Cliffs of Moher tour
Had an amazing time, our guide Anthony was so lovely and taught us so much about the culture and history of galway and the places we visited. We even got to hop out of the bus at some bonus photo opportunities along the way which was an added plus and much appreciated.

Amazing day at the Cliffs of Moher
Tour was amazing and our driver Noel was fantastic. A must do while visiting Galway
via Tripadvisor
Cliffs. Rain. Wind. Still jolly good.
The experience was top-notch; well, OK, the weather was a gale force wind driven rain storm. The experience was made all the better with Noel, who is knowlegable on all manner of things, witty and entertaining. He played songs, told stories and kept the drive engaging. Best part, he pivoted with the icky weather conditions and shortened our time at the cliffs for more time for the pub. He stopped along the way to let us get some great shots of Galway Bay in a less unfavorable spot weatherwise. Wish the weather had been nicer but it was interesting to see the power of the North Atlantic with a good tour company and pleasant comapnions!

Frances made the tour
Hands down, the best tour I have ever taken, and it’s all because of Francis. I’ve visited several different countries and taken dozens of tours, and Francis is by far the best tour driver and director I’ve ever had. He navigated Ireland’s narrow roads with incredible precision and confidence, but what truly set him apart was the thought and care he put into the experience. It is obvious that Francis takes immense pride in his country and genuinely loves showing it off to those who have chosen to explore his homeland. He was thoughtful about the information he shared, knowing when to provide fascinating context and when to simply let us take in our surroundings. Every detail of the day felt carefully curated, and his warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. If the company has an Employee of the Year award, Francis wins it by a mile. And considering that every person I interacted with was incredibly kind and welcoming, that should tell you just how exceptional he was. Francis didn’t just drive us around Ireland. He made the experience unforgettable. I would take another tour with him in a heartbeat.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.
How much does 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galway is not rushed.
Is 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 771 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour?
+
Around 270 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Galway?
+
On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Galway?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Galway?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour?
+
Included: Cliffs of Moher Entry Fee; Professional Local Driver/Guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Live commentary on board. Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; and Pickup from all locations ( except main departure point ). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 12:00 Cliffs of Moher Tour?
+

+
