County Galway Päiväretket

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.

Upea matka! Moherin kalliot ovat upeat. Burrenin merenranta on hämmästyttävä. Ja Galway on niin vauras ja viehättävä. Tärkein asia on turvallinen matka.

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, opas ja kuljettaja, oli mahtava! Hän tiesi niin paljon historiaa ja jakoi kaikki mielenkiintoiset faktat alueesta. Luostari oli kaunis, mutta Connemaran läpi ajaminen oli henkeäsalpaavaa. Meillä oli onnea ja saimme parhaan aurinkoisen ja selkeän sään.
