I have been studying abroad for over 4 months now and have been on several tours. This company provided, by far, the best tours! The guides are so friendly and keep things entertaining. While the sites are breathtaking and the information is informative, the guides kept it fun and interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour! more

We took the tour of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher with Desmond in mid-September and had a wonderful time. As others have said, Desmond is very entertaining and full of interesting information about the history and people of the area. The scenery was beautiful and we experienced lots of local color at our lunch stop at a pub in... more

I can not say enough about this one man show. I was lucky enough to have had him as driver on trip to Cliffs of Moher and he was execptional knowledgeable of the areas past and kept one and all entertained. Would without exception take another tour with this company. more

We were delighted with our day of touring in Connemara. Michael is a wealth of information including the story about the famine-ravaged farmers and their connection with the Native American Choctaws. We learned something about our own history, as well as Ireland's. Michael went the extra mile for us by making sure we were safely delivered back to our hotel.... more

Now I am sure, GTC was the best choice for my short trip in Galway. 2 days, 2 tours (Cliffs of Moher - Burren and Connemara - Conga). We had luck with the weather although I had to catch a cliff to not blow me off :) Places were wonderful, I could really relax there. Dear Declan, Desmond, Connor and... more

My friends and I went to Galway expecting to see many things without barely doing anything, but this tour caught our eye and we just jumped for the first opportunity. We're college students so this excursion was cheap with beautiful views and a ton of information. Desmond was my bus driver and he was the funniest guy ever!! I loved... more

Our son , who is spending a semester at NUI, used Galway Tour Company. He raved about the experience and urged us to go on a tour. We followed his advice and were not disappointed in our brief visit to Galway to see our son . Our bus drive and guide, Michael, has a wealth of knowledge to impart and... more

We took the tour, both to the cliffs of Moher and Connemara. Both tours are definitley worth the time and money. But if you only have time to do one tour, you should absolutley go to the cliffs. It was spectacular. A pure bonus was the nice busdriver Desmond and his leprechaun. more

My roommate and I took the Galway Tour Company's Bus tour of Connemara & Cong. It was a great experience and definitely enhanced our stay in Galway. Michael, our tour guide, was hilarious! He cracked tons of fun jokes that made the tour much more enjoyable. On top of being funny, he was a fountain of knowledge about the entire... more

Originally, me and my sister wanted to do a different tour, but unfortunatelly there was a mudslide the night before, so our tour was cancelled, that's why we joined GTC. THe highlight of the tour was definitely the Kylemore Abbey, the building and the gardens were beautiful. THe weather wasn't very friendly with us, it was misty and drizzly all... more

Sorry to hear about your experiences - mudslides, bad jokes and not getting to the islands. However I just want to point out that the Galway Tour Company run smaller sized coaches to get to more off the beaten path parts of Connemara such as the beautiful Lough Nafooey that appeared in your pictures. Therefore it would not be correct...
