Cliffs day trip

Awesome daytrip with Dave as our driver, caretaker for the day. The whole trip was fun, Dave pointing out wildlife, all the towns we passed, special things we should notice. Ferry, hike on the Island, Cliffs of Moher was all great!! Highly recommend!

Best Tour

TOMMY! Was the best tour guide. Had great old Irish stories and kept us all entertained on the bus. Expert driver over all the twisty windy turns of the road from Galway to Cliffs of Moher. 10/10

Amazing

This trip was great! We spent 2 hours on Inisheer — such an amazing island. Then we had the chance to see the Cliffs of Moher both from the ocean and from the top of the cliffs. The weather was perfect, and the tour guide was the best!

Unfortunately not a great experience

The tour was too hurried and long for what it was. Honestly the Island was ok but not a wonderful experience and the cliffs cruise was not good due to weather conditions, but some of the staff of the cruise company (The Doolin Ferry Co) was very rude to us, they yelled unjustifiably and for nothing at us and then didn’t even check on us when they were checking on everyone else at the boat which pretty much made for a bad experience. The bus tour guide for the whole experience had a good attitude, but off the bus it was difficult to understand what was next, especially in the Island. The cliffs are spectacular though, too bad the weather was not awesome, but they are amazing. Overall it was not a great experience and we had to be rushing and running everywhere all day which made the experience less enjoyable.
