Highly Recommend! - This tour was a highlight of our trip! John B was an excellent guide. We learned so much about Galway and the surrounding area from him. There are frequent stops at scenic places that allow you to stretch your legs. The bus is smaller than the large coach buses from other tour companies which allows for quicker loading/unloading. The tour schedule is designed so you are not at the cliffs and other stops when many of the other large tour buses are there. The seafood chowder at the lunch stop was delicious! We highly recommend this tour!

All Around Excellent - All around tour to give you views of the Cliffs of Moher, a local restaurant experience, and some cave exploration. Very good value for what you pay for and John (the tour guide/driver) did an excellent job educating us on the rich history and environment we were touring.

Great Tour to the Cliffs & More! - We went on the Cliffs of Moher tour with John B through Lilly Tours. We got lucky with absolutely INCREDIBLE weather! I don’t think John was able to control that, but it did make it easier for him to point things out on our drive and teach us more about the Irish history we were seeing. We stopped about every 30 minutes - Dungaire castle, Aillwee caves, the Cliffs, lunch, and Ballyryan. This was perfect to break up the trip, stretch, get some fresh air, and pics. We ate lunch at Fitz 30 mile - the best seafood chowder I’ve ever had in my life! We came from Dublin and took the City Link bus to and from Galway - organized through Lally Tours. I really appreciated being with a smaller group and how informative John B was throughout our day!

Great trip, awesome tours! - My sister and I went on the Cliffs of Mohr tour, including a ferry tour. The tour was amazing and the driver, Patrick, were great!! I loved the humor and historical information. And Patrick's driving skills, on the narrow Irish roads, was impressive to say the least! I would definitely book a tour with this company again! Thank you for a great trip!

Beautiful day and views - Our guide for this trip was awesome. He was great at making sure we were safe and was able to give us lots of stories and history of the area. Really enjoyed the cave experience and much more in addition to the Cliffs of Moher. Of course the cliffs were so beautiful and amazing to see. I would highly recommend this.
