Stunning views - We had so much fun. Gary the driver and guide was full of stories and fascinating historical information. We made multiple stops. Each one provides us with some perspective on Ireland, it’s history, and the Irish spirit. Cool!

Great time on Cliff's Tour - Our bus driver, PAUL, was amazing! He told us antidotes and stories and history of all the areas we passed through on our way from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher. It made for a very interesting and engaging trip. We had plenty of time at the Cliffs to visit all the spots, including the exhibition and gift shop. We had a wonderful lunch stop in Doolin. It was a wonderful for the whole tour (Noon to 7 PM) and we appreciated how well organized it all was from registration to implementation!

Great day trip with pleasant commentary and beautiful views. - Great trip with several points of interest including a 16th century tower house and a megalithic dolmen, ending of course in the fantastic view at the Cliffs and a short stop to walk through the Burren’s lunar landscape. The lunch stop in the pub is quick but service is efficient and the food was great. Our guide and driver Gary was lovely, hilarious, attentive and a great storyteller. He kept us smiling during the whole trip with jokes, fairy stories, information on thatched roofs and loose stone walls… Overall a great trip to get in as many stops as possible without feeling rushed.
