It’s a long day, but would recommend!

Antonio and Peter were excellent guides. There was a bit of a delay at the first rest stop because of a bus issue however they managed to recoup the time and we still got almost the full 2 hours at the Cliffs and the Galway city and back by 8.30pm. They were especially considerate of us because we had plans back in Dublin that evening that we didn’t want to miss despite the delay and tried to make sure they weren’t disrupted - top blokes!

Antonio had great information that he shared in short bursts throughout the drive, so it was interesting and not droning on. He also offered good local tips for the rest of our stay.

The cliffs were beautiful though part of the pathway and tower was closed due to weather this time of year, still amazing views and worth the trip.

Galway was nice and had a little Christmas market on, I don’t really rate the ice cream recommendation we were given, but the pub was decent and cosy.

Overall a worthwhile experience
Amazing trip

Richard was a fabulous tour guide and Owen a funny and skilled driver. This was a perfect tour of the Cliffs and Galway with so much information given on the way. And the jokes... Hilarious.

Brilliant day with Suzanne and Warren, our guide and driver respectively.

The drive across Ireland goes through some stunning scenery, the west coast is beautiful.

The cliffs of Moher are seriously impressive, and two hours there feels the right amount of time. I recommend taking walking boots though, especially if you plan on walking along the cliffs as the path was a little flooded in places.

Galway seems very nice from the time spent there, the free museum is a must. Again, two hours felt like a good amount of time to spend there.

Would recommend to everyone visiting Dublin, it’s a long day, but definitely worth it!

David and Sarah were phenomenal tour guides and provided plenty of information to the historical landmarks we passed by, in addition to seeing the beautiful views on the west side. This was the best trip we’ve been on!
A little bit of everything!

David and Paolo were awesome!!! David shared Irish songs and history along the way which made the drive time fun and interesting. The Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking! Galway City was fun with shops, dining, and street music. The Wild Atlantic Way left me wanting to spend days exploring the entire route! Would recommend this trip to everyone!
