On Sunday I took a Lally Tour to the Cliffs of Moher with John as a our tour guide. I sometimes get nervous traveling on a bus, but John was the ultimate professional driver. I was totally at ease and relaxed. He was so informative and interesting. I had the best day and highly recommend any tour with John!!

Great trip that took place exactly as described. Our tour guide Damien explained everything in a passionate way and there was absolutely no confusion about departure times etc. (it's fun though to read some comments here...) Although the weather was not the best, we saw stunning nature and enjoyed the day to the fullest. Also great that Damien checked on masks on the bus - of course some and always the same people didn't manage but at least he tried. Thanks Damien!

This was such a fun experience from start to finish. Gerry was excellent, funny, and shared a lot of fun local knowledge throughout the trip. The cruise and visit to Inis Oirr were great, with amazing views, and the locals were so welcoming. The cruise around the Cliffs of Moher was breathtaking with the views. Highly recommend taking this tour, especially if you can visit with Gerry.

Enjoyable trip to the island and cliffs
Time on the island is too limited, another 45 mins would be fair
We appreciate getting picked up from our hotel but please have the respect to stick to the time agreed and not requesting room calls to customers 20 mins before agreed pick up time, putting unfair pressure on customers just to suit yourself

Thank you for your review. The reality is there is only so much we can do in a single day. 45 minutes more on Inisheer would mean 45 minutes less somewhere else. There are full day tours to the Aran Islands alone that may suit you better.
As for the pick up, this is a first. I usually get calls because the driver / pick up is late or behind schedule.

I absolutely loved this trip, everything was very well organized and the weather that day was fantastic. The best to get to know the Aran Islands and see the views from the Cliffs of Moher. Our bus driver Gerry was so funny and outgoing, told us information about the area and kept us entertained the whole way.

Hi, I am aware that this tour includes a visit to the Cliffs of Moher, but this isn't indicated as part of the itinerary. I would like to know whether we'd actually stop by the cliffs, and how much time we have to walk around. Thank you!

Check with the tour operators. There must be a way to identify the proper number to call.
Remember, it is winter and likely to be very windy on the island

We will be arriving at 8:00 am on Azamara's Pursuit on Sunday May 31st and the passengers will be tendered to the pier. Would it be possible to be picked up at the pier?

There are Two ferry companies departing Doolin for the Aran Islands. You’d need to know the company taking you and the times of departure and return. Both companies depart from the concrete pier.

Is there cover on the ferry to Aran Islands? Do I need to bring rain gear?
Matthew C
6 contributions
there is no cover, bring rain gear. Looking at the above comments, some had a ferry with cover. Regardless, bring it incase. You def will be splashed with alot of water if the waters are rough when you are on the upper level of the ferry.

If we go on a Sunday. Are shops open for business?
Sinead

Yes the shops are open everyday there is a convenience store , and at the harbour there are gift shops & as for the cliffs of Moher there is a visitors Center with everything. Just be sure to take some kwells travel tablets incase the sea is rough.
Does this tour ever get cancelled due to weather conditions? If so, what is the refund policy?
Candace S

The trip can be cancelled due to weather (it was cancelled for a few days after we took the excursion). Unfortunately I can’t help with the policy in this situation and could differ by company.
