    Love the Cliffs of Moher
    It was an incredible experience. Dylan, our tour guide, was incredibly funny and made the trip incredibly enjoyable. The views were simply breathtaking, and the places we visited offered stunning panoramic views of Ireland. I highly recommend this tour and would suggest spending the entire day with our fantastic tour guide. Louis, our driver, was also exceptional. Patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled at driving a large bus, both of them ensured a smooth and enjoyable journey.

    Tour review: Cliffs Of Moher, Burren and Galway Tour From Dublin
    Tour Review: Cliffs of Moher, Burren, and Galway Tour From Dublin I had an amazing experience on the Cliffs of Moher, Burren, and Galway Tour from Dublin! I have to give special thanks to our tour guide, Dylan, who truly made the trip unforgettable. First of all, I accidentally booked the tour for the wrong date. When I showed up, Dylan and the team were incredibly kind and understanding, letting me join the tour anyway. This warm gesture set the tone for a fantastic day. The tour itself was so comfortable and well-organized. The bus ride was smooth, and there were plenty of opportunities to explore and take in the breathtaking sights. The Cliffs of Moher were absolutely stunning, the Burren was unlike anything I’d ever seen, and Galway had such a lively and charming atmosphere. Dylan’s commentary throughout the tour was engaging, informative, and often humorous, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin—it’s a must-do! And if you’re lucky enough to have Dylan as your guide, you’re in for a treat. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Must Do!
    Fin McCool Tours offers an exceptional way to explore the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher. The tour is well-organized, with a knowledgeable guide (Dylan) who provided fascinating insights about the history, geology, and culture of the area. The bus is comfortable and punctual, making the journey enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, Fin McCool Tours delivers a memorable and hassle-free adventure that’s both educational and awe-inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ireland!

    Amazing trip to the cliffs of Moher while learning about Irish history
    We had an amazing time, the guide Aoife (amazing name btw) was very interesting telling us stories about Irish history. Igor (the bus driver) was also very nice. The cliffs of Moher were beautiful. We were really lucky that it was so warm for that day and clear so we got to see the islands close to the cliffs. It was an overall amazing trip and I would definitely recommend going there.

    This tour was very well done. Amazing tour guides and the most incredible stops. The timing at each spot was perfect. If you are wanting to see Northern Ireland from Dublin, this is the way to do it.

    Cliffs of Moher & Galway trip
    We had a great day on this tour, it is a long day but that is to be expected as several stops and travelling to Gallway. The coach was on time all day and was also very comfortable. The ride was smooth likely due to our great driver Anil. We both could not praise our guide more, what she didnt know was likely not worth knowing. She told the facts and stories perfeftly and added humor too which was awesome. She made time to help and also answer any additonal questions, thank you Aoife you were a big part of what made this tour great!

    Tour for those with Cliffs of Moher in their Bucket List!
    This tour cannot be improved. It is a well-planned route with enough time to explore all of the highlights. Our guide Richard and driver Fred were amazing. He gave us recommendations for all the locations visited (particularly important for Galway) and during the whole trip played an entertaining selection of Irish music along with interesting commentary for all locations. Plus, he always welcomed us to the bus with a smile and candy ☺️

    Tiny babies at the Burren
    Aoife was extremely knowledgable and fun! We learned so much on the drive and saw some incredible sites. The music throughout the trip was a great touch that really enhanced the experience. Anil did a great job driving. Could not recommend this duo and specific trip more!

Karina was amazing! She explained a lot of history and interesting facts about the main buildings and monuments around the city in a very entertaining and pleasant way. She also showed and recommended a lot of nice places to drink and eat around Dublin where proper locals will go. We couldn’t ask for a better tour guide and we’d definitely recommend her to anyone who’s interested on doing a quality tour. Thank you so much Karina, you’re fabulous :)

A very affordable walking tour.
Our guide Conor was excellent. He was a wealth of information and very passionate. He elaborated on the grey history and how things aren't black and white. He walked us through the history of Ireland, the monuments of O'Connell street, Jim Larkin's lively, moving, reenactment, Easter uprising, sociological, mythical, historical, religious aspects, the unfortunate plunge of father Pat Nois' carriage into the Liffey on O'Connell bridge, Temple bar, and the Vikings at the Christ Church.
A very memorable walk down the history of Ireland with some good insider's insight. Though Dublin is not very big, there's a lot to be seen and done. The tour surprisingly covered a good chunk with some extras for all willing to stick around for more spellbinding stories.
Be prepared for rain and standing and more walking.

