! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and we were given many opportunities to hop off the bus and take pictures in some of the most beautiful locations that I have ever been in. I would recommend it highly to anyone.

Uns hat der Aufstieg direkt an den Klippen am meisten den Atem geraubt. Das war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

Abbiamo scelto questa gita per avere il tempo e la calma di visitare le Cliffs of Moher senza orari e devo dire che è stata un’ottima scelta! La passeggiata da Doolin alle scogliere è stata molto piacevole e non troppo impegnativa e ci ha permesso di vedere una parte di costa non battuta dalle masse di turisti.
Valore aggiunto dato poi da Raymond, l’autista, che, oltre ad essere molto simpatico, ci ha dato diverse informazioni utili sull’Irlanda. La consiglio!

La visite est très complète, j’ai pu découvrir plusieurs endroits différents (inisheer, les falaises de Moher). John est un très bon guide, très marrant, il nous a donné de bons conseils concernant l’île d’inisheer mais aussi des conseils sur des restaurants, pub et autre à Galway city. Je recommande cette visite à 100% !

El vehiculo me dejo en Doolin, donde esta el puerto de embarque hacia las islas Aran. Esto fue un poco inesperado, porque si bien tenia contratado 5 horas para explorar los acantilados, suponia que me dejaba en el centro de visitantes de los acantilados Moher. La camibata por tanto comenzo en ese puerto. De ahi al centro de visitantes camine casi una hora y media, por camino y por carretera. Si bien en este tramo se ve el mar, no se camiba al borde del mismo. Ya en los acantilados, la caminata es fantastica. Yo camine algo mas de tres horas hacia la izquierda y llegue casi hasta el ultimo punto. Me quedo poco tiempo para los acantilados de la derecha, que hasta donde vi tambien son fantasticos. Muy buena la decision de haber contratado este tour. En lo personal me habria gustado mas que me dejaran directamente en el centro de visitantes, ya que el lugar da para caminar muchas horas. El vehiculo me recogio en el centro de visitantes.
