County Galway Dagtrips

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.

Geweldige reis! De Cliffs of Moher zijn spectaculair. De kustlijn van Burren is prachtig. En Galway is zo welvarend en charmant. Het belangrijkste aspect is een veilige reis.

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.

Het was een zeer goede tour. Voor het verkennen van de grotten moete je extra betalen, maar ik denk zeker dat je mee moet doen. Voor de lunch wordt er ongeveer een uur uitgetrokken bij een restaurant of pub. Tijdens de tour zorgde de chauffeur en gids Shawn voor een hele leuke en duidelijke uitleg over allerlei zaken. Hij kon ook heel goed rijden, waardoor we met een gerust hart konden meegaan. Ik raad deze tour ten zeerste aan.

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
