Cliffs of Moher, Burren and Galway Day Tour from Dublin

14.Cliffs of Moher, Burren and Galway Day Tour from Dublin

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

Leave Dublin at 6:50 am by air-conditioned coach for the Cliffs of Moher, the limestone Burren and Galway. A driver-guide narrates the long westbound journey, with guides such as Kevin, Richard and Johnathon praised for their stories and humor. Cliff admission is included; lunch is at your own expense. Expect a full day, tight stop times and weather that can change the views.

“I can't fault the company but everyone needs to understand that Irealand weather is unpredictable and you wont always get what you paid for. In this case, we did not get to see the Cliffs due to some intense fog and rain. It was a bummer but not the tour companies fault. Everything else sort of paled in comparison but the stop in Galway was nice and the sun finally came out. Again, the tour guide tried to make the most of it but not being able to see the main attraction was a bit of a let down.”
