What a lovely day! We booked the tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galways and Finn McCool Tours didn't disappoint. We could charge our phones on the bus, you just got to bring a USB charging cable. This made sure we had enough battery for all the pictures we took. Salah was an amazing busdriver, manouvering through the smalles streets even with other busses crossing and Chris (our Tourguide) was my...

Perfect day in the company of Harry (guide) and Pass (driver) who did not let us miss a thing.

The trip began promptly at 6:45am and ended right around 7:30pm in Dublin. Luke the guide and Anna the driver were phenomenal! They were friendly, profesional and a lot of fun. The trip was exactly I had imagined - or even better. I traveled with my teenaged son and he also had a great time. Would highly recommend.

We travelled to the Cliffs of Moher on Finn McCools Tours. Rowen and Eli were excellent and we would request them for any tour. Rowen left wonderful recommendations and tips to ensure we had a great time in Galway and the Cliffs. The cliffs are a must see when traveling Ireland. I would come back every single trip. The beauty is breathtaking. Thanks Rowen for a great trip!
