From Dublin: Cliffs of Moher, Boat Tour & Aillwee Cave

The trip is very great! The guide and driver both are very good! It is very worthy.旅程很棒，莫赫悬崖很美。导游和司机都很友好。导游会在车上对景点和爱尔兰的历史进行讲解，坐船看莫赫悬崖也很有意思。

Boat cruise was cool, but it ate into our time walking the cliffs as you really need two hours there. Still highly recommend! Would love if they cut out the fort after the sheep dogs and the village before the cruise in order to do earlier cruise if possible to allow for extra time walking the cliffs. The bus was comfortable and had chargers, lots of stops for snacks/food/coffee/stretch your legs which was great. We did run a little long closer to 15 hours so don’t recommend having plans after it. Damien was great and very enthusiastic!

This trip was "sub-contracted" to Irish Day Tours. The bus arrived at the pick-up point more than 30 minutes late. There was a very shy "organizer" present to check everyone in, but she did nothing to prepare us for the tour or provide any direction other than to say the bus is running late. There was no tour guide, just the bus driver, who rambled on during the drive with random facts about the history of Ireland, but the sound system barely worked so those in the back of the bus couldn't hear. The bus driver got lost on the small country roads and consumed even more time on the side of the road making phone calls ahead to the points of interest. He asked the group about timing for lunch vs. the boat ride. There just wasn't a defined route and timing, and once he was late everything was by the seat of his pants. The driver who was running the tour failed to give firm timing to be back on the bus and was late himself at just about every stop. At Doolin, his wife shows up to join the tour and ride the boat (extremely unprofessional). At the ferry ride since we arrived just in time, we were placed at the back of the queue, which put all 24 member of the "Premium Tour" on the lower deck of the boat INSIDE which severely limited viewing. Shocking that there wasn't a reserved spot for us to go on the boat first and choose our seating. After being on the road for hours, when we finally arrived at the Cliffs of Moher experience, the driver wanted to give us only 45 minutes to explore since we were running late. After agreeing to give us 55 minutes, then he himself was late again getting on the bus and getting us moving back to Dublin. We ultimately arrived back in Dublin 2 hours later than the advertised time.

To start the bus did not arrive at 7am it did not show until 8am and we did not leave until 8:15am.

We could not hear the bus driver/tour guide because the speakers were too low even after we informed him many times.
Wifi didnt start working until after we got off the ferry which was more then half way through the trip.

We spent an hour at a heading dog/fort.

After that this trip started to feel rushed we were only allowed 30 mins to eat lunch at a busy Pub that took 30 mins to order and get food alone.

We almost missed the 3pm ferry to see the cliffs.

Once we arrived at the Visitor center on top of cliffs we again were only allowed 30 mins. Which was not enough time to shop, use the bathroom, and visit the cliff.

We hated this tour! It felt like we did not get the full experience that we paid to do. We spent most our time on the bus and I slept due to the constant slamming on the breaks giving me car sickness and not being able to hear anything even when the bus was dead silent.

It was ok. Lots of driving with a driver who brake checked many times! Not enough time spent at the cliffs and our timing was all backwards due to delays. Seemed super rushed. I understand the drive there is 3 1/2 hours but feel we could have spent more than 30 mins on top of cliffs.

It was amazing experience, tour is very interesting, and especially I want to highlight work of our guide - Natasha, thank you, so much.
Coach was very comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend tour to visit

We recently took a day trip to Cliff of Moher, my family was sitting on the first row and therefore could overhear the conversation between the Guide (Eamon) and Driver (Koko, not his real name but he preferred to be called this name). As we sat in the bus both the driver and the guide did not know the itinerary of the trip and they were surprised that it included the Sheep Dog trails as they both have never been there. The driver then spent a good 10 mins trying to find the address and finally decided to use google maps for the directions. The driver nor the guide had done any preparation for this trip or the direction. The journey took over 4 hours while we were initially told it would take 3 hours. The driver took us on a path this was not made for buses as he did not know the roads at all. We had 3-4 encounters where the on coming cares could not pass.

We reached the sheep dog trails and enjoyed the show, while going the the sheep dog trails nobody was told how long we had to be there and when we were leaving. Looked like the driver and guide has never lead a group. After the show we asked the driver the plan and he mentioned that we wait in the Sheep dog place for another 90 mins and when asked what were we supposed to do there as it’s a small place the driver and guide were confused, soon they changed the plans and we were asked to walk towards the bus.

