Excellent tour - It was everything as advertised and more. Highly recommend. From departure to return, a wonderful day. We were happy to see the sun. Blustery winds, but beautiful views. And must thank Steve or driver for safe, courteous bus operation and nuggets of information. Would use this team again.

ENJOY THE VIEW, STAY ON THE PATH - This was essentially a bus trip to the Cliffs, and a ride home, with some commentary. That was absolutely what we wanted. The Cliffs themselves are amazing and worth a trip. The last time I was here, I took the path to the right, up by a tower. This time we went to the left, which is less-traveled cliffside walk for about a mile or so. There's a clearly marked and bounded path, which a lot of people were ignoring (and apparently, falling to their deaths). Pro-tip: STAY ON THE MARKED PATH

Great transportation - This is the perfect way to get to the Cliffs of Moher from Galway. If you don’t care enough for a tour or to stay with a group, this is it! Perfect, simple transportation with more than enough time to explore and get great pictures! There was also charging ports and wifi which is a plus

Excellent way to see the Cliffs - Excellent tour. Perfect way to see the cliffs. Most tours were all day and we didn’t want to use a whole day. This as perfect. You got to see much of the countryside while driving and it was plenty of time to climb the cliffs. Bus was very spacious and comfortable.

Magical views - The view is stunning! Photos may do it justice but it’s worth the trip to walk the experience and the path with the audio tour. You can walk very far out and see the cliffs from all sides. It’s magical and well worth it as a half day trip.

A must do whilst visiting Galway. - The scenery on the bus from Galway to the Cliffs was spectacular. The Cliffs of Moher are a definite highlight of our visit to Galway and would highly recommend this tour. Would suggest you do the morning tour as it was getting very busy when we were leaving to head back.

Nice trip to the must-see Cliffs of Moher - The cliffs are amazing! I didn’t want to drive in Ireland (left side, narrow roads etc) so this was a good compromise for us. Our driver was great. There was an accident on the road which was impassable so we (along with many other busses and cars) just had to wait for it to be cleared. Our driver talked to us and gave us Galway tips during our wait. He even dropped several off right at the train station on our way back so that they wouldn’t miss their trains.

Awesome Tour! - Amazing visit to the cliffs. So nice that you can do the tour and walk around at your leisure. You can download the free app which has the audio tour at various stops along the path. Half day visit was plenty for us. 1.5 hr to and 1.5 back and 2 hours of cliff time.

Perfect half day trip - Our driver, Jimmy was full of information and my hubby and him talked almost the whole drive about fishing. He was kind and gave us tips on things to do in Galway and our next village, Kinsale. I’m very happy we decided to do the half day trip. Go early, it gets very busy at the Cliffs in the afternoon.

Plenty of tours to the Cliffs, choose a different one. - When the tour started, the woman who checked us in and put us on the bus was very kind and pleasant. That’s about where the “welcome” feeling ended. Our driver didn’t have a word to say when we got on. The ride was completely silent from there on out. We thought this was really odd, we’ve probably done near a dozen tours between two trips to Ireland, and we’ve never seen a tour this dry and uninteresting. The only words spoken to us, after arriving at the cliffs of moher 30 minutes late, was “be back at 3:30, don’t be late”. So now our experience was cut short, and there didn’t seem to be any attempt to accommodate this by the driver. It’s a good thing we were back at 3:30, because we were leaving the parking lot at 3:31. Driver didn’t even bother to head count his bus. I didn’t count myself but it certainly felt emptier on the way back. We were particularly disappointed because we picked this tour specifically because the Cliffs were the only stop, and we wanted as much time as possible to explore everything. If the selling point of the tour is that the Cliffs are the only focus, I would have that they would put more effort into making the Cliffs experience as long as possible.
