A must see for my wife on our recent trip to Ireland was a visit to the Aran Islands. When we arrived in Galway we saw that many AI tours were available, but our hotel recommended Faherty Tours and we're glad we listened. Michael Faherty's family has been on the islands for many generations and he brought a personal insight... More

My boyfriend and I actually found out about Michael's Tour almost by chance, browsing the web. We booked online, after exchanging a couple of emails with Michael, who is kind and fun. All in all, a real professional. Travelling with him was a great experience. He knew all the anecdotes and the breathtaking spots of the largest island... A piece... More

I am not a huge fan of tours, but they can be extremely convenient for seeing otherwise inaccessible places. This one was perfect! The Aran Islands were one of the most beautiful and impressive places I have ever been, and I feel so lucky to have taken this tour. Michael is the best guide ever, with tons of information, an...

I've been to 3 tours in Ireland, and this one is higly the best one... As I am not an English native speaker, it was very easy to understand what the guide was saying, it was very clear. As he is an inhabitant of the island, he knows perfectly each parts of the island. The guide was really competent, professional... More

The Aran Islands are truly amazing. Scenery is fantastic, and I love the peaceful relaxed atmosphere on the island. But what makes this tour so memorable is Michael. No other tour guide could have the same in dept knowledge, humour & personality as this man. On our tour, we asked question after question after question. Michael was able to answer... More

Michael Faherty puts together a great day on Inish More, starting at 9:30 at the New Galway Bus Station and ending back there around 6:30. All included (except Admission to Dun Angus fortress) -- best feature is Michael's native-son perpective. Second best feature, the small group size. It's a value at 40 euros. Michael is low key, knowledgeable and comes... More

Had an amazing day with Michael on Inis Mor. His personal knowledge and pleasant demeanor made for a great tour. Especially liked that we had time at each stop to really enjoy the location - we weren't herded off and on the bus in order to race to the next place. When planning a trip to Galway, definitely set aside... More

If you do not have time enough to stay overnight on Inis Mor than pick Michael's tour and you won't be disappointed. Every single step of the journey is well organized so that you don't have to worry about times but just sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful places you'll visit. Michael will drive you along the picturesque Connemara... More

There are a couple of different tours offered of the Aran Islands, and this tour includes everything to get the most out of the experience including a native tour guide. Michael was very considerate and very informative answering all and any questions our bus load had. This was an amazing day spent at a breath taking place. After a lot... More