When we reached Cliff of Moher the guide asked the resident staff of how to get to the boat ride and the staff were surprised and told him that the boat ride was in Doolin and not at the cliff (How can a boat ride be from a cliff). This again was an example that not the driver and guide did not know what we were doing. We were given 90 mins to view the cliffs and have lunch. We were asked to be back for 2.30 for a 3 pm boat ride and it took approx. 15 mins to get to Doolin from the cliffs. We were delayed by one passenger and left @2.45-2.50 for the boat. The driver then took us on a road that was clearly marked as “No Buses” and when I pointed it out he told me “then where should I take you from”, I am tourist there how would I know. It was an awkward 15-20 mins where people pointed that there were no buses allowed and the driver kept taking us and then he could not turn as there was not enough space for a bus to turn. This caused loads of traffic in the small village. The driver was blindly following google maps without understand that the bus cannot go to routes that car can travel on. This was the same issue in the morning.

We were delayed for our boat trip and had to wait for 2 hours at Doolin to take the last boat which was at 5:15 and was informed it will be for 45 mins as the boat people had to return back at 6 pm. (Supposed to be 1 hour cruise) overall it further delayed & by the time we got back to Dublin it was 10.45 which was nearly 3 hours late to Dublin. On the return it was again not planned as people wanted to go the toilet and we had to wait for over 90 mins to get to s stop as both the guide and driver had not planned. The driver stopped in a small village to relieve himself outside someone’s house and then the bus was stopped on the motorway in a dangerous position for the guide to relieve himself on the motorway.

The lack of knowledge of the roads and itinerary meant that we had a coach trip for over 15 hours and completely did not have time to see any of the attractions. When we went to complaint the next day, we were told the driver was new and did not know the routes. The driver blatantly broke the rules by taking the bus on a “ No Bus lane”, he put lives of my family and passengers in danger by stopping illegally on the motorway. We were not given proper stops to get food or go the toilets and was basically overall a nightmare. The driver did not know the itinerary or the routes to take us there and that wasted most of the time, when we reached there was no plan and it seemed none of them knew what needed to happen. We are really disappointed in the service and how we were put in danger. Really bad company, disastrous & dangerous service. The customer service are not bothered about any feedback.

The Cliffs were amazing! So many area to see them for photos. The customer welcome center was very nice. The area where you can read and watch a film was interesting. The boat ride was very rocky and you really couldn't see from my seat or get up to go to a better view. I tried and the boat hit a wave and I hit the floor!☺️ I'm just a little achy but it was worth it!

We highly recommend this tour! The scenic views along the drive & of course the cliffs themselves are stunning. The boat is a great addition to see the cliffs from a different viewpoint & we saw dolphins too! The highlight though was our tour guide Jonathan! He was amazing, not only was he full of information about everywhere we went but he was so nice, very funny & very talented too! We loved hearing him sing & the stories he told were just the best! He was also a great driver, which is needed on those roads! Could not have enjoyed our day trip anymore thanks to him! Jonathan if you see this, thank you so much for an unforgettable day! You’re an absolute legend! From your new Aussie friends :) Sam & Tegan

Enjoyed seeing the countryside along the way and the sheepdog demonstration. The Cliffs of Moher are a must-see. Our boat trip was cancelled due to high winds and we were so disappointed not to enjoy that part. Next time, for certain!

The tour guide was not very well informed of area to or from Cliffs. Driver didn’t know the controls to air conditioner or chargers. 10 minutes away from final return did turn on a/c. Very disappointed with this particular tour

A lot of stunning landscapes, long drives, a really great and capable guide which knows the country so well, I sadly have to take off one point, due to the fact that the boat tour was cancled mid day, it was necessary due to extreme winds and big waves, so it was not safe to go. It was the right decision definitely and the guide offered us a good alternative by driving along the coast, stopping at the burren and telling alot of interesting facts

Our guide and driver, Connor, was excellent! Everything was well-organized. The cliffs were amazing and the boat tour, although rocky, was also worth it. If you’re prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking a medication. I just wish that the visit included stopping at any of the famous castles. There are many of them, and unless you’re driving, one has to rely on a tour to take you there.

All in all it was a good experience. Meeting time was super early but based on the drive ahead it made sense. Bus was comfortable and we made more than enough bathroom stops. My only real issue is that the time spent on top of the Cliffs was super limited. We had maybe 50 minutes there and it takes a good 10 minutes just to walk from the bus to one area of the cliffs. If you wanted to go somewhere else you had to sprint. The boat was by far the best part of the whole experience. The sheep/dog portion was a nice rest stop but not really necessary.

Unbelievable views of The Cliffs of Moher. Don’t worry about getting you up there, a golf cart will take you. Had an outstanding driver, Barry. Totally wonderful experience of a lifetime.

Enjoyed the trip. Jonathan was terrific as both driver and guide. Amazed at how he manouvered the bus through narrow lanes. Lunch in Doolin was good. The cliffs themselves were spectacular and the view from the boat gave perspective not possible from top. And the sheepdog demo was lots of fun. Overall a fun and well organized trip

Take the boat tour that goes in front of the cliffs. Well worth the extra time and cost. It gives you a different view and appreciation.
