Great day - Alan was a great driver and guide. We enjoyed his commentary and jokes! Highly recommend. Make sure to pack layers. It ended up being chillier than we expected in June. I was thankful to have packed gloves!

A good time - It was a great day. It was well organized, our driver Allen was very thoughtful and competent. We would do this again, and I recommend it to anyone who would like to see the cliffs and the islands hassle free.

Book this trip - The Cliffs are just spectacular and the Aron Island was a nice stop. Our guide Alan made the trip unforgettable with his knowledge of Irish/Galway history, informative tips and funny humor made the whole trip a 5 star experience.

A Spectacular Tour - Alan provided us with a wonderful day ... Wild Atlantic Way - From start to finish just a glorious day. We took the ferry over to one of the Aran Islands. Alan made sure we were set up with a pony and cart ... not before he led us to a cafe for Irish Coffee. We saw the Cliffs of Moher from the Sea and from Above - truly a spectacular day.

Two views - View of cliffs from boat rocked the ferry boat and our experience. From above on a foggy day? Not so much.

Not to be missed - Gerry, our guide was lovely. Very informative (he could be a college history professor!!) and he kept us laughing the whole time. The trip to Inishsheer is something not to be missed. Being able to see the cliffs of Moher by land and sea is spectacular. My only wish was for more time at the cliffs to walk back and forth.

Incredible tour with breathtaking views! - I had such an incredible day trip with guide Alan! We stopped at Dunguaire Castle where we had 20 minutes to take pictures and walk around. Then we stopped at Hazel Mountain Chocolate Factory where we had a little tour, and there's a café and restrooms. We then continued along the Wild Atlantic Way, and the views were breathtaking! I recommend sitting on the right on the bus so you can appreciate the view of the ocean! We stopped somewhere along the road to go out and see the Burren and the water, and take pictures. I was traveling alone, and Alan offered to take pictures of me which I really appreciated. We then had a lunch stop in Doolin (1h to eat in a really nice pub). And then we arrived at the Cliffs of Moher. Absolutely breathtaking, I loved it. We had two hours there which was perfect. I had time to walk a bit on both sides of the visitor's center, and got great views. It's February, so it wasn't crowded at all which was wonderful! And the weather was wonderful with the sun!! Very lucky! I had time to stop at the visitor's center and have a look there, and also get a cup of tea before getting back on the bus to go back to Galway. Truly wonderful tour. Thank you Alan!
