Great tour. We arrived at the cliffs early enough to beat the crowds, around 9:30, (we were the 3rd bus) and were able to take our time exploring. We also had a small bus so navigating the roads was less stressful. Driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. We picked this tour because it wasn't an all day trip, we arrived back to Galway around 1 pm and had time to explore, have lunch and shop,

The tour took place in a minibus and was very punctual. The driver was great and very polite. We had two hours to properly explore the cliffs, and we returned at the agreed time. The meeting point was very central in Galway. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Spend a half day at Cliffs of Moher with two hours to walk along cliffside paths, pause at viewpoints, and explore freely without following a guide.

Settle into a spacious coach as the route unfolds past fields and villages, with an experienced driver navigating every turn for a steady journey.

Enter the visitor centre to learn about the cliffs’ geology and wildlife, adding context to the sweeping views you see from the paths outside.

I enjoyed the length of time and how close we were to the cliffs. The seating was nice as well. Also nice views.
