Great scene at Cliffs of Moher, chill afternoon in Galway, though time arrangement is a bit tight of this one-day tour. Suggest to cut the schedule for buying breakfast, as nearly nothing can do within 30 minutes, a long queue to toilet and full house of tourists waiting to pay for breakfast.

The tour guide is very good, the scenery is beautiful, it is worth going, the tour time is sufficient, and we can return to Dublin on time. It is worth recommending.

Our tour guide was Peter 10, a very professional and careful gentleman. He explained everything from history to modern times, from the palace to civilians. He was very knowledgeable and humorous, and it was not tiring to listen to him. The driver drove very smoothly and sat at ease. We were surprised to go to Galway in the afternoon. It was a very beautiful town. The cathedral was unique and worth seeing. Nora's former residence was not open and only the exterior could be seen. Murphy's ice cream was also delicious. We wanted to visit the university campus. On the way, we asked for directions and met a local family. They told us how to get there warmly and attentively. Although it was a short stop of one or two hours, it left us with good memories.

The tour guide explained humorously. He would count the number of people before departure at each stop, and write the door opening time and departure time on the small whiteboard. I was lucky to be able to take pictures of the natural scenery on a sunny day. 06:30 Hugh Lane Gallery. When I arrived, I saw at least 6 tour buses. I found one by myself and checked before getting on the bus. The bus departed at 06:47, 08:30-08:50 Barack Obama Plaza rest stop, 10:30-12:30 Cliffs of Moher, 12:50-13:10 Seershin Viewpoint, 14:40-16:40 Galway, 19:20 back to Dublin and get off near Ha'penny Bridge.

It is a worthwhile trip. You can meet tourists from all over the world. The scenery is beautiful. Galway is a tourist town. Everyone is very chill. The Cliffs of Moher are friendly and you can push a baby stroller up there. I highly recommend it.

This is the itinerary you must choose! The tour guide was meticulous and the meeting point was easy to find. The handover was humorous and the handover was very careful. The Cliffs of Moher are a must-go, otherwise you will regret it == and you must take the cruise. It will be crazy if the weather is good. It's super explosive and beautiful
