5.00It was beautiful. VERY windy. There was a line to get up the lookout so we didn’t have time on the tour to go up.
Excellent time!

5.00Had a very good time on our excursion. Our driver was excellent at maneuvering the vehicle and was very knowledgeable. The trip took 7 hours and every minute of it was full of beauty and awe. The admission fee was not terrible and the size of the tour was just right. A wonderful trip and I would recommend it to anyone looking to visit the Cliffs.
Such an amazing & unforgettable tour!

5.00I managed to book this 48hours before the trip. The instructions for meeting were clear once booked and I'd compared it to other available tours that were similar but didn't seem as good value. Travelling solo meant I was trying to pack as much as in as I could, but after a lot of driving myself, I decided to give myself a break... And I'm very glad I did. Glenn was lovely, called me to check I was in route before departure as I'd got stuck in traffic, was polite when I was slightly late. He shared so much information and facts with us in a digest able way, along the routes. The day went very quickly and the stops were balanced out for the journey very well indeed. The coach was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was absolutely splendid. I loved it and it's nice to have a tour guide and driver that was knowledgeable, a safe driver but didn't make you feel overwhelmed either. If you want to learn, pack in some wonderful sights, tourist spots and the opportunity for an amazing place for lunch also (I recommend the seafood chowder), then book yourself on this tour.
