A fast-paced day trip from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, and Galway, with coach comfort and included Moher admission.

“The only gripe I have with this tour is that this is a large tour group ferried in a double deck bus. I understand this is more economical, but when you have so many people in a tour, inevitably someone is late coming back which impacted an already tight schedule. The day we visited the cliffs were glorious: no wind with lots of sun. But I would prefer a smaller group.”

“I was one of a group of ten for our trip to the Cliffs of Moher. It was a most interesting place to visit and all the group enjoyed the trip. Originally we had booked a tour which included a visit to Galway city but this particular tour became unavailable. Instead during the trip to the Cliffs we travelled through The Burren and on part of the Wild Atlantic Way and this was interesting and made up for missing our visit to Galway city. The Cliffs themselves are well worth visiting with lovely views out to sea and along the coastline. Liam our driver and tour guide made the day…”
