Get a front seat! Great views, closer to driver to ask questions and see what he is talking about! Best if you get motion sick too. Seamus did a great job with comminicating and informing guests along the way.

We did the Cliffs of Moher tour and the Connemara tour. They were absolutely phenomenal! The guide Shane was the best tour guide I've ever had, so much interesting information told in a very well articulated way, answered all questions, and just had a great attitude. Would definitely recommend this. I was also able to meet other fellow solo travels on this tour and had a fun night with them afterwards!
