Aran Islands & Cliffs of Moher Day Tour

This was such a fun tour, the time on the island was so incredible, I highly recommend taking a horse carriage around, we loved it!

Best tour of our vacation. Bus driver/tour guide (Paul) was a pool of knowledge and shared with us so much amazing information. Additionally he is an amazing driver of such a large bus on such the narrow roads. Cliffs of Moher - missed the puffins by a week or two but the Cliffs were amazing both from below on the ferry and from the walk above. But the island of Inis Oirr stole the show, would have gladly stayed there for twice the time. Few quaint craft shops with amazing sweaters, nice friendly pubs, beautiful ruins and a sandy beach with a few pieces of beautiful sea glass/pottery amongst the shells.

A fantastic experience. Breathtaking scenery the whole way. Nothing was rushed, there was plenty of time to explore. Aran Island stop was like no place I'd ever seen! Dave was an exceptional guide. He even gave us time to hop off and view the solar eclipse.

This tour is excellent! You get to see and do so much and Tommy is a great guide! They are very clear about timing and help you get on additional tour at the islands.

I did a lot of these type of tours in different countries but this was the least professional by far . The day of the tour the tour company and driver did a head count 2 or 3 times . Then getting on the bus the driver told each passenger where they had to sit . The paying passengers did not get to choose . I never saw that before . Why couldnt paying adults sit where they want ? On the way to the Aran islands the driver asked for a count of who wanted to rent a regular bike or a electric bike . He said a electric bike was $50.00 . He even said not $15.00 but $50.00 so there would be no mistake . I was one of the first ones off the ferry to beat a line to rent bikes . The first bike place I saw I went to and was told the electric bike rental was $40.00 so I rented one . As I was taking off on the bike I saw our bus driver directing our group to the other bike rental place about 50 yards away where they paid $50.00 . Obviously the tour company was getting a $10.00 kickback for each passenger . Departing the ferry to get back on the bus the driver almost stranded someone in our group . We got off the ferry and was headed back to the bus to go to a town called I think Dooly for lunch . Everyone got on the bus except one lady that went to the restroom . Without taking a head count the driver started driving away until someone said that their friend wasnt on the bus . The driver had no reason to be annoyed but he obviously was . If it would have been a solo traveler they would have been left behind on the dock . When we got to the town for lunch we didnt have a choice where to eat . The bus pulled into the driveway of a restaurant and everyone was funneled in. There were other places in walking distance but we didnt have a choice . Again another kickback from the restaurant for dumping us there . I would not recommend this trip at all . The driver was obnoxious and the tour company did not care about the enjoyment of the passengers and was only interested in pocketing as much as possible at the expense of paying customers
