Dublin day trip to Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, The Burren and Galway, with guided stories, included Cliffs entry, and pub stop.
“Had a great time, wish there was more time at hike at the cliffs of moher but we did a lot in the day. Johnathan (driver 7) was the funniest guide and truly made the experience. Loved the history and how funny he was. Had a great time!!”
Half-day coach trip from Dublin to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains with a local guide, lakeside ruins, wildlife, and time to walk.
“Really enjoyed our trip, our driver was brilliant giving us lots of facts and jokes and even walked us all to the map and told us how long each route would take so we knew when to head back in enough time. Glendalough is beautiful and so peaceful, definitely worth a few hours out of the city to visit!”
Guided Galway day trip to The Burren and Cliffs of Moher with karst sights, dolmens, and 90 minutes at the Atlantic viewpoints.
“It was fabulous! Our driver, Gary, was phenomenal. So much knowledge of history of the area. He kept us enthralled the entire time. The only thing I would change is the 45 minute time slot for lunch. We would have preferred an hour and shave off 15 minutes from the Cliffs part of the tour…75 minutes is sufficient. The pub where we ate was wonderful and we would have liked to enjoy it more. We felt rushed, to the point of not finishing our meal or drink.”
Guided Ring of Kerry day trip from Cork with Killorglin, Dingle Bay views, Waterville, Killarney National Park, and time to roam.
“Loved every stop around the ring of Kerry such beautiful country and Coastlines. I would highly recommend this trip!”
Connemara day trip from Galway with hotel pick-up, stops in Leenane and Killary Fjord, plus included entry to Kylemore Abbey and its gardens.
“This was a great day trip! We had plenty of time at Kylemore Abbey and got to see some amazing sights on the way there and back. Our guide, Michael, was great. We learned a lot about the places we were seeing.”
Galway day trip to Inisheer by ferry and the Cliffs of Moher by cruise and walk, with Burren stops. $85, 10 hours.
“Had an amazing day on this trip. Our tour guide was Phill and he was great. Top guy. And great crack. All the stops was amazing great views. Cliffs was great got to see from the boat and on land. And loads more stops on bus to take great pictures. Definitely worth the money. Thanks phill 😃”
12-hour guided day trip from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty Castle, and Ennis, with tickets and bilingual commentary.
“This trip was absolutely amazing! The tour guide was great, shared lots of cool facts during the drive to keep you entertained. The drive was very good, I suggest sitting on the left side of the bus as you’ll be able to see the ocean during the drive. Highly suggest!”
9-hour guided Connemara day trip from Galway, with Clifden, Screeb waterfall, and Diamond Hill or Kylemore Abbey gardens.
“Such a great tour… scenery was incredible and Gerry the guide was the nicest, friendliest and most entertaining/informative host. Thankyou for making us feel very welcome. We learnt a lot and fell in love with Connemara.”
Small-group day from Galway combining Cliffs of Moher sea views and Inis Oirr island time, plus Connemara and Burren scenery.
“This was a great tour and experience. Was great to get to see the cliffs from the sea! Our guide Shawn was great. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight into the country and this area. There are lots of options for tours and I’m so glad we went with the one going to rhe Aran Islands. YOU MUST go the horse drawn carriage ride on Ishineer island. They are given by locals who love on the island and the experience of learning from the locals is so important! Highly recommend for couples, families or even solo travelers.”
A half-day independent Cliffs of Moher trip from Galway with a comfortable air-conditioned shuttle, 2 hours on the cliffs, and optional audio.
“The bus ride was a bit warm and went up some skinny roads but we had an excellent and skilled driver. The Cliffs were breathtaking from every angle!!”
Bike Inisheer from Doolin with a local guide, round-trip ferry, and reserved tea and scones on a 5-hour day trip.
“Highly recommend this tour! Sofia was our guide and she was very friendly & knowledgeable about the island. All of the sites she brought us to were super interesting. The scones at the end were actually really great (I don’t usually enjoy scones otherwise). We rode regular bikes (not e-bikes) and it was a very easy ride. Sofia also recommended a great place in doolin for lunch after the tour and it was incredible. We all had so much fun!!”
Sit back on a 6.5-hour bus tour from Killarney around the Iveragh Peninsula, with mountain-road stops at Molls Gap and Ladies’ View.
“We had a wonderful day. Our bus driver Sean was very informative as well as entertaining. The sheep dog show was well worth the entry fee. Spectacular scenery from the inn where we stopped for lunch. Great day all round thank you!!!”
A guided 7-hour loop from Killarney to the Dingle Peninsula, with Inch Beach, Slea Head views, Gaelic villages, and Dingle pub time.
“Our driver/guide Pauly was great! His knowledge of the area was excellent! The coach was really comfortable. At the end of the tour as it started to rain, Pauly told us he had a special stop for us. This was an overlook of the Killarney lake. As we walked out to the overlook the rain paused and produced a Beautiful rainbow 🌈!! This was the perfect end to an amazing tour!!”
Rossaveel to Inis Mór by ferry, return same day. Expect possible rough seas, then explore Dún Aengus and the Worm Hole.
“First visit to islands was grand! Outstanding weather greatly improved our chance to see Inishmor and the history it represents!”
Self-guided Donegal e-bike loop with turn-by-turn routes to Slieve League, Silver Strand, and Glencolmcille, plus hill-assist help.
“Out of the world experience cycling to slieve League and around Donegal coastline with e-bikes. Not at all tiring even after a 50+ km ride with such amazing bikes. The walk assist feature is incredible and helps a lot along steep hills.. Also, special thanks to Seamus for guiding us so well for the route and providing enough time and best info to have heart-fulfilling tour. PS. He is such a nice person that he came in his car to pick us up while we were lost finding his e-bike center - this tour is a MUST!!!!!”
