★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,517 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $101

Review of Galway’s Inisheer and Cliffs of Moher day tour, with ferry rides, Burren scenery, guide tips, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“This trip was the highlight of our entire trip - so well done!!! The tour guide Phil was the best tour guide we ever had, anywhere! And everyone was right....if you want to see the cliffs, you need to see from the water. 100 percent correct!!! We also stopped at the top of the cliffs and if that was my only viewing of them I would have been disappointed. The trip to the island was also wonderful. Highly recommend doing the horse/carriage little tour. It's only 15 euro per person but gives you a little tour around the island and drops you at the pub for a little lunch. Overall…”
