“We had an amazing experience on our tour to Inis Oírr and the Cliffs of Moher. Alan, our guide, was friendly and shared so much interesting information about the areas we visited or passed along the way. He made the day even more memorable. Before arriving at Inis Oírr, Alan shared the best options for spending time on the island. In spite of it being a busier than usual day, he helped everyone get set up so they could see Inis Oírr either by bicycle, horse and carriage, or van. We chose to take the horse and carriage tour and it was terrific. The driver took us around the island,…”

6.Cliffs of Moher and The Burren Guided Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,770 reviews · from $62

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.”
