About this activity
Leave Galway and head southwest on board your luxury coach in the direction of the world-famous Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. Traveling along scenic coastal roads, your tour stops to visit cute fishing villages and historic sites as you go. First stop is in Kinvara, a pretty fishing village known for its star attraction – Dunguaire Castle. Stroll around it outside with your guide and hear tales of its impressive history that dates back to the 16th century.
Continue your journey through Burren National Park – or simply ‘the Burren’ – and marvel at its utterly intriguing landscape, with rolling hills covered with limestone rocks. The park is home to numerous ancient monuments like the Poulnabrone Dolmen, which is said to be the most photographed Megalithic monument in the country, and the little-known Ballyalban Fairy Fort.
Just outside the town of Kilfenora, stop and hop off your coach to see some Celtic crosses, and learn about their history and symbolism from your guide. The tiny coastal village of Doolin is nearby, and lunch takes place here, in one of the town’s legendary pubs -- Gus O'Connors -- that's famous for its traditional Irish music and great food.
Your afternoon is spent at the stunning Cliffs of Moher, and it’s sure to be the highlight of your day. With approximately two hours to spend here at your leisure, walk around enjoying unforgettable views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Aran Islands. Featured in classic movies like The Princess Bride and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the cliffs are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and perfect for a bracing walk with unforgettable scenery.
Return to Galway via the coastal roads, enjoying one last break for a walk on the Burren.

Gary was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about everything. He kept us interested and gave us so much great history. I would recommend him to any who are interested in this tour.
Paul was amazing !!! hilarious guide and very informative as well.Could not have asked for more really. Well worth the money!! Price includes the cliffs entry feee. I thought it was just enough time.... you have to move quickly tho.... so don't spend TOO much time in one place at the cliffs
The trip was well worth the time. We stopped along the way to see many places of historical significance, and of course the Cliffs had breathtaking views. Our driver Ken, also the guide explained the history of Ireland in detail ahead of the stops. Overall the tour was relaxing and enjoyable.
Very nice tour, our guide and driver Dave was excellent, very funny and informative, the countryside is beautiful and there is plenty to see, we had luck with the weather, it was sunny, I recommend taking this tour if you are in the neighbourhood
I Believe that our driver name is Ken, older gentleman, gray hair, the best tour driver ever, he lived in London for few years, the most professional and kind. This is my favorite tour from our visit in Ireland , we stopped in a small town for lunch, the food was amazing, restaurant name is O’Connors best fish and chips ! Great and fast service, highly recommend this tour.
This was a very nice tour, a lot of interesting things to see and learn. The cliffs are amazing. Our tour guide was super funny and gave us a lot of smart info about the places we seen.
Our tour guide was the perfect kind of funny, an exceptional driver and a personable individual. We had the right amount of time for each stop! Thank you again for a great experience.
My husband and I took this tour in January. Not the warmest time of year but if you’re prepared, you’ll be fine. Plus, the beauty of the countryside overshadows the weather. Our guide, Will was informative. The stops along the way were fantastic! Definitely pop into the chocolate shop next to Gus O’Connor’s Pub (where we had lunch) in Doolin. Delicious!!!
Well thought out and planned tour. Our tour guide, Gary, was very knowledgable, charismatic, and fun! The pub we stopped at for lunch in Doolin had great food and drinks and great service. Would recommend.
Great trip, but what made it best was our driver Tom, very informative and the trip was toms way versus following the other bus cattle line to the sites. If possible, ask for him, you won't regret it.We had great weather which of course makes all the sites that much more enjoyable to see.Bus pickup from the hotels was a plus as well.
It was beautiful and the trip to the cliffs of moher was entertaining and Mike our driver was funny and had a lot of stories. The only thing that could be improved would be where we had lunch. It was a packed small restaurant and we had a short time to eat and felt so rushed..food was good though. Would definitely book again.
We had a great time. Great way to see the West Coast of Ireland if you have a short trip!
Great bus driver, Damien,extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a foggy day at the cliffs but had a great time nonetheless
