Absolutely Must Do!
Our guide Phil provided a wealth knowledge and pointed out key aspects along the way. The stops were perfect and having 2 hours at the Cliffs of Moher was ideal. Don’t settle for less!

This tour was exceptional! From start to finish Gerry was very knowledgeable about Galway and was able to stop several times for the group to get out and take pictures. We had plenty of time at the Cliffs so got to explore without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour.
