Great day visiting Cliffs and Burren - My mother and I had an amazing time with our tour guide and bus driver Gary! He was very knowledgeable, full of fun facts about our route, and added a bit of the Irish humor that we love.
Bus was clean and comfortable with just the appropriate number of stops for the time allotted. We enjoyed all of our stops and felt like we had enough time at each one. Would definitely recommend!

Cliffs of Moher Tour - This was an amazing tour! The spot in Doolin for lunch was delicious! We had about 1.75 hours to spend at the Cliffs of Moher, which gave you enough time to go for a little hike to see the different views of the cliffs! The view was spectacular. Our tour guide did an amazing job providing us with information on the area while not being overbearing. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

A must do if you are staying in Galway! - I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see some of Western Ireland’s most beautiful landscapes and historical sites! The tour is very well organized, I felt that the time spent at each location was appropriate (never felt rushed), and the guide was outstanding. Gary was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and funny.
