(Translated by Google) Last Tuesday (August 6, 2024), I participated in the tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. It was great traveling with you all. Thanks to Rory, our tour guide, and to our friendly bus driver who drove us safely. Best regards from Germany :) (Original) Am letzten Dienstag (6.8.24) hab ich an der Tour zu den Cliffs of Moher und nach Galway teilgenommen. Es war toll mit euch zu fahren.

This tour is amazing. I took the black cab tour in Belfast, which was an unforgettable experience, (just do it and you'll see what i mean) and my husband chose The Titanic tour. The guide taught us so much about Irish history and folk lore on the journey, and we were very impressed with the driver who covered such a great distance. Highly recommended.

TLDR: Great drivers and tour guides! I appreciate the style of the tours with free time at the stops. No bathroom on the coaches, but comfort stops built in with no more than 2.5 hours of driving between a bathroom at a time. Don't rely on the coach WiFi. ~~~ We only had a few days in Ireland, so we opted to do two tours with Wild Rovers. Both were great! The tour guides and drivers were very knowledgable and friendly. I really enjoyed all the history and stories they'd share while we were traveling to the different locations. On the first tour, we had Rory as our guide and Pete as the driver. For the second day, Eliza was our guide and Billy was our driver. Kudos to both our guides and drivers. Again, they were excellent. This is shared on their website, but I feel like it bears repeating that once you arrive at most destinations, things are self-led and you're free to explore the areas for the given amount of time. In Galway, the walking tour with the guide was only about 10-minutes to share some information about Galway and the nearby streets. For the tours we did, there was a lot of driving/coach time, as expected. It seems the left side of the coach usually has the better views, but seats may be assigned when you get on the bus. This happened to us on the first day only. With the long travel time, there are comfort stops built into the itinerary. And, once you arrive to a location, the guides always let us know where we could find a bathroom. I think the models of the coaches may vary slightly, as the coach we had on the second day seemed to have more legroom and was noticeably more comfortable than the first one we had. As mentioned, we were told where to sit when we loaded the bus on the first day, but not the second. Even though the pickup time is noted, they were loading busses when we arrived ~15 minutes early. So, I recommend getting there 10-15 minutes before the stated pickup time. The WiFi was pretty intermittent on the coach, as well. It actually did not work at all on the first day (well, unless we were at a stop parked next to another Wild Rover coach...). We didn't mention it to the guide/driver, though, so unsure if they could've done something to fix it. Overall, I still give this a 5-star rating due to the tour guides, drivers, and itinerary!

We went for the Guided bus Tour for Cliffs of Moher and Gallway 31 July 2024 Our Guides were Christian and Krishna, and we could not be happier with our choice. We drove out of Dublin, early in the morning and after some time waiting, for most of us passengers to wake slowly up, (and shine). Later Christian started to tell us the History of Ireland. It was in all ways super interesting, and though I knew something, there was so much I did not know. We really had a good time, listening to him. He is so knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and with a dose of wit and humour, he updated and informed us, for several hours. Driving through Irelands beautiful countryside, and with Christian`s guided history lectures in a pleasant way, hours passed by like minutes. We had seen the spectacular Cliffs, driven through the strange area of Burren, just ten minutes from Gallway the bus clutch broke. Whatever now Krishna tried, the bus would not move one more meter. Right next to a crossing, we stood there, in the middle of the traffic. Here I cannot give enough praise to our eminent driver Krishna and how this guide team solved the situation. It stands to gold. Just few minutes after our driver had talked with a mechanic he was on his way, and Krishna had also been able to get hold of one of the other drivers, named Peter. A driver I assumed had driven before us, and they decided Peter would come back to us, with his bus now empty, and pick us up. With our bags and sacks, we went outside to wait for Peter. He came superfast, and we all found some seats, and then the trip went further into Gallway. In Gallway, we had time to walk around and get us a bite to eat. Amazing city, lovely people, and over every street there were pennants and flags from all over the world. Because of a horse race festival the city was hosting. We were told to meet up with our bus again afterwards, now Peter had driven away, and we were all intrigued to find out how the tour bus company would manage to get us back to Dublin this evening. We didn’t have to worry. Krishna had arranged another bus with another bus driver to take us back. This bus was even better with two floors and a lavatory, and because of that, there was need for small stops, on our way to the capital. We had a very pleasant trip, and when we came closer to town, Christian informed us plenty of great museums, interesting places and pubs to visit. When we arrived at O'Connell Bridge, we were only 20 minutes behind the original plan. What a day! What a great day! A day that could have ended in chaos, but never did. We passengers felt at all time, greatly taken care of, and our guides (hats off for them!) solved everything in a perfect way! Also a big thanks to Peter and Willy? And Wild Rover Tours!

