What you will see on this Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Galway Tour
0630 Start boarding outside Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.
0645 We leave Parnell Square North and head to the west of Ireland. We are taking you from the east to the west of Ireland in one day, showing you as much as possible. Our well-trained guides will tell you about Irish legends, myths and history along the way, helping you understand and appreciate why Ireland looks and functions the way it does. This is a smooth, leisurely tour of the Irish countryside on our way to the Cliffs of Moher.
Barack Obama Plaza Service Station (rest stop)
First stop of the morning is the quaint Barack Obama Plaza visitor centre, a brief 15-minute stop near Moneygall, offering a unique touch of Irish-American history. Here you will get a chance to stock up on the last few items needed for the day or just grab a quick coffee to keep you going!
Travel Along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way
Then we continue our scenic drive through the Irish countryside passing through the charming towns of Ennistymon and Lahinch.
Cliffs Of Moher Tour (Around 2 hours)
Our main attraction and the highlight of the day is up next. Among Ireland’s most beloved attractions, the Cliffs of Moher rise majestically along the untamed West Clare coastline. Stroll along the secure, well-paved paths and behold these renowned cliffs at the edge of Europe. Revel in the breathtaking panoramas stretching across the vast Atlantic Ocean, gracing you with views of the Aran Islands.
Exclusive access to the Cliffs of Moher Visitor experience is INCLUDED in the tour. With a minimum of 2 hours to enjoy you will be left with a lifetime desire to return to this place.
Visiting the Burren (Around 15 minutes)
Next we visit the enchanting Burren, a 15-minute pause. This ancient limestone plateau, spanning over 250 square kilometers, offers a surreal environment that’s often likened to a lunar or otherworldly landscape.
What makes the Burren truly special is its rich biodiversity and the presence of rare and delicate flora. Despite its seemingly barren appearance, the cracks and crevices of the limestone pavement conceal a hidden world of plant life. Here, you’ll find an astonishing array of wildflowers, including vibrant orchids, rare alpines, and unique ferns, many of which are not found elsewhere in Ireland.
Travel along the Wild Atlantic Way to Galway
Leaving the Burren we pass by parts of the Wild Atlantic Way , Kinvara and Dunguaire Castle. While we are not stopping, you’ll still appreciate the scenic beauty on offer.

Join our experienced guide on a short walking tour of the city to orientate yourself, or feel free to start exploring on your own.This city, known for its lively atmosphere and rich artistic heritage, promises an unforgettable end to your day of exploration.

“Great tour with excellent guide and driver”
This is my best tour on getyourguide so far. Derrick and Vlad were the dream team and I could have not asked for more. The weather was amazing and we were able to see the Cliffs of Moher clearly. We also learnt a lot about Irish history from Derrick who is a true entertainer. Highly recommended! Keep up the good work.

Peter and Lecek were our guide and driver for the day.
They both make it fun and enjoyable.
Peter was very firm of timing which is awesome so we were on schedule each time. We learned a lot about Ireland: from history, places, etc.
Cliff of Moher is beyond pretty and they give us time to wonder around.
Definitely will recommend this tour.

A must see and do!
So happy we chose this tour. The staff were fabulous and offered so much history and information. We were fortunate it was a clear calm day and could see for miles. Stopped at monastery ruins on the way from Dublin to the Cliffs. Such a treat to see the healthiest cows on the planet tucked into the grounds around the monastery. Just loved every minute of it. The bus driver took us from the Cliffs along Wild Atlantic Way for more stunning scenery with stops at The Burren and a busy Galway before returning to Dublin. Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for making our brief trip to Ireland such a joy!

Had an amazing time on this day trip with tour guide Kevin & bus driver John! Both were very knowledgable on the history of Ireland & answered all questions on the tour by other guests. They made the time on the bus an educational experience with a good mix of talking, playing Irish music, and allowing for questions. Kevin & John both did their best to give us the maximum time possible at each location. We even lucked out and got extra time at the Cliff’s & Galway! These sights are a must do & they are a must do with Kevin & John. My friend and I wished we had more time in Ireland to do another bus tour operated by Finn McCool.
