Excellent tour! - We could not have asked for a better tour or tour guide for this excursion! John B did a wonderful job of filling us in on the geographical and historical highlights on the way from Galway to the cliffs of moher. The tour bus was very comfortable and Made the eight hour round-trip enjoyable as well. I would definitely recommend touring the caves. Such a beautiful country and a great way to visit it.

Don’t Miss This One! - This was such a fun tour! Our guide and bus driver, John B., was the best of all the tour guides we had during our 10-days in Ireland. He was fun and knowledgeable, and he shared his knowledge from a personal perspective. The trip was very well planned, down to each detail. We really needed more time at the Cliffs of Moher, but apparently, the tour company is only allotted a certain amount of time. The little hotel where we had lunch in Doolin had really good food. Other than feeling a little rushed here and there, it was a fantastic day! I would recommend it!

Outstanding family trip from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher, the Buyrren andDoolin with Lally Tours out of Galway. - Eight family members took a day trip to Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Doolin. A beautiful day, with fantastic scenery not only at the Cliffs, but along the way. Our driver was John B from Lally Tours out of Galway-his wealth of information about the areas, along with his great personality and kindness made for a unforgettable trip!

Incredible Cliffs of Moher day trip!!! - We had such a wonderful day with our tour guide, Mack (think that’s his name!!). The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful and while we had heard it could be accomplished on our own, we were so glad we had a guide and a tour. I would not have wanted to navigate that drive without someone who knew how to do it! Lunch was great and Burren was also very beautiful. The drive itself was just amazing. The guide was kind and told us lots of fun facts about the area. He knew all the spots and gave great advice. Overall we had a fun time, I would do this tour again!!
