10/10 - Barry and Garry are amazing! I did a small group tour and was solo and bad the time of my life. Well worth your time, and very enjoyable. Bring anti nausea meds for the boat ride though.

10/10 - Wow! What a day! Can't pick a highlight... spectacular views of the Cliffs, visit to Inis Oirr (would recommend seeing the island on the carriage ride). Our tour guide Barry was great - GRMA 🇮🇪!

Galway Bay in a day - I loved to see the Cliffs of Moher from the sea this time. May 18th I saw them standing on the top, also very impressive. Both times Phil was our guide, I was happy to see him again. He knows a lot and shares that with us with humor and in a way I can process it. He's a very kind person. Also being on Inis Oírr was nice, even the weather was nicer than expected. Also driver Ash did a good job (so did Maurice 18/5).

Don’t miss this one! - Phil, our guide, was an absolute delight … one of the best we’ve ever had! He was very knowledgeable, told countless stories and kept the group in stitches all day! The tour takes you all the way around Galway Bay, first by van and then by ferry. The Cliffs, the Burren and Inisheer are all very scenic. We finished up greatly increasing our understanding of the area and Ireland in general. Super tour!

Great experience with our guide Barry. Beautiful views of The Burren, Cliffs of Moher and Inisheer. - 5 stars. Guide was informative, friendly and fun. The views were beautiful. The Burren was an something new for me. I was extremely happy that we stopped there. I recommend taking motion sickness precautions for the ferry. It was enjoyable though. The views of the cliffs were fabulous.

Take this fabulous tour, you won’t be sorry. - I give this tour a 10. Sean, our guide, and Fionon, our driver, were exceptional. Sean is very knowledgeable about Galway, its history and its culture. He speaks both English and Gaelic fluently. He was easy to understand in English and a delight to hear in Gaelic. His commentary was insightful and broadened my understanding of the area. Fionon was a careful and conscientious driver on very challenging narrow roads which had to be shared with other vehicles, walkers and cyclists.

Not good - Started great with the hotel pickup. Unfortunately we did not realize until 10 hours later that they do not drop off where they pick you up. Wagon rides on rhe island are not worth it. Not sure why i was rushed through lunch just to sit on wagon until 3 other wagons were filled. Every boat ride we were involved in were standing room only because we had to wait on group to be counted and then boarded last. To finish the day; bus ride for an hour with no ac Would not suggest this company or tour
