Cliffs of Moher, Aran Island en Burren-tour vanuit Galway. Begeleid.

This was a lovely tour!! The only critique I have is I wish the tour listing had more info on how to prepare and an actual itinerary, so I shall list some helpful pointers here. Itinerary: 9 - 10:45 a.m.: Bus ride through the Burren on your way to the Aran Islands. 11 a.m. —11:30 a.m.: Ferry to the smallest Aran Island, Inisheer. 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.: Free time to explore Inisheer. I highly recommend taking the horse and buggy tour, followed by a hike up to the castle, then lunch at the pub. 1:45-2:45 p.m.: Ferry + tour around the bottom of the cliffs of Moher. 2:45-3:00 p.m.: Bus ride up to the Cliffs. 3-4 p.m.: Time to explore the cliffs. This is not much time at all so I recommend going up to O’Brien’s tower for the best views. 4:15-6 pm: Bus back to Galway Tips: - Wear hiking boots or high traction tennis shoes. I slipped wear regular street tennis coming out of the castle and wish I’d been more prepared with better footwear. - Wear layers. It’s warm on the bus but gets very cold on the ferry. - Being motion sickness meds if you get sick on boats. The ferry ride is rough due to the Atlantic waters. - Bring cash. (€30/person). The locals on Inisheer prefer Euros for the buggy rides and such. - Wear comfy clothes you can walk in a long ways. Overall, I loved this tour. Just wish there had been more info beforehand.

Our flight arrived 30 minutes late so we message the operator that we were going to be a couple minutes late. We got there at 9:02am for a 9:00am tour and the tour guide told us that our bus had left and he never got my message. After explaining the situation, he said our only other option is this other tour which involved extensive hiking but since we had a toddler with us and am 4 months, we weren’t able to commit to that tour. After requesting to the guide, he let us wait and see if there is room for 2 more on the 9:30 tour. After waiting for 30 minutes in the cold, we realized that the same tour was calling late comers and waiting until everyone showed up for that tour rather than departing on time at 9:30. At 9:35, we were told the tour was full and that there was nothing they can do for us. I understand that if you miss the time, it is what it is but when the same standards are not held all around, it can be frustrating. I would not recommend this tour since they are completely unreasonable.

Hands down one of the best tours I've done! The four of us had a wonderful time. Seeing the Cliffs from both the bottom and top was an incredible experience. We had fun exploring the island and stopping for a photo shoot in the Burrens. Phil was an amazing guide and full of knowledge!
