The trip and experience was excellent. Shane was awesome, his knowledge and wit made it a very entertaining trip. We actually took the Kylemore Abbey tour the following day and we were lucky to have Shane again. Although some of the information was repetitive, he still made it interesting and "craic" ( Irish for, fun)! I would recommend the tours, and if your lucky, you'll get Shane as your driver.

Lots of very interesting stops and everything was very well organised. Shane was a great guide with tons of historical and funny facts. Great discount on the cave tour too!

Shane was amazing. He not only got us to our destinations on time, but also got us back safely. He filled the trip with solid Irish historical facts and fun. He was also very open to one-on-one conversations. Thank you Shane for a great Cliff and cave day in Galway.
