We had an absolute cracker of a walk with Cearbhuil , albeit in winds that were hitting 50kph. Her knowledge and passion for what she does and her homeland were unparalleled and her level of attention above and beyond expectation (even to the point of Cearbhuil scaling the electric fence to retrieve my sun glasses blown off in the wind!!!)

Our guide Cearbhuil F. was fantastic! We loved this hike even in the rain! The views were beautiful! Highly recommend this tour to get a different perspective from only the visitor center.

Amazing tour that gave you views simply visiting the visitor center would not. Our awesome guide Tommy gave us information about the area as well as some folklore that kept us entertained along the way. It was a great way to spend the day and immerse ourselves in the area I would recommend it to anyone.

Our guide Phil with Ollie tours was fantastic! Highly recommend this hike as a way to see the cliffs and learn some of the local history. Would 100% do it again. The hike was about 4.5 miles in total.

Mark_M, Jun 2026

My family had a great time and learned a lot about the local history of the trail and landscape. The trail was a difficult terrain and was at times difficult to hike, so we were greatful for the frequent stops. Definitely recommend wearing hiking shoes and packing a backpack to carry water in, but otherwise had a lovely time.

Beautiful hike with great guide

Anne_W, Jun 2026

Beautiful walk with some mildly strenuous parts (uphill stretches). Guide was very friendly and knowlegeable and was attentive to safety.

Wowwww

Phill was great and very informative. Super funny too. We got amazing views and pictures as well as history.

Beautiful Experience

Ona_H, Mar 2026

Wow!!! What an incredible experience. Simon was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He knew so much about the history and was great at telling stories! I honestly cannot imagine doing the cliffs without a guide like him. It was such a special experience for all of us.

Worth it!

Camille_K, Oct 2025

This was an incredible experience! I learned so much more about the geology and the history of the area than I would have going alone. I also met nice fellow travelers with whom to share the joy of the beautiful views. When we got to the Cliffs at the end, we were lucky enough to catch someone accepting a marriage proposal with the Cliffs as the background (so sweet). Our guide was spectacular. The pace was just right.

Great time with a great guide!

Chinh_T, Oct 2025

We had a fantastic time hiking up to the Cliffs of Moher with Oisin. He was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and made our day an unforgettable experience. We would definitely do again. Thanks Oisin!

Our guide was great and the views were awesome. I would do this tour again as there is some much to see.

Awesome tour with Phil!

Heather_J, Oct 2025

We really enjoyed our tour with Phil. He had a lot of history about the area to share. Which really just added so much to the experience. He was also friendly and kind making sure we were all safe. The pace was good with times for breaks and picture taking. Would highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic experience!...

Nicholas_R, Sep 2025

Fantastic experience! Funny and informative guide Declan. The small group made it feel like a personalized tour, not like they were just trying to rush you in and out of a lookout point. Multiple stops where the guide explained the view, told stories about the history or current events of the area, and gave plenty of time for pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a locals experience of the Cliffs of Moher!

Great walk and guide!

Anonymous, Sep 2025

Oisin was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgable and friendly. Lots of good historical info and fun to chat with him as a local. Highly recommend the tour and you’ll be very happy if you get Oisin.

A must do in Ireland!

LeAnne_F, Sep 2025

Fabulous 4 mile hike along the stunning Cliffs of Moher with the very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Simon. We all thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. Be prepared to experience wind, muddy conditions and spectacular views. This can be a challenging hike in places, and is not for young children or anyone with physical challenges. Bring your camera, but leave your white tennies behind!

Amazing Experience

Leslie_B, Sep 2025

This tour was fabulous. Simon was an awesome guide. We had beautiful weather but trail was very wet and muddy in parts. The views were spectacular and we could not have enjoyed this more. Thank you for a great experience,

Be prepared for rain, wind, and mud. Be able to climb small obstacles. Excellent narrative and friendly guide.

Choose this tour!

Heather_H, Sep 2025

This small group tour was the perfect way to experience the Cliffs! It is a 3.5 mile hike, so wear shoes that help you navigate rough/uneven terrain. We went in September and it was very wet/muddy. Sofie was an exceptional guide. Lovely personality, helpful and informative. The best! This was our favorite tour of the trip.

Enjoy Stunning Views Without the Crowds!

Shelby_M, Sep 2025

Great way to enjoy the views without the bus crowds! Phil maintained a steady pace interspersed with stops, during which he shared interesting facts and folklore. Very entertaining experience and great exercise too!

Great Hike

Tracy_M, Sep 2025

My friend and I were really looking forward to hiking the Cliffs of Moher, but when we realized part of the trail had been shut down, we decided to do a guided tour. Dean our guide was excellent and we had a great group! Great way to avoid crowds at visitor Centre.

Hike the Cliffs of Moher

Great trip. Simon was a terrific guide. The entire group gathered in the local pub following the hike. Scenery was spectacular.

Fantastic hike, guide & access into Cliffs of Moher

Melanie_D, Aug 2025

I cannot recommend Ollie's Tours, Mark - our guide - and this tour enough. It was perfect. I had looked at hiking to the Cliffs of Moher from Doolin, as I didn't want to get stuck with all the tourists at the Visitor Centre. The rub is transportation back from the Cliffs after the hike. This tour allowed us to hike a road-less-traveled to the Cliffs of Moher, great history & information from Mark about the area along the hike, VERY FEW people on the trail from Doolin & a small group (just 5 of us) to experience this trip. Ollie's Tours arranged a taxi for all of us back to the starting point, so easy, easy. The other amazing experience was their access to off-the-trail locations to get special views of the Cliffs. Highly, highly recommend. Ollie's Tours was responsive to all my upfront questions (we parked for free in Doolin) and made everything easy. It didn't hurt that it was a clear day, no wind & some of the most beautiful views EVER. 5* for the whole experience.

Excellent guided hike

Geoff_B, Aug 2025

Our family had a great time on this hike. The views were spectacular and hiring a guide gave us access to some of the best views that otherwise wouldn’t have been accessible. Our guide, Sean, made the walk even more enjoyable by sharing local history, Irish culture and a few Irish myths. I highly recommend this outing.

Little faster paced than...

Victoria_M, Jul 2025

Little faster paced than I thought … the group size was 12… also more than I thought for a small group the guide was knowledgeable and Ollie appreciated the feedback. Would definitely recommend

Nancy_M, Jul 2025

The Cliff Walk was easily the highlight of our visit to Ireland. Sean was knowledgeable and fun and maintained a pace that even this 72yr old could easily manage.

Secret path to the cliffs

navneet_s, Jul 2025

The secret trip! Simon the monk would lead you where few have ever gone! Absolutely magical! Avoid the hordes of people on the bus at the gift shop at the top! That's a total tourist trap!
