Phil was the best

Our guide Phil was amazing! Friendly informative in a very conversational way. The weather was ROUGH but we managed to see quite a bit and the ease of getting in and out of the cliffs visitor center was great. Can’t say enough about Phil.

Book this tour!

We had a terrific experience with Phil. He is an entertaining and engaging guide and gave good tips throughout the day. There are several points during the day where Dramamine or other motion sickness meds are recommended if you’re prone to suffer. The cliffs and island are amazing! This is a great tour to take the stress out of seeing the beautiful sights.

Most incredible experience

The bus ride felt safe and comfortable. Our guide, Phil, was very nice, helpful and informative. He always made sure no one was left behind. My two friends and I loved this tour! The boat ride was a bit rough because of the sea (so pls medicate yourself if you’re prone to sea sickness or car sickness), but it was worth it, the island was beautiful and the sights of the Cliffs were stunning. I was hungover so I was fighting for my life on the bus ride and on the boat ride, but it was truly one of the best experiences of my entire life. I plan on bringing my family on this tour next time.

Fabulous in every way!

I’m generally not a tour person, but this trip far exceeded my expectations! The itinerary was excellent, scenery spectacular, with a full day of touring and no filler stops or tourist shopping. Seeing the Cliffs of Moher from both above and below was awesome. Our guide was interesting and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour. Also recommend the minibus tour while on Inis Oirr to get a feel for the island and its history.
