What a great day!! BoBo was not only very professional, he was also fun and informative!! The ride out was entertaining and the knowledge of the trips views and history were on point! Driving on those small roads and the now famous "Left Turn" were done with patience and skill. Songs and witty jokes along the way made this a fun tour. Not to mention the actual Cliffs and Galway! Thanks BoBo "How you doin'"
Lovely whole day trip, a bit of time in cliffs a bit if time in Galway. Absolutely great guide Christopher and driver Steve, very funny and knowledgeable
Sadly this experience was not at all delightful nor what the itinerary entailed. Our first tour guide on our first bus was amazing; so fun and knowledgeable about Irish history, the bus was clean and comfortable. About 1.5 hrs, give or take, the bus had some troubles and we ended up pulling off the road and barely made it to the petrol station up the road. We waited at the petrol station for a good while before we were put aboard a different tour bus with a different guide (this new bus was a different tour already going to the Cliffs). The new bus was horrible: food crusties were on the seats, the bus was hot, it was not a comfortable ride. Our bus driver blew through 3 very much red lights. The bus driver was not friendly, didn’t speak to us or keep us updated in regard to the itinerary. Due to the bus issue, the tour ended up being rushed. The itinerary was shortened significantly to account for lost time. It was not an enjoyable experience, especially with the lack of time given to actually enjoy the sites. Spent more time on the bus than we did experiencing the excursions. On top of that, we missed 2 of the itinerary stops…. I reached out to Viator with this complaint and was given the generic, “through our investigation, this tour met all expectations”. So we are out all the $ and time wasted….
This was a full day, but one that I would happily do again. The journey from Dublin took us through some beautiful Irish countryside, and the changing scenery made the long drive part of the experience. The Cliffs of Moher were the main reason for booking the tour, and they did not disappoint. Seeing the cliffs rising dramatically above the Atlantic was one of those moments that photographs simply cannot capture. The Burren was another highlight, with its unusual landscape and completely different character. I also enjoyed the stop in Galway. Although the time there was limited, it was enough to get a feel for the city’s lively atmosphere and charm. Our guide added a lot to the experience with interesting stories, history, and information along the way. The trip was well organized, and having everything arranged made it much easier than trying to visit these places independently in one day. If you’re staying in Dublin and want to experience some of Ireland’s most spectacular scenery, I would definitely recommend this tour. Beautiful landscapes, great memories, and a day well spent.
It was a bit early to get up, but then you have something, haha. It was an interesting trip and there was usually plenty of time to look around. The driver who introduced himself as Bobo, told cheerfully and enthusiastically and managed to captivate us all day with lots of information (and jokes in between) which made the day a complete success for us. We have a good idea of an extra piece of history in Ireland. Bobo thank you!
My friend and I were very excited about this tour during our trip to Ireland, but unfortunately it was not at all as advertised. Our initial guide was very nice, but about an hour into the journey, our bus broke down and we have to pull over at a rest stop and wait for new busses to come get us, which threw us 2 hours off schedule. Our new driver was not a tour guide so we did not get any commentary or interesting facts about the places we were supposed to go to. Because we were so far off schedule, we had to cut out Fanore and the Burren national park, which was a huge bummer. Even though we had to cut out half of the stops due to timing, we did not get even partially reimbursed for our tickets. Overall the team was very nice but the trip definitely did not go as advertised. Would recommend trying a different company
Weather wás perfect and our driver was so nice, even sang songs for us and very knowledgeable. Just wish we had more time in Galway.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so pleased you had a great experience and hope you made some unforgettable memories in Ireland.
Ireland from coast to coast in a day! Cliffs were beautiful, and Galway was bright and fun. It was a fast visit to both of those places, though.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your tour with us. We hope to welcome you back on another Irish adventure soon!
Its a lot of bang for you buck ! See lots in one day. It was a fully packed bus. I may have enjoyed a slightly smaller tour. They make it so easy to get to the cliffs !!! Our lunch stop was a great little pub. Driver was good, felt safe on those Narrow Roads.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the Cliffs of Moher, the lunch stop, and felt safe with your driver on Ireland's narrow roads. We're glad you felt the tour offered great value and made it easy to see so much in one day. We hope to welcome you back on another Irish adventure soon!
