Fabulous day out with great commentary from Bertie and skilful bus driver, Connor. Lovely to be with a small group in a very comfortable bus. Well paced day with time for comfort and photo stops. Scenery was incredible. I would have liked a little time in Doolin, rather than just driving through by we had to catch the boat. Seeing the Cliffs of Moher from the sea was incredible and the time on Innis Oirr, one of the Aran Islands, was great.

Had a BLAST on this tour! Went solo and was a bit nervous, but the group was suuuper friendly. Our guide, Pete, was hilarious and knew all the secret spots for the best cliff views. Wind nearly blew my hat off (hold onto ur stuff!), but WOW, standing at the edge is just... EPIC. The boat ride was canceled b/c of choppy water, but we got extra time to wander Inisheer. Def worth it, even with the switch-up. Bring snacks—shops are tiny and sell out quick.

Went with my girlfriend and honestly, the cliffs were next level. Super foggy in the morning so couldn’t see much at first, but cleared up just in time—total movie moment. Staff were chill, but the bus ride was loooong. Bring headphones! Also, bathrooms on the ferry were kinda gross, just sayin.

So much fun! Group of five friends, and none of us had done anything like this before. Our guide, Emer, was a total superstar—so many random stories, we laughed the whole day. The cliffs from the water are INSANE. Felt a bit seasick but recovered quick. Loved the donkeys on Inisheer, they’re adorable. Wish we had more time on the island, but still, perfect day!
