We met Michael at the bus station in Galway. From the time we got on his bus until the time we left him back in Galway, we felt like we had known him for a long time. You can tell that he really loves his job. The day that we went was cold, and it rained the entire time. That... More

I am not the kind of person who likes to have a guide. I like exploring places on my own and having time to enjoy them without someone telling me that its time to leave. But this time was different. I was so tired that I decided to travel across Inish Mor by bus. And I was lucky. Michael Faherty... More

We took a day tour with Michael of Faherty Tours to Inishmore, on the Aran Islands. He was a very considerate host, and obviously took great pleasure in introducing us to his hometown. He took us to beautiful sights, not just the ones that are mentioned in guide books. Michael obviously enjoys what he does, and his enthusiasm is readily... More

We would highly recommend Faherty Tours for their captivating Aran Islands tour. We went to Inis Mor and had a tremendous experience thanks to our tour guide, Michael. He is originally fron the Island and had a great insight into the culture and history of the island. We would highly recommend this tour as you will see a landscape and... More

The Aran Island came alive through Michael Faherty's expert eye...making us understand the essence and uniqueness of this last Gaelic island of just 800 original inhabitants. Blessed with a sunny blue sky, Michael drove us through the rugged rocky terrain - remnants of the ice age, an old ruined abbey with roman graves, traditional homes built with rock and thatched...

I recently visited Ireland for the first time with two friends. We had only four nights in Ireland and we spent one day touring Aran Islands with Michael from Faherty tours. It was well worth it! I appreciated his introduction (with a microphone which made it very easy to understand) in the bus on the way to the ferry as... More

Thanks to Michael and Feherty Tours this was the best day of our trip to Ireland. The Aran Islands are a "must see" for anyone in the area. The rugged landscape of Inis Mor is absolutely beautiful. Michael is a native of the island and he does a fantastic job with this tour. Well worth the money! Thank you Michael... More

Great Tour of the Aran Islands. I would recommend it to everyone. I did not meet Michael, but both tour guides were informative and friendly. They gave us a lot of history along with a tour of the sites. This tour is a great way to see all the points of interest on the Aran Islands, Dun Aengus, seven Churches,... More

I just got back from touring Inis Mor. We had a great time, Michael was full of information, and has a great sense of humor! It was really nice tour, the perfect balance of sightseeing and free time. Michael not only showed us all the sights and had lots of interesting facts about them, he also taught us a few... More

This was our first trip to Ireland for me, my husband and our best friend. We had 7 days in Galway and wanted to see at least one of the Aran Islands. We chanced on Faherty tours while visiting the local TI in Galway and are so glad that we decided to take the tour with Faherty Tours rather than... More
