Itinerary

Day 1: Dublin-Limerick-The Cliffs of Moher-Galway

Stop At: Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, Bunratty Ireland
We visit Bunratty Castle and admission is included. The castle was completed in 1425 and, after many years of neglect, has been restored to its former glory. There is also a folk park here and some of the buildings in the village were dismantled at various locations in the region and rebuilt brick by brick at their present location. Even the 18th century church was relocated to its present position using this method!

Stop At: Cliffs of Moher, Lislorkan North Latitude: 52.9714578 Longitude: -9.4247540, Liscannor Ireland

We take the coast road for much of the way to Galway, with time for photos along The Burren. This is a national park and the word Burren comes from the Irish Language –it means ‘rocky place’.

I really enjoy this tour, traveling by train and coach during both days was very nice, the time was very well organized and the tour guides very knowledgeable and pleasant. Cliffs of Moher, Galway Bay and Connemara really worth visiting, amazing places.

This was a wonderful two-day tour with charming, knowledgeable, personable guides! We also went on a Paddywagon Tour later In our trip and we'd recommend this company over theirs. We felt like this tour took us to great spots, gave us enough time to explore, and weren't focused on just the touristy stops. Great tour!