We always go on walking tours when we visit a new city and Conor is the best walking tour guide that we’ve EVER had. We would give him more stars if we could. He’s so knowledgeable and articulate- and has a great sense of humour. He’s passionate about the locale and his delivery reflects that- he even displayed his theatrical skills en route! As well as having a thoroughly enjoyable time, we found out so much about Dublin and its inhabitants. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough - if you’re new to Dublin, it’s a MUST!

We were disappointed!!!! for a paid tour of nearly €20 for each, the group was too big, the guide walked and told the story like he was in a hurry all the time, we were nearly left behind in the crowd because the guide wasn’t interested at all in the group, he did his job like a machine. He was in hurry to start his next tours, the tours are already paid anyway.
Next time we are going to choose the Free Walking Tours, because the guide has to do his best to satisfy the customers because of the tips. And of course, we are willing to pay a good tips for a good guide. Please, do something because the customers want the tours that they have paid for.
Thank you for considering my review to improve your tours in the future.

Very enjoyable tour. We had ''Karina'' as the tour guide. She was very careful and focused to immerse us into Dublin's atmosphere with whatever pre-knowledge we had about it. In a very short time, we became very interested and passionate about everything that we were visiting thanks to her friendly, open-minded, and well-prepared character. We lost the cognition of time; a 90 mins tour became an almost 4 hours tour. A last but not the least important note, please, do not let you discourage by the sudden rainy weather of Dublin, as most Dubliners know it is a very common feature of this land. You will enjoy it anyways. Most of the time it doesn't last for a long time. Dublin is a unique city to visit and Dubliners are the best part of it.
Thanks for the good time.

My tour guide for this tour was Karina and she was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and took us to places that you might not know to visit and some of the more popular ones. I learned a lot about Dublin even though that was a brief day trip for me.
Would definitely recommend but a tip is that the tours may last longer than just 90 minutes!

Conor is a fantastic tour guide and I’m so glad we got to take his tour. I booked over a month in advance and was notified via What’s App the day before our scheduled tour that our 1:30 tour time had been canceled and we could either join the 11:30 tour or receive a full refund. We were arriving in Dublin the morning of the tour and not sure that the flight would be on time to allow us to get the 11:30 tour. The company was accommodating and let us notify them when we were leaving the airport and heading into Dublin and fortunately we had enough time to arrive at the meeting point in time for the 11:30 tour. Conor provided headsets for all the guests and this made it easy to hear him even in more crowded areas. We had a nice group of 6 on our tour. Conor showed us some key sights in Dublin and provided entertaining, energetic, and informative commentary. We learned a lot of Irish history and got a great orientation to the city. I’m glad this ended up being the first thing we did in Dublin. I highly recommend Conor’s tour!

Our family did the 90 minute walking tour of Dublin.
It was great! Our guide knew everything about the city - a true history lesson as well as facts and fun stories about the past. This is the first thing we did upon arrival in Dublin and it really helped us navigate the city and plan the rest of our stay.
Thank You!!

My Secondary education in England was completely devoid of anything even remotely related to Irish history & as a result i have learned more about British history during the 90 minutes in the company of the delightfully entertaining tour guide, Conor Magahy, than I ever did in the 5 years of what now seems to have been a very contrived & blinkered curriculum.
Conor’s tour was a truly engaging & well polished performance delivered with great energy & charming humour that kept us, his audience, thoroughly entertained throughout.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour (and Conor if you’re in town Thursdays to Saturdays) as a great way to get to know the city, learn a thing or two about Irish (and British/world) history and have a bloody good laugh in the process!

We had a walking tour with Conor on Sunday 8th January and he was absolutely brilliant - energetic, engaging and very funny. He somehow managed to cram about 1200 years of history into 90 minutes as well as recommend the best places to visit on our trip. I would highly recommend his tours - thank you Conor!
