Itinerary
We leave historic Limerick City, and en-route we will view King Johns Castle and the river Shannon. We continue via County Clare to the west coast of Ireland.
We spend 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher - one of the world's greatest natural attractions. The cliffs stand 1/3 the size of the Empire State Building and have large populations of puffins and gannets. You can enjoy a hike or a relaxed walk, while gazing in amazement at this geological and natural beauty. The Cliffs of Moher also have shops and restaurants, anything from snacks and souvenirs available in plenty. Visitor charges at the Cliffs are included in the tour price saving you EUR 10.00. You will also receive a complimentary ticket to the award winning Atlantic Edge exhibition that examines all aspects of the mighty Cliffs of Moher.
We depart from the Cliffs of Moher for a stop in Liscannor a tiny west of Ireland village where you may wish to enjoy a delicious local lunch (optional), maybe a seafood chowder or lamb stew with a regional craft beer (optional). There are options to suit everyone from red meat to vegan and everything in between. On the way we will have superb views of the Atlantic coast and the Aran Islands.
This afternoon we'll round off the day by taking a spectacular drive along the coast through the limestone scenery of the Wild Atlantic Way. The region all around us is known as the Burren - incredible local landscape!
On the way back to Limerick we'll stop for refreshments, restrooms and coffee, sodas, water etc. Instead of stopping at a motorway service station this refreshment stop will be at medieval Bunratty Castle - much more interesting! Enjoy a brief stroll to stretch your legs, grab some quick photos and maybe some quick souvenir purchases from the shop. We'll soon be back on the road to have you back in Limerick to freshen up ahead of evening entertainment arrangements.
We leave Bunratty Castle for the short return drive to Limerick. The tour finishes at 16:30 approx. (Passengers from.UL please note that due to traffic conditions you will be dropped off in the city center)

Very good, many beautiful views. Very well organized by the provider, very nice stops To do.
The cliffs are fantastic as is the stop at the baby cliffs. You do get some amazing views.The lunch stop is a high quality well organised buffet. The coach was very comfortable. The entrance to the cliffs site is very commercialised with tacky gift shops and dire coffee. The trip is about 3 hours off the coach to about 5.5 hours on it.
Very nice tour very great experience after driver was very informative and very friendly. Super knowledgeable and very considerate of everybody’s needs.
The stops along the way were spectacular! Driving the Wild Atlantic Way is an awe inspiring experience if you are the kind of person to enjoy the scenery as you go. If you are likely to just sleep on a bus, then I reccomend doing each of these stops individually.
So I read through the reviews and was a little nervous but want to say I had a great time . The bus was clearly marked , and in true Iris fashion arrived a little past departure time but we quickly left and our driver DJ was amazing he honestly is what made the tour great . Funny and had good info of the area for us . For the people reading people got left behind .. he didn’t leave anyone behind and was very clear on the rules .. this is time we leave with or without you because they can only park the bus for certain times and that’s it . We stayed two hrs almost at the cliffs which was perfect , drove through the Burrens fun fact tour buses can’t stop anymore there because people kept stealing rocks so government had changed this not the tour company . Had lunch and stopped one other place for break and shopping. You are mostly paying for the transportation and the cliffs long as you know this you’ll have good time . Beautiful drive , comfortable seats and usb section for phones but it hangs from ceiling your cord so bring one long enough for that . Thanks again DJ for your humor you made the tour fun.
I did not enjoy the trip that much it will be btter if you want to visit cliff of moher to go by your own Generally I found Howth cliff walks better than cliff of moher one But if you decided to go there you can rent a car or find away using transportations
Anya (tour guide) and Bill (driver) were super friendly, kind and accommodating. Overall a wonderful trip but here are some ways it could be better 1) increased narrative about the significance of places we're visiting - the history, culture and what to expect & do when we arrive. 2) the lunch stop at Liscanor was a total waste of time & cost us at least 1.5 hours - the lunch could have been combined with the Cliffs of Mohr with some pre arrangement or at another spot where we could have either 'grab & go' or if there was meaning ful spot to actually see stuff. 3) it was a disappointment that you didn't actually have time to see the Bunratty castle. Saving time at lunch to enable people to see this would be good. And maybe have a condensed 'tour' of the castle offered if those wanted to do it. It's an entry of €18 with 10% discount & even more with a group discount. So the €10-15 & this could be accommodated with the tour price.
It is absolutely a must-see and a must-do. It is visually stunning, and the guide did not speak too quickly, which is appreciated when one does not master English very well.
Thomas was a Super guide. He worked hard to give us a great day and we really did. Smashing day. Had a great time. The cliffs and the Wild Atlantic way are very beautiful. Still has time to walk around Limerick’s own castle and cathedral and see some live music in a pub when we got back on the same day
Great tour with interesting facts given by driver/guide. Helped that the sun shone but the views were stunning. Would have given 5 stars but driver said he was Arsenal supporter 🤣
