Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- denisecJ95AT0 contributionsCliffs of Moher and more!Had the best experience on our tour. Fergus was very attentive, courteous and fun. We saw many beautiful spots on our way to the Cliffs of Moher which was absolutely stunning.Written 19 March 2025
- jameswV8372CJ0 contributionsWonderful Time, Would RecommendFamily trip to Ireland and we knew we wanted to hire a private driver for an all day tour to the Cliffs and surrounding area. We really lucked out with Pat from Connemara Chauffeurs, he was so friendly, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing a lot of insights into the area and personal tales. The stop in Doolin made for a short visit to a small village and Pat knew a great pub, too! Cannot go wrong with this company!Written 18 February 2025
- jorgetH2154GA0 contributionsGreat visit to West IrelandWe had a great time visiting West Ireland with the tour. Bogdan was great with our group, we had a marriage proposal during the trip, and my friend was advised the best spots to do so. Overall, it was a great experience.Written 10 February 2025
- Sherpa630116153760 contributionsA great dayThe trip was great saw amazing things ..the Cliffs ..Doolin..and more.The best part was our guide Fergus,he was informative and fun like a friend.Written 17 January 2025
- johnhU292LB0 contributionsCouple take on West Coast of IrelandPrivate Cliffs of Moher Tour with Fergus – A Hidden Gem Experience Our private Cliffs of Moher tour with Fergus was truly unforgettable. Fergus, our driver and guide, brought the experience to life with his deep knowledge and infectious love for the area. From the moment we set off, it was clear that this was no ordinary tour. Not only did we visit the iconic Cliffs of Moher, but Fergus also took us to several lesser-known spots that we would never have discovered on our own. These hidden gems were breathtaking, offering stunning views and a chance to experience the beauty of Ireland away from the crowds. Fergus shared captivating stories about the region’s history, culture, and natural wonders, making the journey as enriching as it was scenic. The personal touch and Fergus’s enthusiasm made this tour a highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for a unique and intimate way to explore the Cliffs of Moher and its surroundings, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!Written 22 December 2024
- Venture576216954270 contributionsA must do when in GalwayWe had the best day out with our guide, Fergus. He was knowledgeable on many subjects beyond the places we visited (which were stunning), even making suggestions for things we should add to our next day’s itinerary. I would highly recommend this tour - and especially Fergus.Written 20 October 2024
- C8398ZDolgat0 contributionsFergus is an exceptional guide!Amazing trip! Thank you, Fergus, for being such a great host and guide. There is no way we would have been able to see so many new things on a single day trip if it weren’t for your skill and knowledge.Written 17 October 2024
- X6965SIerinc0 contributionsBogdan is the BEST!This tour was a wonderful experience for a family girls trip! Bogdan, our tour guide, was fantastic! He took us to the expected and unexpected sights. Highly recommend!Written 14 October 2024
- Eileen L0 contributionsHad the Best Time with Our Awesome Tour Guide!We did the private Cliffs of Moher Tour with John Morrissey. He was an absolutely amazing tour guide, and I can’t recommend him enough! He is well deserving of way more than five stars. We saw so much of this beautiful country in one day. This would not have been possible without our wonderful guide. John stopped at many other locations to and from the Cliffs of Moher. We had so many opportunities to take beautiful photos, and John was always taking pictures for us. He even took photos off his own phone and sent some great ones! I should also mention he is an exceptional driver and easily maneuvered the twists and turns on the narrow roads. John made sure to customize the trip based on our interests and was also very flexible in anything we wanted to do. Since we weren’t sure what we wanted to see besides the cliffs, he made great suggestions to make our day memorable. Also, our adult daughter who loves cows was with us, and he made sure she had many opportunities to get photos right next to the cows even in the pasture 😂. Another highlight was the sheepdog demonstration. It was so fun to watch the dogs in action and then to meet them personally. John was not only knowledgeable but he also had a wonderful personality! He was so kind, fun, and friendly. It felt like we were traveling with a good friend. Our day flew by, and we were sad to say goodbye. We loved every minute with John M. and he went above and beyond in every way. If you are looking for a private guide, look no further and request John! You won’t be sorry! We can’t wait to go back and see more with him!Written 2 October 2024
- L9137GAkelseys0 contributionsWow!!!Our driver, Martin, was fantastic. We had no idea what we were looking to do and he was able to build us the perfect itinerary as we drove. We visited a castle, saw a sheep herding presentation, had the most delicious meal and visited the Abbey. Martin was such a friendly man and never made us feel rushed and stopped to let us take some pictures. We would highly recommend him and the company. What an amazing trip!Written 21 September 2024
- leefG7983XR0 contributionsA 5 Star Experience from Booking to GoodbyesThe weather was near perfect, the drive and attractions were beautiful, and our driver Sorin was amazing. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience. Even a traffic accident that caused us to detour gave us the opportunity to see the rural countryside. Our group of 8 voted this the best part of our 1 week Ireland vacation. Highly recommend the company (very responsive and courteous), the driver (very attentive and knowledgable), and the tour (very beautiful and well planned out). A few additional thank you's to our driver Sorin for checking up on our lunch (order printing issues) and ensuring we got our food, for being our photographer, and for his wealth of knowledge of the area and its history. We learned a lot and saw amazing views. Thank you!Written 21 August 2024
- G2723SQamy0 contributionsAmazing ExperienceThis was basically a perfect day in Ireland. Hugo was funny, informative, and friendly. The sites that he took us to were beautiful! The sheepdog demonstration was so cool. We enjoyed every bit of the tour, from the abbey we stopped at to the great lunch in the town of Doolin. I can't recommend this tour enough!Written 21 August 2024
- rachelba1230 contributionsGreat tour of the Cliffs and area!Martin was a great tour guide! Lots of knowledge and information and wonderful to chat it up with him in between stops.

Sean was an amazing guide for me and my family as well as very patient with us as we explored all around various towns in the County Galway countryside. Great value for up to 8 hours of touring in a van that can fit even larger families. The van was brand new with great working WiFi and plenty of A/C in the hot Irish summer. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to get away from the tours and crowded towns and see some of Ireland that you definitely cannot see on your own or on a tour bus. We will definitely be back and when we do, we will be giving them a call!

Connamera Chauffers were top notch! We did the private tour (two couples) and had a wonderful guide. Picked up right at our Hotel. Highlight for us was the working sheepdog farm and the fjord inside Connamera. Rex the dog and his owner were something to behold as we got to see them both in action herding sheep! 👍🍀👍🍀

My 2 friends and I went on a private Connemara day tour w Hugo. It was by far the highlight of our trip. He was so funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The sheep dog demonstration and so was the scenery. We got to choose our own adventure based on suggestions. I would highly recommend booking without any hesitation.

Sean was a phenomenal tour guide and extremely safe driver; his vehicle was new and meticulous. We only had a few short hours, yet Sean offered suggestions of additional sites to visit that not only enhanced our tour, but really made our trip with Sean the highlight of our Ireland adventure. Sean was easy to communicate with and knowledgeable. Kudos to Sean for a memorable visit to Connemara! Sean will be our go to for future visits to Connemara.
