Full description

Discover the history and landscapes of Ireland on a day trip from Galway with a local driver and guide. Marvel at centuries-old buildings and striking natural features before taking in one of the best views the country has to offer from the Cliffs of Moher. Stop for plenty of photo opportunities.

Meet your trained driver and guide outside the Kinlay Hostel. Climb aboard the bus to head to your first stop, Dunguaire Castle on the outskirts of Kinvara. Looking at the 16th-century medieval tower house castle, discover why it is one of the most photographed castles in the whole of Ireland.

Then, drive through the unique glaciokarst landscape of the Burren and past the 12th-century Corcomroe Abbey, a Cistercian monastery noted for its distinguished carvings and rich ornamentation. Then, follow the Wild Atlantic Way as it wends its way along the coast of County Clare.

Pass Black Head and Fanore Strand, Discovery Points on the Wild Atlantic Way, from where you can marvel at views of the three Aran Islands, Inishmore (Inis Mor), Inishmann (Inis Meain), and Inisheer (Inis Oirr), locking in Galway Bay, and in the distance the Connemara mountains.

Next, stop for photos at Doolin pier. Feel the Atlantic wind in your face and admire the power of the sea as it crashes onto the shore. After you've worked up an appetite on the beach, tuck into lunch at the Doolin Hotel (not included). Try any of the local seafood dishes. You won't be disappointed.

Then, head to your main stop of the day, the Cliffs of Moher. Enjoy 2 hours at this signature point along the Wild Atlantic Way. Admire one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Rising 214 meters out of the Atlantic Ocean, the Cliffs of Moher offer one of the most amazing views in Ireland.

After the Cliffs of Moher, return to Galway via Lisdoonvarna, famous for its annual matchmaking festival.

Alan was a great tour guide! He made the trip very enjoyable. I really enjoyed his knowledge of the history of the towns, landscape, and events that occur in each location. What I appreciated the most was how his advice for each location was spot on. He gave suggestions and helpful hints that really enhanced the experience. Wonderful tour, talented guide, and an all around great day!

Alan was a great guide, the only reason for the 4 stars was because there were no USB ports in the bus. My phone died and I wasn't able to get all the pictures I wanted, ( which is my fault) but all the other tour busses I had been on for tours had USB ports. Other than that it would have been 5 stars! Alan was great, funny and very knowledgeable
