Great views and even better guide

Our guide Gary was fantastic! Always had a story or fun fact to share during the drive. The journey to the Cliffs was filled with beautiful stops and views. We had enough time to walk around and take in the sights at the Cliffs and at every stop along the way.

Unforgettable Tour of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher

A great experience! TOMMY was our tour guide and told us the best stories along the route. Highly educational and learned so many things never knew, especially about the geographical history of Ireland and the bond between American Choctaw natives and Irish!

With best recommendation

Full-day tour with a series of short and long stops. The longest stop was at the Cliffs of Moher. Many buses are parked in the bus parking lot there. So there is a lot of competition. However, it is advantageous to start from Galway, as the journey from here is the shortest. My expectation was to quickly experience the Cliffs of Moher and gain insight into the region, relying on the knowledge of a local provider. These expectations were completely met; in fact, I heard many interesting stories about the land and its people. I had to concentrate to follow along, so it was good that the tour guide asked everyone at the beginning to be considerate of those for whom English is not the first language, for example, by refraining from disruptive phone conversations - which everyone adhered to 😊 - Thank you for that. I gladly recommend this professional organizer. Perhaps the best moment was when he reacted to light and weather effects that cannot be planned in advance (stopping, allowing people to get out) and thus conveyed a deeper understanding of the beauty of Irish nature.
