Tour company suggestion for visiting Cliffs of Moher

We will be going from Dublin to Galway for 2 nights at the very end of October specifically to see the Cliffs of Moher.

We will not have a car and plan to arrive one day, take a tour from Galway to the Cliffs the next day and then return to Dublin the following day.

We see several companies online and wonder if anyone has a recommendation regarding the tour company they used to visit the Cliffs.

Also - I realize it is weather dependent (and who knows what we can expect at the end of October) but do you suggest a tour that includes seeing the Cliffs from the water combined with a shorter visit at the top of the Cliffs? Or skipping the view from the water and having more time at the top?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

It's been a long time since I visited the Cliffs of Moher and I've never seen them from the water but a friend took a tour a few years ago that included seeing them from the water. It was the end of August and the water was pretty rough (there was an Atlantic hurricane brewing). A number of people got sick on the boat. My friend is a boater and it would take a lot to make him seasick. YMMV.
