Excellent tour. Loved all of it even though the cliffs were fogged in. Seamus was a great guide and a master driver on some very scary roads. Would definitely recommend doing this!
Couldn’t get there as the meeting place was 2.5 hours beyond the disembarkation time of our cruise. No one coordinated nor verified that our ship was close enough. Viator was supportive - not the vendor
Seamus was an amazing guide. We had such a good time on our trip!
Great tour all around! Seamus was amazing and we loved all the facts and lore about Ireland. Disappointed with the dang clouds so we didn’t get to see the cliffs, but the rest of the tour made up for it. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Seamus was an excellent guide. Lots of great/fun information. Kept us informed of what was coming up next, how long it would be until we arrived, and kept us on schedule. As our hotel was on the way back into Galway also dropped us off. Great customer service.
We had John B. for our tour and he was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly informative. He gave great history commentary during our trip and played local Irish music through the speakers when we were on a longer route that didn’t need any explanation. The timing of everything was perfect and I felt the day went by so quickly but was filled with so fun history and fun!! So thankful for such an amazing tour for our honeymoon!
The guide was wonderful and we really enjoyed ourselves, we would highly recommend this tour to family and friends.
John B was an excellent guide. He made the drive interesting and I learned a lot about the land my ancestors are from in my first trip to Ireland. The caves were really cool and the Cliffs of Moher were beautiful. Fog comes and in out and impacts visibility but we had moments of good visibility. Also the lunch at Fitz’s Pub was phenomenal. The freshest oysters I’ve ever had
Quiggs & Marcin were wonderful tour guides! They made the long day fly by. Quiggs went above and beyond to get to know everyone on board and offered to take pictures at the various locations.
Shane our tour guide was amazing, he elevated the experience with his knowledge and humor. Amazing tour. Exceeded our expectations!!!
