a great day - A great way to spend the day and see a combo of Ireland's landscape and be able to be on the water to view the Cliffs of Moher and to visit one of the Aran Islands. I splurged for the e- bike on Inisheer and it was so fun to be able to circumnavigate the entire island in the 90 minute window. Our guide was fantastic- great explanation of what was around us with enough silent time to take it all in. There were 14 of us on the tour, which was a great number. The lunch at Una's was lovely- 15 euros for a simple lunch with some good stories about her personal experience growing up on the island and the changes she's seen. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour

City Tour Galway - The Galway City Tour is great, got a a good insight into the history of Galway and surrounding areas, it’s quite cheap. The seats on the bus are very comfortable. The drivers are funny, making good jokes etc…

Great Help With A Memorable Day - We were in Galloway for the day and wanted to make the most of our time while there. Consulted with Barry who took the time to first understand what our interests are, and then helped map out a plan for us. It was perfect, and helped make for a memorable day. Interacting with Barry, and his good-humored professionalism, was definitely part of the fun.

Average - There was nothing wrong with this tour, it was informative and took you around Galway, but I’ve been on Hop-On/Off tours by the same company that were much more interactive, lively, and well timed. I had a hard time finding where and when to catch the bus, so I was nervous if I got off I’d have more trouble trying to get back on. Turns out there was a time table but I only saw it posted on the actual bus, which did me no good when trying to find a stop.

Disappointing - This was a disappointing trip. When I go to a new city I like to orient myself with a Hop On Hop Off bus to check out the area. This bus doesn't travel frequently (sat for a half hour after pulling into the main pick up place) and the entire route only took 60 minutes. I don't recommend it in such a small area.

Did not offer much - Disappointing tour. Was a reverse direction due to marathon race, but the commentary was sparse to say the least, with no additions from the driver. Did nothing to enhance our visit to Galway. We use these tours to develop ideas from locals at places to visit, not in this case! Was mostly a drive around some neighborhoods.

Not hop on hop off - Not a hop on hop off if there are only four buses all day… recorded tour that does a 30 minute loop, it’s fine but it should just be called a scheduled buss tour with option to take it again.
