Nice tour for people without a car outside of Dublin

The tour was very good, and the Cliffs of Moher were beautiful. The time management, on the other hand, was a bit rough. We had a good amount of time at the Cliffs of Moher, but there wasn't much time at the castle stop. We had only 25 minutes to see both the park and the castle, which is impossible, especially since walking from the parking lot to the castle and back also takes some time. Also, the ticket to the castle costs €13 and is not included in the price of the tour. So we just took some photos from outside the castle and headed back to the bus, which was a bit underwhelming. Anyway, the tour itself is a nice option for anyone who can't rent a car. The tour guide was very nice and sweet as well.
