Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway
Description
We depart Galway at 10:00 and begin your tour by exploring the Burren region. The first stop is Dunguaire Castle and Kinvara, where we take approximately 15 minutes to view the outside of the castle. Continuing on to Poulnabrone Dolmen, one of the most ancient religious sites in Ireland at 5800 years old, we make another short stop of approximately 10-15 minutes. We then stop in the quaint fishing village of Doolin to enjoy some lunch for around 45-50 minutes (lunch is NOT included in the ticket cost). After that, we arrive at the Cliffs of Moher where we have a stop of 2 hours of free time. This is the highlight of the day with ample time to walk the cliff edge and enjoy one of the most incredible natural sites in the world! Once finished, we return to Galway via the Coast Road with spectacular views over the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, returning to Galway city centre at 18:15.

John is so funny, we laughed on his bus like all the day. Nobody cares about the fog on the clifs.
Dave was great! He was informative friendly and fun! Beautiful day on the Burren, Wild Atlantic Way and Cliffs!
Lovely day out. Great going as part of a group tour. Didnt have to worry about driving so could sit back and enjoy the experience. Our driver and tour guide Anthony collected us at the hotel and was very knowledgeable about all the locations we passed through. The island of inishsheer is beautiful. We did a tour of the island on the pony and trap and great to meet one of the islanders who lives there all year round, lovely pace of life.
Bring those sturdy walking shoes and get ready for breathtaking views and history! You will not want to miss this tour: ask for Timmy: best guide ever
Our tour guide was very knowledgable and funny. He was very kind and gave great instruction on our time limits and where / when we were going to our next stops! Would recommend doing this day trip.
Delightful excursion and interactions. The driver provided excellent running explanations and area history. The bus was comfortable, and the lunch stop just right.
This was a great trip. Got to see several stops along the way along with a surprisingly good lunch at a pub in Doolin. The view at the Cliffs was worth it. I didn’t expect much especially after seeing the same photos online. But seeing them in person is breathtaking. Tommy was a great bus driver and tour guide. Informative and kind.
Great trip with Richie. The weather had become very, very foggy. Richie told us to wait about 20 to 30 minutes and it would clear. It was interesting watching a cloud move away and seeing the cliffs appear!
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Gary, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. Great way to see a lot of the area in comfort.
Very well coordinated and planned. Enjoyed each stop as it allowed us to get up and stretch our legs. Our driver, Richie, provided great facts of the history of Galway with knowledge and humor. While the weather seemed to not want to cooperate, we ended up being able to take great photos of the Cliffs of Moher. Lunch was very good and efficient. Overall, loved the tour and would recommend to others
