This tour was an excellent way to see and learn about Ireland’s history and beauty. Thomas was a very knowledgeable guide/driver. Lots of stops along the way. Great value!
It was a long day over 11 hours but it was well worth the time. We traveled 600 km and saw many many sights.
Kael was amazing. Very informative. Highly recommended.
The tour was very good, and the Cliffs of Moher were beautiful. The time management, on the other hand, was a bit rough. We had a good amount of time at the Cliffs of Moher, but there wasn't much time at the castle stop. We had only 25 minutes to see both the park and the castle, which is impossible, especially since walking from the parking lot to the castle and back also takes some time. Also, the ticket to the castle costs €13 and is not included in the price of the tour. So we just took some photos from outside the castle and headed back to the bus, which was a bit underwhelming. Anyway, the tour itself is a nice option for anyone who can't rent a car. The tour guide was very nice and sweet as well.
Dominick was good provided insightful history
Tour guide Skipped part of the tour- no reason given. Tour guide seemed cranky. Must have had an off day
Great experience touring Cliffs of Moher, Wild Atlantic Way, and Galway with Casper and Dahli. Guide Dahli was entertaining, knowledgeable, and very helpful and attentive to tourists. Casper was a safe and excellent driver. Thank you
Our Driver Sean was great very nice well versed in the history of Ireland. We had a wonderful trip out to the Cliffs of Moher and back. The only thing I didn't care for is only one location to eat at when we stopped for lunch.
The tour was very nice. We were expecting a guide but only had a driver. It was still good! Liam was great, he drove us all day and still had energy to talk and tell some stories. James and I enjoyed the experience!
Good day trip I would recommend
