County Galway Day trips

The success of tours like this are heavily dependent on the tour guide. Lisa was an exceptional tour guide. She pointed out different landmarks and attractions on our way to the Cliffs of Moher, Burren, and Galway. She answered questions we had about Ireland through storytelling, and on the bus she played music by various Irish artists as she taught us more about Irish history and culture. My trip was on the second Sunday of October. It was very chilly and windy at the Cliffs. There was rain here and there but it wasn’t heavy.

Wonderful trip! Cliff of Moher is spectacular. The Burren seaside is amazing. And Galway is so prosperous and charming. Most important aspect is a safe journey.

The guide's (name Porrick? couldn't catch it as people kept talking at back of bus despite him asking them not to) dry humour unfortunately flew past the heads of most but I appreciated it, the stories & history he provided were comprehensive. It is a big bus & many hours on the road but the guide tried his best to fill in the time even playing his own instrument. Driver Billy made the ride smooth. Most train tickets are sold out for bank holiday weekend so this trip saved the hassle and costs about the same. Sadly visited the cliffs too late as the section that I wanted to walk is closed after 2024.

It was a very good tour. There was an extra charge to explore the caves, but I highly recommend doing it. For lunch, they give you about an hour at a restaurant or pub. Throughout the tour, our driver and guide, Sean, was very entertaining and provided clear explanations for everything. He was also an excellent driver, making us feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour.

Jerry the Guide and Driver was Amazing! He knew so much history and shared all interesting facts about the region. The Abbey was beautiful but driving through Connemara was breathtaking, we lucked out and had the best sunny and clear sky weather
