Simply the Best

I am not sure which made this most likely the best group tour I have ever taken, the incredibly beautiful sights por Tommy our tour guide. Both were outstanding. Tommy knowledge, humor and willingness to go the extra mile for his guests made every second of this tour a beautiful experience. Go if you can!
Amazing experience. Saw...

Tommy, the driver/guide was excellent. He arranged in advance reservations for a trap or tractor drive on the island. Note that both are 10 euro's per person. The trap takes 6 people, the tractor trailer a lot more.
Although it was a very rainy day, we had a lot of fun and saw a lot.
Definitely recommend this tour.

Paul was our tour guide and did a fabulous job. The whole experience was better than we even expected. The tour is designed to hit the spots at off peak times so you’re not overwhelmed with crowds. The island was absolutely gorgeous, I highly recommend renting bikes and biking around. The cliffs were also amazing and none of the boat rides were too long — just right! Thank you!
Great tour!

Amazing! Not only was the views and sites impressive, but our tour guide and booking agent were extremely accommodating! Our hotel was 15 minutes outside of the city limit, and they offered to pick us up and drop off. Our guide was energetic, funny, and quite informative! The tour is a long day but worth it for the experience!

From start to finish it was a great day.our driver john was very friendly and helpful and full of facts.the ferry crossing was quite quick and enjoyable. And once on the island the locals were great.everything was very affordable. Pony carts,bikes just €10.food and drink in local pub was also great.the cliffs cruise was good but would have liked them to bring us closer to cliffs but as we were told they couldn't as of restrictions from health and safety.when at the top of the cliffs the views were Fantastic. All in all a great day and would definitely do it again.
Response from Host , May 2022
Thank you for coming with us on the tour Jason and thank you very much for your informative review. It is great to hear that you had a fantastic day out on the island and at the cliffs with John. Be sure to stop by the next time you are in Galway and we would be very happy to see you again.
Amazing experience

I can’t recommend this tour enough! Sit in the front and enjoy Tommy’s stories, ask him questions, sit back and listen him make you fall in love with Ireland. Aran islands are nice, but Moher cliffs are a dream place. Don’t be scared if sun isn’t up in the morning Ireland will find a way to surprise you! 10/10
Tommy is brilliant!

Tommy is an amazing tour guide. This is his wheelhouse! He provided historic references and personal input to make for a completely enjoyable tour. We have been driving to various sights. We highly recommend this tour because we could look around at the gorgeous sights, understand what we were seeing, and know what was important to see! Excellent guide!

Aran Island and Cliffs of Moher trip
Duncan_L
, Apr 2022
We did the Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher trip. Highly recommended, great day out and value for money. Our tour guide Tommy was a lovely, friendly and informative guy, with a good Irish sense of humour and told us a lot about Galway, Ireland and it’s history. Went to the smallest Aran Island, Inis, which was fascinating and after we returned to the mainland and went to a traditional Irish pub for lunch. We recommend the Irish stew and fish and chips. Obviously price of food and drink is not included in cost of trip. After lunch we visited the spectacular Cliffs of Moher and their stunning views. Need to wrap up warm as weather can be wet and windy. Wonderful scenery throughout the whole day of trip. We would do the trip again!
Spectacular

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
