Great time, Patrick is awesome

Patrick was our tour guide and he was wonderful! He was funny, had great recommendations and really cared about us having a great time on the tour. Unfortunately, we couldn’t cruise underneath the Cliffs of Moher but that was because of how high the waves were which makes sense. Even the ride back that day from the island was a little choppy - totally not within anyone’s control. Patrick helped everyone around on the island, in figuring out what kind of a tour we each wanted and to tailor it to our own experience. We did the mini tour bus on the island, it’s about 15 euros but we got to see the shipwreck and the castle up top - and hear about it all, which was super cool!

Galway Tour / Cliffs of Moher Aran Island

The entire tour was great! Tommy our driver and guide was phenomenal. Love the historical knowledge Tommy bestowed upon us. Great driving too!!!! Thank you Tommy. Aran Island tour by horse and carriage was fantastic. Billy and his son Collum and horse Molly was top notch. Thank you!

A tour not to miss!

This was a jam packed day in a good way! So many things were packed into our trip which worked out perfectly because we had only one day in the Galway area to sightsee. Aran Islands are a must see! The boat ride was not for the faint at heart so if you get sea sick I would advise taking Dramamine beforehand. The boat ride was a highlight for me! Loved every minute of it. Our tour guide, Francis was very informative and had a great playlist of songs for the bus ride!

Absolutely incredible! We...

Absolutely incredible! We loved the islands! Our tour guide set us up with the most incredible horse and carriage for the island. We had such a fun experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. Bring some Dramamine for the ferry over- it was no joke! Sit up on top if you get seasick easily. You might get wet but I promise it’ll be better than sitting below deck.
