Breathtaking landscapes all through out the tour! - Our guide, Gary, was fantastic! The stops in between Galway and the cliffs were beautiful and learning about them on the way via Gary’s jokes and history lessons made it all the more special. The tour was from 10am-6pm with 2 hours at the Cliffs. I really wished we had a bit more time because it was so breathtaking.
One note - if you have dietary restrictions (ex: vegan), pack a separate lunch. The stop we took didn’t have any options, but the pub food was fantastic for those without restrictions.

The BEST Cliffs of Moher experience with Gary - This was a wonderful tour. The best part? Our driver/guide Gary! He was our driver/guide 9 years ago when I visited Ireland with my husband and daughter. How lucky am I to have this experience!?! The Cliffs of Moher are incredible! And we had nice weather this time! I would do it all over again if I could!

Gary is the best! - We had such an amazing tour. After having our Aran Islands tour cancelled to due the winds from Storm Kathleen, this tour was such an unexpected, wonderful experience. All of the sites were interesting and beautiful. Our driver and guide, Gary, was fantastic. He was informative of each stop, the landscape, and Irish customs/culture. Could not have asked for a better tour.
