Great way to cover a lot of ground in one day.

This tour was as expected and described. It was a great day and we were very fortunate with the weather. Our driver/guide was a nice guy. One thing we did not like was the crowd on the boat. You had to stand with obstructed views (other people) to see the cliffs. People were jockeying for position. The boat was packed way too tight with people. Additionally, I was disappointed with the time we were given at the Cliffs of Moher, 1 hour was just enough time to visit the restroom and walk up to the see the cliffs. I wish we did not have a stop at a restaurant and would have preferred a longer time at the cliffs instead. One could get food at the visitors center if it is a priority. The restaurant stop was our final stop of the day after the cliffs. We would have preferred to dine on our own in Galway. Instead, we had no time to enjoy the visitor center, watch the 4D movie and the other interesting things that were offered with our ticket entry. I still recommend this journey for those trying to visit many major sights in one day.

Must-Do Tour

We're not big on big bus tours but this was great. Just the right amount of narration, a decent amount of time to explore Inisheer, and seeing the Cliffs of Moher from land and sea is a must. Be advised: bring a raincoat for the boat. If you sit inside you risk getting seasick and if you sit outside you may well get wet.

Will recommend!

Alan was a great guide—very knowledgeable and even his playlist is on point. Very Irish—which is what I came here for. He kept us organized and on time. The bus was kept clean and looked well maintained.

Wonderful Experience! Beautiful sites

We had a great time at every stop. The tour guide was interesting and engaging. The weather was typical for Ireland, so we chalked the wind and the rain up to being part of the experience.
