Truly excellent experience! Booking was easy, communication was great, and the tour itself was fun and informative!Our guide, Carroll (absolutely spelled wrong), was superb! She made the tour informative without being pedantic, she individualized conversation, and made the whole tour warm and enjoyable!Second only to Carroll were the scones themselves!Highly recommend!

Amazing insight into Inisheer whilst cycling
Such a fun day! The boat ride to Inisheer was fairly rough, I had the lucky seat (took one for the team) and received most of the spray on the front of my pants (note to perhaps not sit on the aisle if it's choppy). Fortunately, it was not chilly and my pants dried as we cycled. I would suggest an e-bike (your knees will thank you), whilst there are only a few hills, a couple are quite steep and some folks walked their bikes up them. Phil was a fun tour guide and had interesting stories to share along the way, as well as the history of all of the islands - much appreciated. Ollie was also guiding a tour and stopped to say hello - it was great to meet him, as well. The tea and scones after our ride were delicious. Thankfully, the boat ride back was calmer. Recommended!

Great experience! The 8am tour was fantastic because the Cliffs were a lot less busy than when we left at 11:30. Super easy and our bus driver was awesome.

Great half day bus
Express bus up to the cliffs was exactly as expected. The bus driver was really great! Knowledgeable and funny, giving us history and facts throughout the drive up. Two hours at the top is more than enough to see everything and get a bathroom break, and visit the gift shop. Easy way to see the cliffs if you didn’t want to spend your whole day doing it

What an amazing walk through a beautiful part of the world! Murph was a fantastic guide! Be advised that there are some long steep sections to walk up, but most of it (80%) is an easy stroll.

Private Half Day Tour To Connemara

This tour was our favorite day of our trip!
We had the absolute best time on this tour! Our guide Joe was so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating! When we mentioned we hadn’t been able to get coffee or breakfast at our hotel, he immediately offered to take us to the most amazing place called Sullivan’s Country Grocer where we had delicious coffee and cinnamon rolls before heading on our way! We even asked him to stop there on our way back so we could pick up lunch! Our tour through Connemara was nothing short of breathtaking. We stopped at several scenic spots where Joe offered to take the most beautiful photos of us along the way. We saw a sheepdog demonstration at his suggestion and weren’t disappointed at all! We then toured Kylemore Abbey and its gardens with him. It was truly such a beautiful day and we are so grateful to have had him as our guide!

Tour the West Coast of Ireland with a Local
Trevor made our day exploring the west coast of Ireland extra special. He was incredibly flexible and went out of his way to help us see places we might not have been able to experience otherwise. He even found us a wonderfully intact castle to tour and made sure our priorities were met throughout the entire day.Having grown up in County Clare, Trevor brought such a personal perspective to the experience. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his own stories and connections to the places we visited, made the day feel much more meaningful than a typical tour.Trevor was accommodating, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making sure we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend touring with him!

Walking the Moher Cliffs
This is a fantastic walk!! Our 2 guides were wonderful - Vince and Pat were such a good storytellers and the pride they felt for the land and their family history was contagious. The four hours flew by - even in the wind! I would do this activity again in a heartbeat.

Great fun!
Had a great time with Trevor. Was staying in Lisdoonvarna for the matchmaking festival and treated myself to a custom tour. Mentioned that I’d like to meet the matchmaker Willie and Trev’s father in law took me over to see him. Recommend that you book with Trevor, his father in law and the Mountain View horse riding center if time permits.

Private Half Day Tour To Connemara

The Best day and guide!
D.C., our tour guide, was absolutely the best! We had a spectacular day and learned so much about the history of Ireland and enjoyed special stops along the way to the Kylemore Abbey, where we enjoyed lunch and a walking tour at our pace of the grounds and castle. Not only was our tour and tour guide perfect, so was the weather, which made the experience even better. We cannot thank D.C. enough for his attention, caring attitude, and graciousness the entire day. He made the tour personal, with special touches that made us feel like real VIPs.. even stopping to let us feed the local lambs! Thank you Cool Destinations and DC! We highly recommend this company and tour guide.

A must do experience!
This was a truly excellent experience. Bike ride through gorgeous countryside with a cute stop for lunch at a place with a nice cafe and lovely shops (much nicer than the touristy souvenirs in the more touristy areas.) The electric assist made the pedaling relatively easy even though I haven’t been riding regularly of late. The guide was solicitous and we learned interesting things about peat harvesting. Bring rain gear just in case. This was a splurge for us, but this is the best thing we’ve done on our trip to Ireland, and the most memorable
