This tour is a 'Must Do' - I flew in from Atlanta , GA (U.S.) arriving at Shannon airport by 5:30 am. I rushed to my hotel to check in and shower, ensuring I would be on time to meet the tour bus at Arthur's Quay. My driver and tour guide was Peadar and he was awesome! Peadar provided great insight into Ireland's history, culture and future. The tour included the Cliff's of Moher, Aran Island and a cruise around the cliffs which all awesome. Taking this tour directly following a 15-hour flight was pure insanity but I'd totally make the same choice again.

I will be back! - Peader was a good driver. The trip to Aran Islands and The Cliffs of Moher was grand. The people on the island were wonderful too.
