Reviews
I did the Cliffs of Moher & Galway City tour with Wild Rover Tours, and my experience was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Padhraig, and our driver, Stipe, were fantastic. Everything ran smoothly and on time, and they were both incredibly friendly and helpful. Padhraig went above and beyond—he shared local tips and recommendations for restaurants and bars in Dublin, checked in with every single person on the bus (all 63 of us!) to make sure everyone was enjoying the trip, and created such a fun atmosphere throughout the day. He kept everyone laughing, even sang for us, and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. 11/10—highly recommended!
(Translated by Google) We absolutely loved our trip to Northern Ireland!!! Our guide Úna and driver Michael did a fantastic job leading us through the day. We highly recommend this trip to anyone who has a spare day in Dublin. It was brilliant!!! (Original) Uns hat der Ausflug nach Nordirland wahnsinnig gut gefallen!!! Die Guide Úna und der Fahrer Michael haben uns wunderbar durch den Tag geführt. Wir können daher jedem empfehlen, den Ausflug zu machen, wenn man einen Tag in Dublin übrig hat. Es war spitze!!!
It was an extremely pleasant experience to see Northern Ireland. Our tour guide was Stephen who was very engaging. Everything was on time and well organised.
