Alans’ enthusiasm and passion for the Wild Atlantic Way and Galway in particular is evident to everyone who tours with him. Alan enjoys sailing and fishing with his family on Lough Derg when not on tour. A keen runner, Alan has been known to train along the coastal pathway at the Cliffs of Moher, so keep an eye out for him during our Cliffs of Moher stop. Alan is also a regular visitor to Florida, one of his favourite holiday destinations. During school holidays and in keeping with our family orientated tours, Alans young son often accompanies him on tour and is always good for a song or two on the way home.

Great tour! Our driver made the ride not only interesting, but funny as well with the jokes he told along the way. We stopped multiple times during the trip, visiting a castle, along with a pub! I absolutely recommend, especially if you don't have a rental car and want to see the Cliffs!

Chris was an awesome tour guide to the Cliffs and back. He was so funny and shared a lot of interesting stories about the history of farming in Ireland and the country in general. We stopped at a lot of places along the way to stretch our legs and take really lovely pictures. If you're in Galway, I highly recommend booking a tour to the Cliffs or any of the other tours they offer.
