Stellar!

Ian was our guide and truly amazing! He was both fun and informative, we had a small group and he engaged everyone in the tour. The boat ride to view the cliffs was incredible but if you are bothered by seasickness maybe not a good idea. I’m not at all affected so it was fun and the views were amazing - by comparison the Empire State Building is great but you can only see it from another building- so if you really want to see the cliffs the water is the ideal experience!

Saw the Cliffs but don’t get attached to the itinerary

In full transparency right up top, I requested a partial refund for this experience. My refund was rejected without explanation. I’m still going to try to rate and review this as fairly as possible in order to be helpful to other prospective buyers! I bought this experience specifically for the boat trip, to get a different perspective of the Cliffs. When we arrived in the morning, we were informed the weather was too windy for the boat. I understand this - guides can’t control the weather! Some other guest left at this point but I was still looking forward to visiting the cliffs and the rest of the experience so I stayed. My issue is that after that happened, it’s like everything else on the schedule was thrown out the window. We were supposed to have lunch in a town before the Cliffs visit. We instead stopped at a gas station for “snacks and a restroom break” and once we got back on were told we wouldn’t be getting lunch until after the cliffs visit, which was clearly confusing to several people. Then we were told we’d be eating AT the cliffs at a cafe. We wound up not eating lunch until 4PM, and we were dropped at a pub in the middle of nowhere with a very short menu. I have a common food allergy and had we stopped at a town (as listed on the itinerary), I would have had options, both in dining and in cost. We saw the Cliffs, which was cool! But literally any touring company would have gotten us there, so I’m rating this specific experience. Additionally - we arrived back AN HOUR AND A HALF later than we were supposed to. I don’t understand how, with skipping an early lunch, and only taking forty minutes for dinner, we wound up 90 minutes over time? So definitely don’t make any important evening reservations after this one. This is a minor thing I wouldn’t note at all if everything else had gone right, but there was no WiFi option on the bus, which is used as a selling point for the tour. And the guide didn’t seem to know anything about it. I did like the guide, he was kind enough to answer questions about Ireland’s history and it’s clear he’s passionate about that specific aspects. He just wasn’t very communicative about what to expect throughout the day and it left several people confused about what was happening, when. So from my perspective, here’s what they’re selling: - boat tour of Cliffs - lunch before tour in town with “options for everyone” - USB charging on bus - WiFi on bus - tour with knowledgeable driver I got less than half of these things. So I asked for a partial refund (denied). If you’re more laid back than me, and less of a planner, this tour (hosted by Paddy Wagon) might be great for you. If you’re like I am, I can’t recommend this tour for the cost, especially after great experiences with companies like Rabbie’s and others.

Highly recommend trip

Was a amazing sight to see, plus very enjoyable ride with some good knowledge being presented.

Boat cruise

The tour was perfect, but as because of poor weather conditions the boat cruise was cancelled there should be any compensation at least with a cup of coffee.

Impressive and surprising.

was great, it was a long bus ride but the driver kept us entertained most of the time with history and stories. The boat cruise itself was fun.
