Great hike for those in decent shape! - Pat is a fun character with many stories and interesting facts about the area. He took us on a tremendous 5-mile hike along the edge of the cliffs all the way to the O’Brien Tower and visitors center. We got lucky with the weather and had an incredible day. Well worth it.

Fantastic hike, super scenery,. Adventure galore,. Best activity in Ireland. - The hike leader is an amazing story teller, personality,. With a clear boomy voice everyone can hear. The hike scenery was stunning and a million times better then just from the visitor center. You have to take this hike.

Best guide at the Cliffs of Moher - Pat was the best tour guide, he grew up on the Cliffs of Moher and had lots of stories about the land and history along with stories about growing up here. We trekked across some of his property. Pat made the walk memorable and his knowledge was priceless!

Top 10 life experience! - We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful day. Pat Sweeney & Barbara were lovely guides. Pat’s love and passion for the landscape and wildlife is palpable as he shares his stories and family history along the tour. The hike is steep at times but you are rewarded with spectacular views, great company & the wild Atlantic 300 feet below.

Views, fresh air and local character. - We came for the views but got so much more. The walk was great and the views were spectacular but the real highlight was our guide and local farmer Patrick. He was generous in his sharing of his life growing up on the cliffs, pointed out the best spot for photos, took us off track to see views we’d have walked past otherwise. A great day made even better. The walk itself isn’t overly difficult but there were a few short steeper sections that got the heart rate up as well as a few short sections right next to the drop which reminded us how high we were. Don’t worry as Patrick called those sections out and you can cross over the paddock if you prefer. I’d highly recommend this walk.

Excellent with Patrick - The tour with Patrick is outstanding. I would have given it 5 stars except the tour is advertised as a walk along the top of the Cliffs of Moher but doesn’t mention the climbs necessary to get to the top. Very strenuous in places for 5 miles.
