Cliffs of Moher & Galway Bay private tour or Galway city day trip

We recently returned from a bucket list trip to Ireland. Prior to the trip, we had the crazy idea that we would rent a van and drive ourselves around Dublin, and to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. BAD BAD BAD IDEA. Did I mention that we are from the US? Which means we drive on the opposite side of the road and our streets are MUCH wider. Thankfully, we stumbled across Eamonn. Wow, wow, wow. This guy is passionate about his heritage and his country and it shows in everything he does. He took the time to educate us on Irish history which included music and storytelling. He made this an experience, so much more than a tour guide. He took us to local restaurants, local shops and off the beaten path castles/landmarks that were over the top. We enjoyed him so much that we booked him for a second day to take us to a local sheep farm and a manor house that is open to the public. I highly recommend Eamonn. He is a fantastic person and truly goes the extra mile to make sure you have an amazing experience.

Dear Eamonn, I wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible tour you provided for my group of six around Ireland. After finding you on TripAdvisor and reading your excellent reviews, we had high expectations, and you truly exceeded them. Your extensive knowledge of Irish history was fascinating, and you made every historical site come alive. Beyond that, your accommodating nature ensured that we saw some truly unique and off-the-beaten-path places that we would never have discovered on our own. You were not only informative but also a lot of fun, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking for an exceptional tour guide in Ireland. If I find myself heading to Dublin again, you will be the first person I reach out to. Thank you again for making our trip so memorable. It was a truly great time! Teri

Eamonn came highly recommended by a friend in New Jersey where I live. I was telling the friend how I knew I wanted to propose in Ireland but knew nothing about the country. I reached out to Eamonn and he not only called the me to discuss my wants/needs, but gave advice on hotels, places to see, scheduling, flights to take, even where to pop the question! I booked him for the first 3 days, a different adventure each day and I wish I'd booked all 5! His communication is second to none, he's punctual, knowledgeable, and fun! We plan on returning to that beautiful country next year and won't schedule the trip until I know his ability, he's THAT good. Thank you Eamonn, see you soon!

Eamonn was hands down the best tour guide you could ask for. He knew his music, he knew his drink, he knew his history, and most importantly he knew his country. He was warm, personable, honest, and catered the conversation to our interests. The Cliffs were great, but ultimately it’s Eamonn and his perspective that made the experience truly unforgettable.

Eamonn is a fantastic tour guide, driver, and entertainer. The trip was worth the time and the price. He adjusted the tour to ensure we had the best view of the Cliffs of Moher. The visit to Galway put us there at a great time to explore the city. He walked us to some super places and his advice was spot on. He made the time personal. Loved the introduction to Ireland. Book him!

Eamonn was our amazing driver, tour guide, and entertainer. The day was truly special. Having a driver like Eamoon introduced us to the Ireland sights from a fresh perspective.

Eamonn was an exceptional tour guide! Truly one of the best! Great recommendations and communications for the moment I contacted him. His response to each question I had during booking and recommendations for lodging and dinner were top notch. Transportation was immaculate and all the extra touches he provided cannot be matched! We spent three days with Eamonn. Each day was unique, fun and educational. His ability to take us off the beaten path and truly experience Dublin and Ireland was incredible! Such an authentic tour and a once in a lifetime trip! We highly recommended booking with Chaperone VIP Private Tours!

The day trip to Galway was a great one. The cliffs were shrouded in deep heavy fog so we couldn’t see anything at all but the bus stopped at Burren which had mini cliffs and the wild Atlantic way sea so we did not miss out. Galway is the city of music and surpassed my expectations … it was a stunning day out

This adventure is one of the kind, highly recommended, worth every penny, but the difference maker was Eamonn, he is the most caring, wonderful storyteller , so knowledgeable in Irish history, culture, pubs, music, absolutely the most incredible tourist guide I have ever encounter in Europe. From the very beginning he made sure our experience will be totally EPIC, we started punctual picked up at our hotel in a great comfortable van for our family of five, with plenty snacks, water and even local whiskey tasting along our journey, SUPERB! We had a beautiful ride along Galway admiring it’s unique landscape and stunning nature, stopping for pictures in its vibrant town, castles, a stop to feed donkeys, one of my daughters was crazy about petting cows and he made it possible, we also stopped at a local family Hazel Mountain chocolate factory for Irish craft chocolate tasting (yummy)! We were blessed with gorgeous sunny weather to admire the Cliffs of Moher, simply AMAZING! Also Eamonn made sure he was taking pictures of us in every stop! He even went beyond and above by providing a printed picture of the whole family in one of the stops to send a post card to one of my daughter who couldn’t join us in this fabulous adventure, that was totally high touch super especial thoughtful idea! On our way back from the Cliffs we stop to eat at Vaughan’s Seafood and Oyster Bar a Burren Restaurant with Michelin star in 2021, absolutely wonderful food! A quick stop at Barack Obama Plaza for pictures and we continue our trip back to Dublin that passed so fast because we were entertained by Eamonn with stories, folklore, music and so much more from this amazing country, he was so funny, and incredibly sweet with my 85yo mother always checking for her comfort and marking sure she had a wonderful time! Before dropping us back in the hotel once we arrived to Dublin we made a quick stop to meet his family Kim and his pug Angie (we have a pug ourselves and we were so happy by this personal touch of taking us to meet his lovely family). I cannot even say enough wonderful things about this incredible trip, it was an unforgettable memorable experience! Thank you Eamonn! YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!!

We had a great time with Eamonn! Don’t hesitate to book this tour. We had a nice drive from Dublin through the countryside to Galway and learned a lot about Irish music along the way. We spent time in Galway admiring the old architecture, found a nice pub and even had some shopping time . Afterwards we headed towards the Cliffs, stopping at a lovely little chocolate shop along the way and a pub for lunch. The scenery was gorgeous and we took lots of great photos. The weather was good and we were able to get some great pics at the Cliffs. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
