Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Must do! Fantastic Tours, Great People
    Sean provided great history and fun context (leprechauns!), while keeping things on track. He's obviously focused on improving his story telling. Most importantly, his outine of Irish history and readings on Yeats poetry offer powerful insights into this beautiful country.
    Driver Peter took great care to get us there safely and on time. More importantly he maintained great cheesr and managed tight turns and crowded traffic with ease. The Ciffs of Moher and Galway are both first-rate destinations with stunning views and great food, drink, music, and shopping options.

    A life enhancing nice day
    We saw amazing Atlantic nature and got an impression of the life on the Irish islands.
    Btw., for me as a non-native speaker, it was perhaps of special interest to get to know that and how some English idioms originate from these special life conditions.
    I could gain a lot of interesting insights into the Irish history and Ireland’s today’s political, economical and cultural situation and its challenges.
    Altogether, I had a wonderful day and a great experience!

    Not enough time
    It was a beautiful clear day and an easy drive to the cliffs and back. Driver even added in commentary on the way there. We ended up having only an hour and a half at the cliffs when I thought we were going to have 2 and I would have like to have 3. Felt a bit too short but still worth it.

    Fantastic hike and beautiful scenery
    Wonderful trip with 3 hours to hike Diamond Hill in Connemara National Park. This was plenty of time and I got some great pictures of the beautiful scenery. We saw tons of sheep on our way back to Galway. Mike was an excellent tour guide and driver. I learned so much about the land and history of Ireland from him.

    Beautiful place even with clouds and rain and great job of our driver and guide John
    Very nice trip. Beautiful sceneries.

    Driver/guide John was outstanding:, very instructive comments , he knows the country and helps understand it and the Irish better. We learnt a lot. He showed us a lot and explained everything
    And a pleasant humour too.

    In case John reds this : I m ashamed I left a paper cup in the bus, I realised too late, I'm so sorry, plus another matter: you can reach me by mail draxelellrodt (gmail)

    A fun and informative tour :)
    Despite the windy, rainy weather we very much enjoyed our short tour of Galway with a knowledgeable guide who made it fun as well as interesting. A brief history of Galway/Ireland and some tips on where to eat and catch some Irish music… delivered with a good dose of humour :)

    Great Tour
    A great tour with Phil and Shamus. Awesome itinerary busy but we’ll paced. So many must see locations. It’s a full loop around Galway that packs in so much. We took the buggy ride on the island which was also good.

    Amazing trip to the Cliffs of Moher
    I loved this tour with Wild Atlantic Way and Alan was our guide/driver. Alan is so funny, I loved his humor. He also provided a lot of information about the land and the history of Ireland. I learned so much from him. Just three of us on the bus were doing the cliff walk while the rest were doing a ferry to the Aran Islands then back to the Cliffs. I had more than enough time to walk from Doolin to the Visitors center at a nice slow pace on a beautiful sunny and warm day. I even got a chance to walk further along the cliffs and had a nice lunch at the Visitor center. We saw the unique landscape of the Burren on our way back to Galway.

    my experience is that it is some kind of scam or hustle
    45 euros for what? Viator sent us a voucher for the Tea Room at the visitor center. The staff there didn't have any idea what we were talking about and had never seen a voucher like the one we had. Every self guided tour we have taken in the past at least supplied us with suggestions and a bit of description. This one gave nothing. I'm disputing the charge with my CC company as soon as I'm back in the states. I think it is a scam. IT is no reflection on the National Park itself which was nice enough

    Wonderful day trip to Connemara, Kylemore Abbey
    Wonderful tour of the beautiful Connemara countryside and the Kylemore Abbey. Mike, our driver, was friendly and very knowledgeable and shared the history of the areas we drove through. We even got a fun keepsake! Kylemore Abbey is breathtaking and the walled gardens are worth the visit. Lots of photo op moments along the tour, too. Highly recommend this experience.

    Cliffs of Moher
    Absolutely breathtaking and worth the commitment of a very long day!
    Wind, rain, and fog on and off throughout the day all added to the experience!

    Also cute cafe at Cliffs of Moher to have lunch while visiting!
