Dublin to Bunratty Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Burren Galway by Rail

Good connections and tour guides. Paul was entertaining and attentive as we covered lots of territory on a long day trip from Dublin.

This is well worth the money - the train journey was soooo lovely, to just watch the beautiful countryside go by and the coach journey was fantastic too. The whole trip was made by John, who was our guide. So knowledgeable about everything we went past with a fantastic sense of humour and just made everyone feel so well looked after. We even had a rainy Cliffs of Moher but nothing could dampen the overall 10/10 experience!! Would 100% recommend:) thanks John and our amazing driver, love Catherine and Ann x

Really enjoyed the trip and the guide (Paul) and driver (Michael) did a great job. Bunratty castle guided tour was interesting and the folk park was nice to walk around. The Cliffs of Moher are amazing and we lucked out with great weather. Walking up was not strenuous for someone in decent shape. They did offer a cart for those needing mobility assistance (not sure if there was a fee). The stop in Galway allowed time for dinner and a little walk around before boarding the train back, but not a significant amount of time for sight-seeing. If you really want to spend time in Galway you might want to do the option to stay overnight at a Galway hotel and come back the next day (I didn’t do that so not reviewing that). My one complaint/warning is definitely to not rely on train food on the way from Dublin to Limerick. The description said breakfast was offered on the train, but it was just a snack cart with packaged food, not many options. The train station had coffee/food available and you would definitely have a better meal from the train station (Heusten) than from the cart on the train. Overall I would recommend this for a great experience.

A long day to be sure, but Paul kept it on pace, on time, and on humor. The combo of train and small coach was just right to get a feel for another part of this beautiful country and its people. Spending a few hours in Galway was a good way to experience another Irish city. Very impressed with the amount of Irish history I absorbed on this excursion. And, it was, in my opinion a value for the amount of activities and duration of the trip.

John is a great tour guide. Very kind. Keeps people engaged. Taking the train out to the countryside is great. It's the main reason I chose this tour over others. I knew the day was going to be long, but I wonder if there's any way to make it shorter. Going to Galway didn't seem worth it to me. I'd rather do the castle, then cliffs, then journey back to Dublin without detours. Overall, it was a long, but nice day.

We loved it! Beautiful from start to finish, and our guide Paul was very attentive and kind at all times! Thank you, Paul

Paul O’Niell and Michael did an excellent job~ sharing insights of the surroundings on the way to Galway. Very professional and funny!! We are a group of 4 friends~ had a blast. Thank you

Paul O’Neill was amazing!! He was funny, witty and very knowledgeable. It was a brilliant day with him as our guide.

Long day but very well organized. Planning ahead we should have stayed the night in Galway and taken the train back to Dublin the next day. Your belongings/suitcase can stay with the bus which helps. Lastly, our guide Norman was wonderful & knowledgeable. Great asset to this company.

Norman is a lovely human and wonderful guide. The Cliffs are absolutely stunning and we were fortunate to get a sunny, warmish day w/ no rain! It does make for a long day, though. Make sure to be well rested.
