5.00Our tour guide Tommy was amazing! The way he told his stories and the knowledge he had for the entirety of the tour was vast. We stopped for lunch before the Cliffs and the pub was more than ready for our arrival. Allowing lunch to go smoothly and efficiently to keep us on schedule. Yes, the cliffs were to die for, but we stopped at the beach before heading back to the city and it was the perfect way to close a beautiful fun filled day. Would 100% come back for this tour, especially if Tommy is our guide.
Pleasant day

4.00Our driver was phenomenal. The first stop at the castle could have being a tad longer and less at the burial site. It was a good day that went by super fast. The bus was comfortable and the lunch stop is a great choice! Worth the value and avoiding the drive and parking.
Tommy the Camp!

5.00Excellent day trip from Galway, but beware the bus driver telling the customers to shush. Did we sign up for an 8-hour vow of silence? No we did not, Driver! Suffused with menopausal rage, we appreciated the karma of the universe when the wing mirror clipped a telephone pole and broke off. Over the headset, we all clearly heard “Ohhhh feck!” Bet you wish we’d been talking then, Driver. Loved the Mesolithic tomb and karst landscape of the Burren. The cliffs of Moher were spectacular. Best day trip ever hahahaha! (Driver was actually lovely. Don’t scold him.)
