The 15 Best Private Tours in Galway

Private Cliffs of Moher Day Tour - Stop 1, Dunguaire Castle: a medieval start with bay views

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 217 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $695Our pick

Private Galway day tour to the Burren and Cliffs of Moher with door-to-door deluxe transport, customizable stops, and big views.

“We enjoyed the cliffs, chocolate factory and sheep dogs. We’re surprised that the tour didn’t include the cost of any of the stops and we had to pay additional fees. Our driver Tom King while friendly, immediately put of Irish music as we parted and really didn’t talk to us unless we initiated the conversation. On the way back, he put on the football game and again didn’t share much unless we talked to him. We traveled with a group of 12 so had 2 vans, the other driver Owen was much friendlier and informative. Overall a bit, disappointing for Viator private tour.”

We shall definitely return!”

“It was fantastic to see the countryside in the comfort of private van. We stopped at several locations and picture taking was great. Only downside was the driver, although professional was too quiet(only talked about views if we asked) and his primary language was Romanian, therefore there was miscommunication. We wanted to be back to cruise port by 4 pm, boat was leaving at 6 pm. At 4:15, we asked how close we were to the port and we were still an hour out. He thought we wanted to be back at 6 PM. We had a very quick ride back, and did make it at 5:15. It would have…”

“This tour is an absolute must! Ulla is absolutely spectacular. She is the kindest, most caring, most informative tour guide you’ll ever find! We spent nine hours with her! We saw so much! The views are spectacular. The sites unforgettable. Ulla takes you to the “off the beat and path” locations and you feel like a local! She really caters to what you are looking for. I really wanted to take a plunge into the Atlantic and we stopped at a beautiful beach and I took the plunge. It was wonderful. The Kylemore Abbey is part of this trip and it is breathtaking. You’ll really enjoy it. We can’t say…”
