We had an excellent guide but the cruise by the Cliffs of Moher - people vying for pictures blocking everyone ‘s view ruined it for those of us that remained seated. Better crowd control is needed. I had an individual almost fall in my lap and proceed to block views of everyone around me for the entire time we were close to the cliffs.
