Itinerary
Pass by: 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.
Pass by: 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)

Traveler reviews
Good but could have been better
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.
An unforgettable day.
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.
Beautiful landscape tour
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
Sunny Cliffs of Moher
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 🤣
Enjoyable excursion!
The trip was well-paced and informative. My only wish was that there was time to tour Bunratty Castle vs just the short stop to walk the grounds. I was super impressed with the quality of the food at our lunch stop in Liscannor. I didn't have high hopes for a stop catering to tour buses, but the food was excellent.
