Our little visit to inishmore. Amazing tour our guide Ciaran (sorry if it's not properly written) was really friendly and gave us a lot of information about the place, history and several curiosities from inishmore, Galway and several places around. We enjoyed the day a lot and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to disconnect from the city for a couple of hours and have a friendly chat with your guide.

We had an amazing tour to the Cliffs of Moher! Shane was a fantastic tour guide who shared so much fascinating information about Ireland’s history and Celtic folklore. All the stops were great as was the pub in Doolin for lunch. Would absolutely recommend!

Had an awesome time on our tour yesterday. John B was a very kind and knowledgeable tour guide and driver. The tour was very well run and timed out, John did an excellent job giving pertinent info at each stop along the way, ensuring everyone returned on time and kept us on schedule throughout the day to maximize the value of the experience. Our tour stopped at a castle, caves, cliffs of Moher, Fitz’s restaurant, and at the “moonscape” along the coastline. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day trip to take in the sights and learn a bit of history about the Burren region.
