Itinerary
Choose from one of two convenient central Dublin collection points (see booking calendar). We'll soon be on our way and enjoy a picturesque drive across the green farmland of Ireland to bohemian Galway.
All going smoothly, we expect to reach Galway city by 11:00 approx. You'll enjoy approximately 2 hours in Galway. There's lots to see and do, but the city is quite compact. Take a stroll through the JFK Memorial Park at Eyre Square, enjoy an ice cream on the Salthill Promenade or pick up local specialities such as Claddagh Rings (Thomas Dillon on Quay Street) & Aran Sweaters (O'Maille's on High Street). Those who wish to sit back and people watch can relax over a pot of tea and scones at Cupan Tae (8 Quay Lane), a quaint Irish tea shop. For those of you who have had a late one in Temple Bar, these guys also do a mean Full Irish Breakfast including sausages, bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, tomatoes and soda bread with Kerrygold butter
Sit back and relax as we drive the short distance from Galway to Lisdoonvara along the Burren coastal route. Take in amazing vistas of the limestone countryside as we pass through ancient parishes such as Clarinbridge, Kilcolgan, Kinvarra and Ballyvaughan.
Arrive at 14:30 approx for lunch in the tiny Co. Clare village of Liscannor. Delicious local food and drink options await. Depart Liscannor approx 15:15
We arrive at the world famous Cliffs of Moher (approx 15:30), one of the world's great natural attractions where you can enjoy a relaxed walk and breathtaking views. The Cliffs of Moher are 66% as tall as New York's Empire State and stretch for almost 10km. Forming part of the edge of Western Europe, this landscape really is a "must see" on a visit to Ireland. You'll enjoy 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher, which is just the right amount of time according to the 90,000 passengers who travel with us annually! Your entrance fee (EUR 12.00) is included in the price of this tour. Depart Cliffs of Moher at 17:00
We'll depart the Cliffs of Moher at 17:00 approx and make our way back to Dublin city. There will be a short stop in Birdhill, Co. Tipperary for a refreshment and restroom break. All going well, we expect to have you back in Dublin for approximately 20:30 in time for late dinner seatings and relaxation (tour finishes in the O'Connell Street / Temple Bar area).

Super upsetting! Arrived at pick up location and no one showed to pick us up. Ten minutes later,I called tour company to see where driver was. The lady claimed it had been canceled a few days prior. There was no notification of cancelation. Booked with viator and had received from viator reminder of tour the morning of.
I am very disappointed that nobody notify me about the cancelation of my tour today. We got up VERY early preparing for our full day tour to the Cliffs of Moher and I was waiting at the pick up point 15 minutes earlier standing there until 8:30 but no car shows up. I had to contact you trying to find out why the car did not show up and I was notified that my tour was canceled. This is not a good communication with your customers. If I knew my tour was cancelled, I would book another one earlier. I will make sure not to recommend any of your tours to all the people that I know who planning to visit Ireland in the future. Basically, my day was ruined because of you!
Brian was very helpful, informative and very pro-active in initiating friendly conversations with everyone
Great trip! Gorgeous only negative was the driver kept rushing us. Less stops with longer times would be better
Our driver/guide today, Michael, could not have been more entertaining. From keeping us well informed about the sites we were to see, to making sure everyone was comfortable in the bus, to telling us tales and stories about Ireland and the culture, I came away with the impression this man has the gift of the blarney. He had us laughing, everyone!
Bad experience the chofer /guide was in a rush for lunch since the beginning. Letting every spot 5-10 min before of the set time ( he set the time but assumed all where already in and left every time ) He left couple of people behind.
This was a great trip. There are two ways you can go to see the cliffs. Left or right. I'm not sure which is better. We went to the right. We went on a weekend and it was very crowded. The cliffs are amazing. Galway was a cute little town. I wish we had more time there.
We spend a second day with wild River touts. Julia, our guide and Colin, our driver took great care of us. Julia provided a wonderful overview of the history of Ireland and the areas we travelled to and through today. Colin had maneuver around some winding roads and did it with ease, keeping us on track with time and bringing us back safely. Highly recommend this tour.
We had an enjoyable day! Brian was a great driver! The lunch was nice - lots of choices. The weather was fabulous!
Our guide Harry was great. He explained in detail the history of Ireland, the individual regions and the Cliffs of Moher. Very entertaining were the interjections while driving past the sights. Our driver Nishty took us safely to the individual destinations. It was also a creative and great idea that Harry gave every traveller the opportunity to write down their music wish for the approximately 2.5 hour drive back from Galway to Dublin. Thank you very much, Harry and Nishty🫶🏻
