Daas was our driver and he was a very good driver and such a gentleman. Highly recommend.”

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 319 reviews · from $85

Dublin to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher day trip with a guided Galway stop, Burren coastal drive, lunch time in Liscannor, and skip-the-line cliffs access.

“Love our guide and transportation. His driving skills are too notch especially on those narrow curvy roads going to the cliffs. Galway was too short for this visit. Only 1 hour. I was looking forward to Galway but barely saw any of it. Would probably be better if we didn’t stop at one of the castles on the way since we weren’t even able to see it up close. Long day in transport. Cliffs of mover was worth it eventhough it was mostly foggy when we were up there. I would still do this trip just for that.”
