Lovely places to visit and decent amount of time to spend on ones own. Our guide, Aoife was super helpful and even shared tips and offered to answer any questions we had on ireland in general. Daas was our driver and he was a very good driver and such a gentleman. Highly recommend.”

The process of the whisky making was explained in detail, alongside the history of the distillery, and the tasting was guided in an informative manner, with provision to be able to enjoy it even if you didn’t want to/couldn’t drink all the whisky. Would totally recommend doing it either way, a highlight of our trip!Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,755 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $96

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.”
