Highlights
  • Bunratty Castle and Folk Park - After arriving to Limerick, we head out to Bunratty Castle. The castle was completed in 1425 and, after many years of neglect, has been restored to its former glory. There is a folk park here and many of the buildings
  • including the village
  • were dismantled at various locations in the region and rebuilt, brick by brick, at their present location.
  • Cliffs of Moher - Enjoy some free time at the Cliffs of Moher - among some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
  • The Burren - From the Cliffs of Moher, we take the coast road for much of the way to Galway, with time for photos along The Burren. This is a national park and the word Burren comes from the Irish Language and means
  • rocky place
    -. It is a unique lunar landscape of limestone. Today the Burren is noted for its diverse flora with few parallels elsewhere in Ireland or, indeed, Europe. As time permits, we will make a short stop here for photographs.

Excellent tour. Would recommend. - Our tour was amazing! David was an excellent guide and our driver, Michael I believe, was the best. The tour was exactly as stated - even better. David genuinely cared that everyone was well taken care of and that all was well along the way. He was very knowledgeable and communicated very effectively. Thank you for a great tour!

Breathtaking views and amazing guide - John, our guide for the day was absolutely amazing! He was always there to answer questions and was extremely helpful due to the fact that I needed extra help because I hurt my knee prior to the trip. The Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking and with the help of John always being there I was able to get my photo taken whenever I wanted. John 10,0000/10 would recommend him

Worth it! - Our tour guide, John, was the best part of the tour. He was so sweet, enthusiastic, and genuine. We packed so much into one day but it was very worth it. From the Cliffs to the Burren and finally some free time in Galway - it was a great opportunity to see a lot of the West coast in a very short period. Its an incredible deal for the price. I would strongly recommend this to anyone interested in staying in Dublin who wants to see the Cliffs!

Amazing all day trip to Cliff of mohers, Burton, and Galway - The tour was amazing! The Viator app was useful. It gave directions, updates, reminders of the trip. The guide, Brian, was knowledgeable, personable, and energetic! The transportation was on time and comfortable seating. Our seats were reserved so we didn’t have to worry about finding a seat on the trains. The spot for lunch was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour

Great Dublin day trip - Brendan was a fantastic guide. The trains ran on time and he made sure we knew where to get off and where to go. My only complaint about this trip is I didn’t think about the fact that it was winter and would be dark everytime on the train so couldn’t enjoy the scenery! Ample time at all spots. Limerick was just a drive through. Great tour and highly reccomend.
