The taxi costs €20 minimum or €5pp if there are 4 or more people on the tour. You can pay this directly to the taxi man on the day. At approximately 3:30 pm, you will be driven back to Galway in our private transportation. You will arrive back in Galway at approximately 5pm.

Excellent excursion! So glad we did this small group hike. Phil was the best. Informative with a hilarious delivery and fun storytelling. We loved our time with him. Freya was also on the hike and we enjoyed talking with her. She also shared some great information. The shuttle to Doolin was really good and Shawn gave us some great information during our ride with a few nice stops along the way. Highly recommend this tour.
Gus was an excellent driver who stopped to show us sights along the way to our destination. Murphy was our excellent hiking guide who told us bits of history along the way and kept us entertained. Our hike was stunning, uncrowded and views unbelievable! So nice to skip the crowded visitors center and fees!
I highly recommend this tour. It was small, and the guide, Phill, was fantastic. Phill kept us laughing and had lots of interesting info to share. And getting to experience the Cliffs on a hike is the best way (we also saw them from the water and if I had to choose one or the other, I'd definitely pick the small group hike). Phill picked us up in Galway, took us to Doolin, and was our guide along the hike. He stopped periodically for us to take pictures and share interesting facts. He would take our picture for us along the way too, so we were able to get some great (non-selfie) group shots. After the hike, we ate lunch in Doolin and then headed back to Galway. It was the perfect tour!
Our driver Gus was excellent, he stopped at beautiful spots along the way and was great at telling us about the local area. Our hiking guide Murphy was also excellent! He helped gave us a lot of interesting history that I never would have figured out on our own and took us to the perfect Cliffs of Moher spot while also avoiding the visitors center. Worth the price!
What breath taking views. Cearbhuil was a fabulous guide. She was knowledge able about the cliffs, the history, the farm lands and much more! Lisa and Rob from Long Island NY
We spent a great day with Murph (our driver) and Sean (our guide) and enjoyed the tour. The cliffs are humbling, the walk is not too demanding, and Olli's team is very welcoming and friendly. Both of them shared a lot of insightful stories from Irish history and local folklore as well as some good tips for food and snacks. I would do the tour again and would recommend you do the same. 🙂 Thank you Murph, Sean, Freya and Ollie, and if you are ever in Macedonia, let's have a Skopsko. 🍺
Dee made the trip. I’ve wanted to do this trip for decades and she made it match my highest expectations. I wish the tour noted to bring tip euro.
Hey Alan 👋 Thank you so much for your review! It is fantastic you finally got to tick the Cliffs of Moher off your bucket list 🥳 I am glad you had a good time 😊
This was a wonderful way to see the Cliffs of Moher. Murph was a great guide, thoughtful and funny. He kept us moving, but also filled us in on the history of the cliffs and Ireland. We did this hike on our last day in Ireland and it was a wonderful way to wrap up our time here. I can’t recommend this experience enough.
Hey! Thank you so much for your review 🥳 I am happy to hear you enjoyed your Cliffs of Moher Tour with Murph, he is a very knowledgable guide 😎 Thanks for coming with us 🧡
Phil made our hike to the Cliffs of Moher incredibly fun, interesting and so worthwhile. He is the best!
Phil was a hard working and wonderfully entertaining tour guide. We had a small group of 7 people and really enjoyed the day. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that I thought that after we hiked up, we would be hiking down too. But we took a taxi down. I’m sure some people enjoyed that though!
