Bobo is the best tour guide in the universe. His English is impeccable. We’re Argentines, and we thought we wouldn’t understand much of the tour, but we actually understood 100%. Bobo has great charm and, above all, great sensitivity. An excellent person. Thanks, Bobo!!! You’re a genius. The cliffs and their views are beautiful; the Burren and Galway are spectacular. The coastal route is breathtaking. A tour you won’t want to miss. Ask for Bobo!!!@

Our Tourguide was super friendly and she shared a lot of cool information with us! Our Bus Driver was also amazing since she drove soo long and got us there safe both ways! I really liked that we went to 3 different spots and learned so much about irish history but in a fun way. Thank you so much for this great experience - would definetly recommend! :)

Take in Cliffs of Moher from high viewpoints, then visit the centre where interactive displays explain the cliffs’ geology, seabirds, and changing Atlantic weather.

Cross the Burren’s cracked stone landscape, then choose to wander Galway’s colorful streets independently or join your guide to understand the city better.

Sit back in an air conditioned coach with Wi Fi, making the long journey from Dublin more comfortable while landscapes shift from city streets to open countryside.

Rely on an experienced driver and guide who manage the route while explaining the history, landscapes, and local life you see along the way.

Choose a smaller group option for a more personal pace, or add a stop in Fanore where you can purchase lunch during the journey.

Our guide Jonathan was the best! He was very good at storytelling and the funniest! I believe he was driver 22? Of course the Cliffs were my favorite even though the fog was thick. We still got to see them. Galway was great too although a bit chilly. The views from the bus were spectacular! I loved all of it.

A WONDERFUL TRIP, WITH A REALLY GREAT GUIDE. Celebrating 25 years of marriage in wonderful Ireland—TOP!

A wonderful experience!! We traveled from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher accompanied by a friendly and super talkative guide we definitely didnt feel alone! If you have a good knowledge of English, Quiggs is truly a great guide: he knows how to entertain, gives you lots of information, and is very friendly. From Dublin its definitely a long journey that takes up the whole day, most of it spent on the bus. But once you reach the Cliffs of Moher and then arrive in Galway, driving along a beautiful coastal road, you get to enjoy scenery that is certainly different from what you can see in Italy. We brought a packed lunch, although on the way there we stopped at a service station where we could have breakfast and there was also a market available, so its not necessary to buy food the day before the trip. Make sure to bring windproof and waterproof jackets, as well as a hat or hood these are essential. All in all, a great experience to have with Quiggs + Thomas, two outstanding guides!!
