  Very long day, tour guide did a great job entertaining us. The bus was large and driver did a great job maneuvering it but the seats could have been more comfortable. Would like to have spent less time at cliffs and more in Galway

• 5Highly Recommend This 1-Day Trip

  The driver and host were 10/10 in friendliness, humor, respectful of the time, and overall awesome. The bus was comfortable, the tour informative and fun, and the sights were unmatched. My only advice would be to stay at Galway for at least 1 extra hour longer. What a fun day!

• 5A windy day on the Cliffs

  If you are prone to motion sickness maybe bus tours are not for you. Took 2 tours and people had to get off the bus. As for the tour it was fantastic. The Cliffs of Mohr are amazing. We had a very windy day(40-45mph) but got to see it all. The ride along the coast was stunning as you get to see Irelands coastline and some beautiful beaches and homes . Galway was a lovely town that I wish we had more time in. Our tour guide - Dave and driver Joe were both great. They told lots of stories about the history of Ireland and were funny too. Tour is definitely worth it

• 5Great value

  Great value for a full day to see the country side and homes. Our drivers Dave and Joe were entertaining and made our experience memorable. Very windy day with many steps for us old people at the cliffs but very happy we went. We will just have to rest the next day.

• 3My Solo Adventure

  Prepare yourself for a VERY LONG LONG DAY….Seeing the Cliffs of Moher had been on my bucket list for a long time, so I was excited to finally have the opportunity to visit. The tour did allow me to see some beautiful scenery and experience a part of Ireland I had never seen before. I was disappointed by how rushed the day felt. There was a lot of time spent traveling, and it felt like we were constantly watching the clock. I would have preferred to have spent more time in Galway. I would have loved to explore the city, walk around, and enjoy it without feeling like I had to hurry back to the bus. We only had a couple of stops, and everything felt very scheduled and rushed. I arrived at the pickup location 45 minutes before the scheduled pickup time, so I was the first person there. However, people who arrived at the last minute were able to board before me. Very disappointed ☹️ because after reading reviews I wanted to sit on the left side of the bus for the views. Overall, I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. The tour guide was a highlight, and the scenery was beautiful. However, I would have preferred more time in Galway, less rushing, and a more organized seating system. Maybe assigned seating when you purchase ticket.