We were so impressed with our trip from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher. This was such a great way to see the stunning landscapes of Ireland in a short period of time on our week-long trip to Dublin. Ciara was our tour guide and provided so much interesting history and cultural information. She did a great job of making the driving time pass so quickly by keeping us engaged with stories and jokes while also letting us enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Billy was our driver and made great time and was a safe driver on the small, winding roads of the Wild Atlantic Way. He also had a great sense of humour and did well to add to Ciara's jokes. This was an excellent experience and we would recommend it to all who are travelling to Dublin.

The bus was pretty crowded and the seats could have used a wipe down and vacuum, but other than that, the tour was great! Sean (guide) and Krishna (driver) kept us on time and informed throughout the day and at every stop. Both were friendly and funny and Sean was incredibly informative all day. Our first stop was a shopping center in south Belfast where we had some time to use restroom and grab a bite or coffee at a little cafe. Then I did the Black Taxi Tour which was pretty intense. They dropped us off at the Titanic Experience and I spent a little time using the restroom in there and walking around the building and the docks. Then back on the coach to Dunluce Castle which was a great short stop to walk around the ruins and get some amazing photos. Then we had a good amount of time at Giant's Causeway. There's a little pub and a sit down restaurant at the hotel right there, but both were pretty crowded so I got some takeaway food from the hotel lobby and it was great! I did the longer cliff (red) hike which had some amazing views of the countryside, coastline, and Causeway from above. The stairs going down to the beach were a little steep and long but not terrible. The Causeway was super cool to walk around and the scenery was pretty amazing. I walked back along the coast and caught the coach, which did 1 last restroom stop on the way back to Dublin.

(Translated by Google) Our day in Northern Ireland will remain unforgettable! A huge thank you to our guide Dave for his humor, anecdotes, and insider tips! The 2-hour taxi tour of Belfast with our driver Emmanuel was informative and moving, as he shared his experiences and insights into the city's history and reality. The visit to Dunluce Castle was picturesque, with rain and beautiful scenery. As for the Giant's Causeway, it was unique and truly stunning! A big thank you to Wild Rover Tours! (Original) Notre journée en Irlande du Nord restera inoubliable ! Un grand merci à notre guide Dave pour son humour, ses anecdotes, ses "bons tuyaux" ! Le tour de 2 heures en taxi à Belfast avec notre chauffeur Emmanuel était instructif et émouvant car à travers son témoignage il nous a fait découvrir la réalité et le passé de Belfast. La visite du Château de Dunluce était pittoresque avec pluie et très beaux paysages. Quant à la Chaussée des Géants, c'était unique et très beau ! Un grand merci à Wild Rover Tours !

Me and my partner did the Cliffs of Moher and Galway day trip, our driver Krishna was a wizard at the wheel as some of the roads were incredibly tight and he was more than helpful to charge our phones during the trip. Our guide Tom was an absolute delight, very informative on the history of the area and sights and made sure to spend some time on the way back to talk to everyone individually which was nice and personal. Unfortunately it was quite foggy at the cliffs and didn't get to see as much as expected but still a great experience overall!

I had a wonderful time on and off board! Saw exceptionally beautiful views and the real highlight was seeing the Sheep dog Herding show and holding the farmer's lambs. Tour guide was great and was good at making sure we were all comfortable throughout the tour.

Great tour. Well worth the cost. We especially liked our guide Sean who told Irish stories on the bus which were interesting and helped keep us engaged on the journey. He is quite talented and well informed. Our driver was fantastic as well in keeping us safe throughout our trip. The bus was clean and modern and seemed like new. Highly recommend.

I went on the tour to Belfast from Dublin with Rory as our guide, and Brian our bus driver. The experience was phenomenal. We chose the Black Taxi Tour as our option in Belfast (you can choose from that or the Titanic Museum). The Black Taxi Tour was the right choice especially since they drop you off to the tour bus at the Titanic Museum so you get to see this museum for 10 min (outside, and inside first floor) even though you didn’t opt for it. The trip is extremely well planned out so you have the right amount of time for each experience. Dunluce Castle was stunning and if you’re a GOT fan then play Song of Fire and Ice on the mobile like I did while touring and it really gives a cool vibe. Giant’s Causeway was the highlight for me. We spent two hours here, and when it started raining at the very end we grabbed a Baileys Irish coffee and cheese platter at the Causeway Hotel atop the hill. The views of the Irish country side are a bonus… sheep and cows everywhere. The bus was new looking and comfortable, and has USB chargers for each seat so BRING YOUR PHONE CHARGER. I didn’t :( Rory was an OUTSTANDING guide- the drive went by quickly with his entertaining commentary- including Irish history and ‘dad jokes’. Rory took care to make sure everyone was on board and he gave clear times to be back at the bus for each stop. He was also extremely pleasant. I give our driver Brian a tip of the hat for his driving skills especially at the rainy end! 5 stars no doubt
