Excellent way to see the Cliffs - Thank you to Dion for a great day! He kept the tour on track with great commentary and expert driving. We went straight to the Cliffs, which was an excellent choice to maximize the good weather. The Caves were also interesting and worth the 10€ additional fee. There was enough time to do everything without there being a lot of down time. Thank you Dion and Lally Tours!

Outstanding tour. - Seamus did an amazing job. He gave us much great information, but not too much to overload us. He was also very entertaining and personable. He even dropped the cruise passengers off at the ship, which was so helpful. The price for this tour was a real bargain. We highly recommend this tour and company.

Great tour! - Seamus was our guide and he was very informative and interesting, including some history of the country. We loved the sights we stopped at, especially the Cliffs of Moher. It was a long day but didn’t feel it because we had periodic stops and while on the bus, Seamus entertained us or played music. Thanks, Seamus, for a great tour!

I would say it was a birthday to remember! - It was an amazing trip. Our driver/ tour guide Dion or Diou was very good at his job. He interacts with his passenger in a way he answers all their questions.

John B is the best! - We had a fantastic time on our tour. Our guide, John B, was one of the friendliest and most knowledgable tour guides I've ever experienced. I highly recommend Lally Tours, and would definitely tour with them in the future.

The Cliffs of Moher and Aillwee cave are something everyone should see if going to Ireland. - We did this tour with a few other friends and every one of us had a great experience. This tour is worth the money, and if you get Gerry as your bus driver, you will not be disappointed. He was awesome!! From his knowledge of every neighborhood along the tour, to his remarkable ability to drive the bus through some very tight roads along the way, he was truly amazing. We couldn't have asked for better weather. And that makes a huge difference, when seeing the cliffs. We could see for miles, and they are just an amazing sight. I also thought the Aillwee caves tour was great too. It's an extra 10euro to go through, but it's worth it. It's 45 min and it's a very cool experience. It gets chilly in there so dress accordingly. There is also a stop at a local pub for lunch, Gerry picked a place called Fitzpatrick's. It serves only local food that comes from no more than 30m away. And you could tell. Everything was so fresh. The seafood chowder was DELICIOUS!! It's a meal on its own. I can't say enough good things about this tour, the bus was comfortable and clean, (it has a small toilet), if you need it, the driver was awesome, and the tour was great and just long enough. I highly recommend Lally's for your tour needs.

Galway, Cliffs of Moher by Shane! - Wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our all day bus tour out of Galway to the Cliffs of Moher with our terrific guide, Shane. Full of history, music & local flavor, he ran a tight ship time-wise with so many places to see. We had plenty of time at each. The castle was a quick walk around and then on to the strikingly beautiful Cliffs of Moher on this breezy clear day. We then had a quick stop at a glacially scraped limestone plain with sea creatures embedded that defied understanding. We enjoyed a good Irish Pub lunch and then to the Cave. All along Shane shared historical events of great interest while negotiating some of the sharpest of curving roads I’ve ever traveled in a large tour bus! He’s a marvelous guide that I highly recommend you ask for should you book this outstanding tour.

Disappointing tour - Unfortunately the stops weren't followed, and we didn't get to visit Doolin. They had us have lunch in a typical restaurant, very cute but it had limited options, and I felt forced to have lunch where they told me to. The only positive thing was the Cliffs, but the rest was avoidable.
