Itinerary
Pass by: Choose from one of two convenient central Dublin collection points (see booking calendar). We'll soon be on our way and enjoy a picturesque drive across the green farmland of Ireland to bohemian Galway.
All going smoothly, we expect to reach Galway city by 11:00 approx. You'll enjoy approximately 2 hours in Galway. There's lots to see and do, but the city is quite compact. Take a stroll through the JFK Memorial Park at Eyre Square, enjoy an ice cream on the Salthill Promenade or pick up local specialities such as Claddagh Rings (Thomas Dillon on Quay Street) & Aran Sweaters (O'Maille's on High Street). Those who wish to sit back and people watch can relax over a pot of tea and scones at Cupan Tae (8 Quay Lane), a quaint Irish tea shop. For those of you who have had a late one in Temple Bar, these guys also do a mean Full Irish Breakfast including sausages, bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, tomatoes and soda bread with Kerrygold butter
Sit back and relax as we drive the short distance from Galway to Lisdoonvara along the Burren coastal route. Take in amazing vistas of the limestone countryside as we pass through ancient parishes such as Clarinbridge, Kilcolgan, Kinvarra and Ballyvaughan.
Arrive at 14:30 approx for lunch in the tiny Co. Clare village of Liscannor. Delicious local food and drink options await. Depart Liscannor approx 15:15
We arrive at the world famous Cliffs of Moher (approx 15:30), one of the world's great natural attractions where you can enjoy a relaxed walk and breathtaking views. The Cliffs of Moher are 66% as tall as New York's Empire State and stretch for almost 10km. Forming part of the edge of Western Europe, this landscape really is a "must see" on a visit to Ireland. You'll enjoy 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher, which is just the right amount of time according to the 90,000 passengers who travel with us annually! Your entrance fee (EUR 12.00) is included in the price of this tour. Depart Cliffs of Moher at 17:00
Pass by: We'll depart the Cliffs of Moher at 17:00 approx and make our way back to Dublin city. There will be a short stop in Birdhill, Co. Tipperary for a refreshment and restroom break. All going well, we expect to have you back in Dublin for approximately 20:30 in time for late dinner seatings and relaxation (tour finishes in the O'Connell Street / Temple Bar area).

Traveler reviews
Canceled with no notice
Super upsetting! Arrived at pick up location and no one showed to pick us up. Ten minutes later,I called tour company to see where driver was. The lady claimed it had been canceled a few days prior. There was no notification of cancelation. Booked with viator and had received from viator reminder of tour the morning of.
Bad communication
I am very disappointed that nobody notify me about the cancelation of my tour today. We got up VERY early preparing for our full day tour to the Cliffs of Moher and I was waiting at the pick up point 15 minutes earlier standing there until 8:30 but no car shows up. I had to contact you trying to find out why the car did not show up and I was notified that my tour was canceled. This is not a good communication with your customers. If I knew my tour was cancelled, I would book another one earlier. I will make sure not to recommend any of your tours to all the people that I know who planning to visit Ireland in the future. Basically, my day was ruined because of you!
Excellent
Brian was very helpful, informative and very pro-active in initiating friendly conversations with everyone
Beautiful views
Great trip! Gorgeous only negative was the driver kept rushing us. Less stops with longer times would be better
Best guide this vacation!
Our driver/guide today, Michael, could not have been more entertaining. From keeping us well informed about the sites we were to see, to making sure everyone was comfortable in the bus, to telling us tales and stories about Ireland and the culture, I came away with the impression this man has the gift of the blarney. He had us laughing, everyone!
