No hassle day!

Bogdan was amazing and has a ton of information. Great driver and able to pinch hit and move our tour up an hour, Enjoyed lunch at fishing vlg too!

Perfect way to experience the Cliffs of Moher and the countryside!

Sandy_R, May 2024

The Cliffs of Moher tour with Patrick was amazing! It was awesome to hear and experience the area with a local resident. Our stops along the way at the sheep herding demonstration and the Abbey were greater than expected. The Cliffs were breathtaking! I was a bit surprised that the few costs incurred along the way (parking at the cliffs and the dog demo) were not included in the price of the tour. One additional suggestion would be to provide a microphone for the driver so all of the passengers can equally hear him.

So fun!

John Morrissey made us feel like his long lost cousins from America….a true gentleman. We loved seeing and learning about local history….the little things you get from a local. He went above and beyond to make the tour feel like it was our tour and not a predestined tour. The Cliffs are awesome but John’s story along the way was by far the value added.

An amazing experience

Cheryl_K, Apr 2024

The tour was great and Hugo was amazing. Even though the weather was a bit cold and rainy, it was still spectacular and we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. He adjusted it to meet our requests and we got to see everything we hoped for. Thank you Hugo!

Wild Atlantic Way with a touch of sunshine!

Daniel_D, Apr 2024

We had the pleasure of spending a beautiful day with Soren. He took us to the dog demonstration as well as the cliffs, but even did a couple side things so that we could get pictures along the way and we’re running ahead of schedule. Prompt arrival, safe driving and wonderful with all the questions we had about Ireland. Added bonus… we seemed to stay ahead of the rain and were able to see the cliffs and stay dry… a quick shower we did have while driving gave us a beautiful rainbow at the beach.. Irish luck was certainly on our side. All in all…a perfect day. I would totally recommend others to book!

Glad we picked this tour

Matthew_B, Nov 2023

John was terrific! He knew the best way to see the cliffs. One that avoided the crowds and made it a very short walk to the beautiful views. We also got to visit hidden gems of the area. Definitely an experience that I couldn’t have put together myself. Add onto that the fact not only didn’t I have to drive, which allowed me a Guinness at a local pub, but that we spent the day traveling in luxury, and I can’t recommend this highly enough.

Go see the country side when in Ireland

Jimmy_M, Nov 2023

I had a really great time. First of all, John is the best! Thank you John for taking me through memorable experiences. From start to finish, it just flew so smoothly. I think private tour is the way to go, if you don't want to be stuck in a big bus with limited itenary. John took me through multiple castles and allowed for plenty of photo opportunities. He drove me through the country side, which was beautiful. Highlights of the trip was the Caherconnel sheep dog show, very unique experience to see the dogs herd the sheep s through. Cliff of Moher is obviously magnificent. Corcomroe Abby is also fantastics. Ask for John. You won't be disappointed. He's very professional, friendly, and knows the spots well. Highly recommended.

Best tour of our vacation!

SUSAN_D, Oct 2023

Our guide added many stops with historic details along the way and also on the way back. The length of the tour was much longer simply because he knew we were enjoying ourselves so much. We toured through 6 countries in Europe and the UK and we all agreed that this was our most agreeable tour. We were very lucky as the weather was fantastic and we had gorgeous views throughout!

Galway to the Cliffs and much more

WILLIAM_M, Oct 2023

Pat was awesome! Very knowledgeable and informative guide. So happy to have spent the day touring with him. Thanks Pat!! 👍🏻🍀

Perfect way to tour the Cliffs without the hassle of large tour group.

Jimmy_S, Oct 2023

Great experience with knowledgeable driver. We had a great day and our driver even arranged dinner reservations for us in Galway after our tour.

Awesome

Morgan_S, Sep 2023

We had an amazing time with our guide Patrick and would definitely recommend him again. We were picked up directly from our BnB and Patrick made sure to hit our asks and added in anything he thought we would be interested in.

Must do while in Galway!

Pamela_C, Jul 2023

John Morrissey was our tour guide and he really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day! We traveled in comfort and he included water bottles throughout the day. John tailored the day to our interests and was very informative with the sites we say. He was able to do extra stops throughout the day to go see sites we wouldn't have thought to go see without his expertise. He was also able to take us to a different entrance to the Cliffs of Moher so we didn't have to walk as long up to the cliffs and took pictures of us as well! A few highlights of the day include Dunguaire castle, chocolate factory, Corcomroe Abbey, sheep dog demonstration (so good!), Portal Tomb, had lunch at Gus O'Connor's Pub, and Cliffs of Moher. I would HIGHLY recommend booking this tour! We were able to see so much in this day and we are so happy that we had John to guide us!!

Wonderful guide.

MartiE_F, Jul 2023

Very comfortable 7-passenger Mercedes van. Bogdan took us to many extra stops such as a castle, sheep dog demonstration, chocolate factory, ancient burial site, Atlantic Ocean beach in addition to the Cliffs. Perfect for our 6-member family.

Treasure

Christie_S, Jul 2023

The Cliffs of Moher are a treasure. Busy? Yes. But we didn't find them overcrowded. If you are up for a hike, I would recommend carving out extra time to walk end to end.

Perfect day

Monica_S, Jul 2023

We loved our trip! Our driver took us to wonderful places and never rushed us. We would book it again!

Five star experience!

Jamie_B, Jul 2023

Amazing experience! Sean was lovely, very informative and catered to our requests and answered all of our questions. He shared lots of fun stories, highly recommend!

Professional and Friendly Tour Guide

Michael_P, Jun 2023

John our driver was the most professional and friendly tour guide we have ever had. The car was big and comfortable and he provided water. He made a few interesting stops on the way to the cliffs. He made a stop at a sheepdog demonstration, which we found fascinating.

The cliffs are beautiful....

RONALD_S, Jun 2023

The cliffs are beautiful. Our driver, Owen, was very accommodating for one of us who had a walking issue.

Great excursion!

Karen_S, Jun 2023

Great experience! Cliffs were amazing. We were there for over 2 hours and it wasn’t enough time. We booked a full day tour and we’re unable to visit doolin on the way back to Galway. We got back an hour and a half late. Our driver was very sweet and cool about us extending our trip. Seeing the sheep herding dog demonstration was a little out of the way but SO glad we did that. It was amazing!!
