Good, just not worth the price.
Jayden_H, Apr 2024
I think for the price of around $90 USD, it's not really worth it for a day trip. I highly recommend just booking a rental car for the day and just driving to the cliffs, and then to Galway and other places instead. The bus limits what you can do and if you want to stay in places longer, and it leaves extremely early so you are a bit tired and aren't able to enjoy the full experience. Most people on our bus slept through most of the scenic portions due to the early depature.
Best day in ireland

We had a wonderfull day with ryan and mustapha. The most lively entertainer and best driver ever. Amazing stories, good beer and a beautiful country
Great day trip for Family
Richard_Y, Apr 2024
The tour was really enjoyable for my family. The coach was comfortable, the tour guide Jack was great and helpful and the stops were timed well. The cliffs were amazing. We had sunshine but it was extremely windy.
Fun lively tour led by a charismatic and entertaining guide
Bart_T, Apr 2024
Peter was an amazing guide for a memorable trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. The views were spectacular, and Peter filled the drive with fun stories of landmarks, Irish history, and Irish culture. He is by far one of the best guides I’ve ever had, and we were constantly entertained and laughing. Vedran was a smooth driver and got us to all of our stops on time.
Rachael made it a great experience
Richard_G, Apr 2024
Rachael with Finn McCools Tours made this trip great. There’s no getting around the 5+ hours spent on the bus leaving from Dublin. But, she appropriately used the time to give brief history lessons and local lore. The Cliffs, the Burren, and Galway City speak for themselves.
Exceptional place to visit.
Joni_B, Apr 2024
Guide Brian and driver Igor were excellent. Well organized. Would recommend Finn McCools and Viator.
Cool Tour Day, Highly Recommend
Kimberly_B, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was amazing. We loved Colin, he sang traditional Irish songs and gave us a great overview of all the sites. The Cliffs were beautiful and we had plenty of time in Galway to walk around and share a lovely meal. Would highly recommend!!
Great Day even in the rain
Kim_M, Apr 2024
It was a rainy, dreary day outside the bus but inside the bus Peter, our guide, kept us happy, comfortable and entertained through his storytelling. While we were not actually able to see the Cliffs due to heavy fog we enjoyed checking out the Visitor’s Center. Nicholas our bus driver was fantastic and maneuvered the narrow roads through the Burren safely and with ease. Galway was a great stop lots of shops and pubs to explore. It was a great day all around. Thank you Peter!
Great experience!

Our family had a blast. Gina was a great guide. The cliffs are a must see and the stops along the way made the day fly by.A very memorable day!
Chaos
jonathanhillman, Apr 2024
The mass chaos of tourists edging for first entry to the bus. Would you want to go on a trip with this kind of rude behavior?
Wolfpack for life
ANNA_G, Apr 2024
Had such a great time today on the trip. Organized, informative, fun and beautiful would highly recommend to anyone visiting Ireland!
Beautiful nature, average tour.
Ronald_G, Apr 2024
Cliffs are beautiful, the tour narrator was not very good and disorganized. Cliffs were cold, windy and not as spectacular as expected.
Gina and Jose were...
Tikva_V, Apr 2024
Gina and Jose were wonderful! Gina shared a lot of wonderful history and made the bus ride loads of fun. Lots of time at the cliffs and at Galway, but got back to Dublin at a reasonable time. Thank you!!
Great tour
Ainara_C, Apr 2024
Rachel and Saleh were amazing, we learned a lot from Ireland and the west Coast. We just would have liked a little more of time in Galway but I would totally recommend the tour.
Great for first time visitors
John_F, Apr 2024
Our tour guide and bus driver , Jack and Anna were the perfect way to kick off Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher was also the right way to start. It’s helps that the weather was great. The day was long but it was all worth it!

Absolutely gorgeous
Roy_B, Mar 2024
This was the perfect March Day. The temperature was 9c and the sun shone brightly. The cliffs are amazing. Jack was our guide and Anna was a master driving that bus through the narrow streets. Finn McCools staff are so helpful and respond quickly to any concerns. Quite delightful.
Fun times in beautiful locations
C_M, Mar 2024
Our guide Gina was great and full of humor. While it was a long day, it was well worth the visit. Highly recommend!
