Uncover the best of Cliffs of Moher Day Trip the local Way

"We booked two day tours with Derek: the Cliffs of Moher and Connemara. Apart from the wonderful landscapes, Derek showed us various places - no spoiler - and very nice restaurants. It was a brillant experience! Derek is kind of an encyclopedia (Wikipedia for the younger) about Ireland, the region, the history, the culture, the language, sports, etc. - his knowledge is so impressive! Derek is a splendid, very nice guide. We'll certainly return to Galway someday, and will certainly book a tour with him again. Thank you so much for the unforgettable days, Derek - go raibh míle maith agat!"

"We had planned a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher. Unfortunately, my wife's back was acting up and I didn't want to be too far from the hotel in case she was having difficulties. I explained this to Marius via text the day before our trip. He rearranged the entire itinerary to stay in the Dublin area and showed us some great local sights. Thanks Marius!!"

"Marius was an excellent tour guide! We did the main objective of the trip - Cliffs of Moher - but aside from that he customized the rest of the day trip to what interested us. We love nature and going off the beaten path so he took us to some hidden gems. But whether your interest is shopping, culture, nature, you name it - he has options for you! And don't let his non-native Irish heritage detour you - he knows so much about the history and culture and could answer all the questions we asked. He knows all the nooks and crannies of Ireland and impressed us all with the places he took us. He has so many tour options whether you have only 3 hours or several days- he will take you anywhere and do anything whether it's a family trip, friends or more. He was professional, prompt, personable & friendly. Would LOVE to have Marius take us around again!"

"Marius was a very good host, who showed us places we would've never thought to see. Absolutely kind and informative. Very chill experience we would happily book again. Thank you."

"This was our first time using WithLocals. It was recommended to us by a co-worker who had a great experience in Isreal. This was also our first time booking private tours instead of sitting in the back of a tour bus! OMG! So much better and so worth it! We originally booked a day trip to the Cliffs of Mohr. However, communication with our tour guide, Marius, in the days prior to our arrival, we soon realized that, due to our cruise port, we would have spent 3 hours one-way in the car to see the epic cliffs and not much else. We were maily interested in seeing the beatiful scenery of Ireland. So, Maruis suggested (and created) a completely custom itinerary that crammed so many amazing places into our tour. I am so glad he suggested the alternative. We were at Powerscourt Gardens when they opened and literally had the enourmous space to ourselves. We spent time at Powerscourt Waterfall, Glendalough, Glenmackness Waterfall, Guinness Lake and picked wild blueberries in the Wiklow Mountains at the very bridge that was used in the film P.S. I Love You! Marius, thoughtfully emptied a small plastic tub of gum into a napkin so that we had something to put the blueberries in. And they were amazing on our pancakes the next morning on the ship! He took us to the Heather Wicklow Restaurant where we treated him to lunch (Best Corned Beef I've ever had). Maruis was so genuine and fun to be with that he became an instant friend that we hope to stay in contact with. We did 8 tours over the twelve days we were in the British Isles and our time with Maruis was hands-down one of our favorites! "

"Marius was great. Very friendly. Very willing to adjust things for our likes. However it is a very very long drive to get to the Cliffs ( close to 4 hours) so once there you have very little time to see anything. With only 8 hours booked for this tour your actual time at the Cliffs is very short ( 45 minutes). The scenery along the way is quite beautiful there and back. And as I said Marius was wonderful If you have but one day to leave Dublin and see something more of Ireland ask Marius to recommend a different trip unless you are really set on seeing the Cliffs "

"We were so grateful to have Marius take us to the Cliffs of Moher. He gave us space to explore, took us for a lovely local lunch in a small village and gave us options for the route hope. He sprinkled in some pit stops at some known spots and some on the road less travelled! Thanks Marius!"

"An adventure across the Isle from Dublin in the East to the Cliffs of Moher in the West. The cliffs are dramatic, a nice walk along the coastal path above and also a tower to climb for better views. Scenic views on the return journey to Dublin visiting some ancient sites. We would say we spent more time in the car getting there and back than we had originally realised. A nice day out with an informative guide."

"At the last minute Marius was unable to make the day tour to the Cliffs of Moher but arranged for transport and a make-up historical walking tour of Dublin. All in all a creative solution to the unpredictable nature of travel. We were pleased to have that time with Marius as he promised to make us fall in love with Ireland. He was a font of knowledge on all things Ireland and I’m glad we found time to spend with him. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide!"
