John B was a fantastic...

5.00John B was a fantastic tour guide! My friend and I were impressed by his ability to simultaneously drive and give such good information. The only thing is, I wish we were able to stay at the cliffs of Moher for longer. We had less than one hour there and did not get to explore the trails as much as we would have liked. Otherwise, I really enjoyed our stops. The Burren was also incredible!
No better way for sightseeing Galway other than John B

5.00John B from Lally tours was brilliant which made the tour very special. He is very knowledgeable everything about Galway which was evident when he shared information about the different places along the way from one sighted seeing to another.

5.00Lally tours is a great company to do day trips from Galway. My family and I had a great time. Much of this had to do with our driver, Seamus. Not only was he a great & careful driver, his knowledge of the places we visited was so spot on. He was also so very personable. One of our family members was car sick and Seamus knew exactly what to do. Trip was great, our driver fantastic. We rate it a 12/10!!
Great day along the Wild Atlantic Way

5.00We enjoyed several great views along Galway Bay throughout the trip. Aillwee Cave is well worth the €10 admission fee. The Cliffs of Moher were stunning and the Burrens look otherworldly. We saw several castles and were able to see the Aran Islands from the coast. Along the way we heard narrative about the history and culture of the area that kept us entertained throughout the bus rides.

4.00The bus was nice and I appreciated the guide’s stories & recommendations. The weather didn’t cooperate, so we walked out on the cliffs, but couldn’t see the cliffs. Very low visibility. The cave and lunch stops were good. Glad we went!

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Lally Tours and our driver / guide John B. He provided insightful information all the way along. It is a long day, however you do get to cover many attractions with the Cliffs of Moher being our favorite. John was thoughtful letting people know the timing for bathroom breaks etc. Our tour company had great parking at the cliffs making access easy. Really beautiful country and we enjoyed the history as well. Highly recommend this tour and John B!
Highly recommend

5.00John B was a fantastic driver and gave interesting insight and facts about Ireland overall, Galway, County Clare, the Connemara and the Burren. The Caves and the Cliffs were top notch. Lunch in Doolin was great. The weather was perfect and beautifully sunny for January in Ireland. Highly recommend this tour.
