One recent review from October 31, 2024, captures the essence of this journey:

“Our private tour of the Cliffs of Moher and Galway was a beautiful drive through the Irish countryside with explanations of Irish history and folklore. Each castle we passed came with a story and invitations to stop and visit.”

As you traverse the Burren, you’ll encounter the ancient Poulnabrone Dolmen and the picturesque village of Doolin, where a stop at Gus O’Connor’s Pub offers a taste of traditional Irish music and hearty fare. A review from October 17, 2024, highlights the tour’s charm:
