best day in Galway - Everything was just perfect, starting from the weather. Paddy and Hans are a fantastic team. The guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, with a wonderful sense of humour. I learnt a lot about Irish culture and history. The cliffs just take your breath away (also literally as the winds up there are really ferocious).

Great tour! - Phil was amazing! We’ve done lots of tours and he was the best. He has so many interesting facts to share and even organized a quick stop to a chocolate factory for us. Would definitely reccomend. Did not feel like 8 hours on a bus!

Great way to see the Cliffs of Moher! - Everything I’d hoped for on my trip to Cliffs of Moher. Gerry was a wonderful host for the day. The day was perfectly planned with a nice balance of listening to commentary, exploring at various stops, and relaxing on the bus. So glad we had the full 2 hours at the cliffs. Highly recommend this tour and would absolutely go on another trip with Gerry.

Peace of mind with nature. - This experience was masterful, worth every penny I paid for it. We took it with Wildrover tours. The team of David as a guide and Marko as a bus driver was very good and safe. The information that David handles is very accurate, he is a very professional guide, as well as the time management at technical stops and at the sites visited. The Cliffs of Moher is a must-visit place for everyone who comes to Ireland, it was a place that conveys a lot of peace due to the connection with nature that one makes with the simple fact of being there. The view of the Burren coastal area on the way to Galway is very beautiful, the city of Galway has its typical nuances of a small but cozy city in the interior of Ireland where there is a lot of cordiality and attention to tourists. It is another excursion that I highly recommend taking if you come to Ireland.

Amazing tour guide! - Our tour guide Phil was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and was able to give great recommendations! I really enjoyed the 2 hour stop at the Cliffs of Moher as it left just enough time to visit both sides of the cliff and the gift shop. The drive is definitely worth it!
