I had an amazing experience on the Cliffs of Moher and Galway tour today with Niamh as our guide and Paolo as our driver. Niamh was absolutely fantastic — she shared so many great nuggets of history, culture, and local stories throughout the day, and her energy made the trip even more enjoyable. Paolo was an excellent driver, keeping everything smooth and safe the whole way.
The tour was well-paced, … More informative, and genuinely fun. My only recommendation for future travelers: if you’re planning to visit Galway anyway, consider doing this tour as a one-way trip and letting them know ahead of time, so you can spend extra time exploring Galway and take the train back another day. It’s a great way to make the most of the experience.
Highly recommend this tour, especially with Niamh and Paolo!

What a fantastic day! Our driver, Krishna, needed to work around the Dublin Marathon (no small feat) before getting us on the road and he did so skillfully. He was also great with names, prepared with extra charging cords for those that forgot them, and an all around sound driver. Our guide, John, was excellent. He’s a loud, clear voice, which made it easy to hear the detailed historic recounting he … More shared with us over the wind and rain and lively Kilkenny food festival. The pace of the day was reasonable, given the delayed start, and the sites (Wicklow Mountains and Kilkenny) were fabulous. It was also great to have a tour that’s a mix of city and rural locations. There’s no shortage of beautiful landscapes, fascinating history, subtle wit, welcoming hospitality in Ireland. If you’re on a tour with these two gentlemen, you’ve a great day ahead of you!

Did the Belfast, Giants Causeway tour today and it was jam packed! Fabulous scenery all along the coast. The Titanic museum was spectacular. Maurice, our guide was full of great Irish information, stories and jokes. Paulo, our driver was excellent in the coastal wind storm…it is December after all. Lovely pub lunch at Giant’s Causeway. Great value for the money…but a super long day that started at … More 7am and ended at 8pm.

We had the best time on our tour! We did the Giant’s Causeway and Belfast City. Una and Jp made the best duo. She was extremely informative and made the drive feel shorter than it was. We also appreciated her ability to keep everything and everyone on track! Jp was a great driver, I never felt anything but safe while he was driving.

Had a most excellent time on this tour. Our guide Daithi was fabulous! His stories were great, Irish music was on point, he definitely made the long day of driving pass by much quicker. Two hours at the Cliffs of Moher and two hours in Galway were a good amount. Didn’t feel rushed at either location. Bus was comfy too! Would 100% recommend this tour!

We went on the Giants Causeway, Belfast City & Dunluce Castle Day Tour from Dublin and it was an amazing experience! We got to choose between visiting the Titanic Museum or taking the black cab tour to learn more about the Conflict/Troubles, and we highly recommend the black taxi tour! You are with a guide who lived the experiences they are sharing with you and who knows how long those guides will … More be around. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.
Our guide, Steven O’Malley, was fantastic. He shared with us so much history about Ireland, Northern Ireland, and even shared some personal stories of him and his family. We plan to go on another Wild River tour because of how great our experience was!

Booked the *Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway* tour through Viator.
We had such a great experience! Richard was a fun tour guide and the views were spectacular (despite the wind 💨). Galway was also a fun time! I really liked the entire day’s itinerary and we even got to see a donkey - Fred! I definitely recommend this tour. Thanks for the unforgettable memories!

We did the Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough tour today with Wild Rover Tours, and we enjoyed it so much!
Our favorite part was the sheep farm - watching the sheepdog Spot gather the sheep was amazing and really fun to see.
Our guide John was outstanding. He has a great sense of humor, explained everything clearly, and made the whole day interesting. He also had a very personal approach … More to each of us.
And our driver Pete did an incredible job on the Irish roads - so smooth and confident, it was impressive.
Thank you for a wonderful day! We would definitely recommend this tour to others.

The high score is more than deserved.. apart from some communication issues with the booking (they should send a text message instead of calling) for the confirmation because I was at a concert and couldn't respond.. I almost missed the tour. But other than that the day was made up for in a big way. Our driver Marcel (I'm not sure if it's spelled like that) was very cheerful and kind. … More An excellent guide, he made us feel safe. Our guide Steven was the best. He was truly very nice. Kind and he really engaged us with his passion for history. Very willing to listen to our needs. He was an angel. I highly recommend this trip. The place was stunning. Magical. No disappointments. I will definitely return to Dublin and book another adventure :)
