Foggy but fun

5.00Tommy was a great guide for our trip out to the Cliffs of Moher. He was the perfect mix of facts, stories and bad jokes. Sadly, the weather was not great, so we couldn’t see much. I guess we will have to come back!
Like a dream!

5.00It was a wonderful trip! My English isn't perfect, but the bus driver + tour guide (2in1) was very helpful. It has been a long-standing dream of mine to see the Cliffs of Moher. Thanks!

5.00This tour was amazing. Thanks to Galway Tour and especially to Patrick; he is the perfect guide: professional, experienced and with a great sense of humor. He gave us so many interesting information about Ireland and Irish people throughout the whole day. We will never forget the beauty of the places we have visited. This tour it's the perfect solution if you want to visit the area without driving or without spending hours on planning. The tour arrangement was smooth and easy through Viator. I totally recommend this experience if you're in Galway.l

Cliffs of Moher and The Burren, with Gary from GTC

4.00Cliffs of Moher and Burren tour (Bought on Viator and done with Galway Tour Company) Gary was our driver and guide (how can you concentrate on driving those narrow roads and sharp turns, while talking and animating us?! It amazes me!) . The first part of the tour was a lot of explanation on dry stone walls formation, interesting explanation on activities done here (the oyster festival, the hookers boats gathering, a bit on religion, etc.). I could have had more on Ireland’s history. Don’t walk around the Dunguaire Castle (narrow path of seeing nothing). Poulnabrone so much smaller in real than on the picture!! Still a nice mythical visit. The Gann’s Pub -where we stopped for lunch- was not “fare prices”. You would think that when a company brings in a group of 40-50 clients, they’d do special “group” pricing. Think about negotiating that, GTC !! Lots of nice view while driving. Cliffs of Moher are gorgeous, very impressive. Totally worth the tour. Didn’t see any puffins unfortunately, too far. If you can, bring binoculars with a far view (zoom). After the Atlantic edge walking on the “volcanic” stones, the drive back was smooth, love seeing the Irish country side, with cows, sheeps, horses and donkeys, with little typical cottages!

5.00This is a great excision, albeit, an all day affair! The driver/tour guide was excellent, told so many stories and shared the history of the country and the area. I have a renewed sense of pride for Ireland (I am not Irish) who spent 800+ years under British rule and as recent as 1922, became independent. We lived this tour…
