• 5Boat ride, island visit and Cliffs view

  We actually visitednboth the cliffs AND the boat ride to the island, carriage ride and lunch, as the narrower trip was not running. It was great, start to finish, and we especially enjoyed the carriage ride and the cliffs!! Patrick was an outstanding tour guide, giving us his opinions as well as the history. We heartily recommend the tour, and if one can do the longer one, even better.

• 5Definitely recommended!!

  Our driver Phil was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the area and history. It didn't feel as though he was a guide going through the motions on yet another tour, but like you’re at a pub with a new friend. Both myself and hubs said it was the best part tour/ activity of our trip. And having 2 hours at the cliffs was great, we didn’t feel rushed or like we missed anything.

• 5Best tour ever!

  Alan was our amazing tour guide out to the Cliffs of Moher. He was so knowledgable and kept the journey engaging but not too over whelming with information so that we could take in the experience. Loved the music he played along the way as well (lots of Ed Sheeran) :).

About Galway

Galway is a harbour city on Ireland's west coast, with a pedestrian old centre, traditional music, a seaside promenade and Connemara just to the west.

Galway stands where the River Corrib meets Galway Bay, and in the Middle Ages it was ruled by fourteen merchant families known as the Tribes, who built its stone houses and quays. The Spanish Arch recalls the trade with Spain, and Eyre Square, the Latin Quarter around Shop Street and Quay Street, and the Claddagh, a former fishing village that gave its name to the Claddagh ring, form the centre. The cathedral, consecrated in 1965, stands by the river.
