Ireland at its best! - The lunch was well organized and the chliffs of Moher were fantastic. The weather a bit rainy and foggy, the perfect setting. The stop at the chocolate and “the dwarf castle” was not necessary for me. No added value. The guide told many fun facts

An absolutely fantastic experience. - The tour guide whose name was Patrick if I remember correctly, was absolutely excellent. He would knowledgeable, humorous and in good spirits throughout. The small stops at the castle and chocolate house was absolutely fantastic. The time allotment at the cliffs was adequate and the ride back equally enjoyable as the outward trip.

Cliffs of Moher: A Must See - Excellent, informative commentary along the way to the Cliffs, with a few well-timed stops and gorgeous scenery. Our chauffeur/guide, Gerry, was first-rate, serving us well with his knowledge and a sense of humor.

Enjoyable, Intimate Experience - This trip was amazing! It was in a van and not a huge tour bus, and the driver got to know everyone. It was very easy to make friends on the trip and ask questions about the cultures of other people present, and the staff/driver did every activity with us and seemed extremely enthusiastic about getting to do everything and see the sights he’s seen so many times. I would absolutely recommend this trip and company to anyone wanting to see the Cliffs of Moher. It was a 10/10 experience especially for the cost, and really made my trip.

Amazing day with Paddy! - This tour exceeded our expectations. Paddy and Brendan were outstanding guides. Paddy is extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves teaching visitors about his country. We had lovely stops and the time at the Cliffs was perfect. The bus was clean and comfortable.

Breathtaking - The views were amazing, we have taken a lot of photos. The tour itself was also very nice, we were driven by Damien. He stopped along the way and explained why that very place was so special. So the drive itself was also worth our while!

Loved the Cliffs and stops along the way! - Cliffs were great! Drivers microphone was hard to hear a good part of the trip. He had did talk about relevant stuff when he could be heard. The time at the Cliffs was great at 2 hours. The drops along the way and hearing how the Irish were living at the time of the Potato famine was interesting.
