4.The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,948 reviews · 30 minutes to 1 hour (approx.) · from $21

A funny, fast-guided tour of the Little Museum of Dublin, packed with Irish stories, quirky artifacts, and top local guides. Prebooked.

“My husband and I chose to visit on a whim without reading anything about the museum, so we had no idea what to expect but nothing could have prepared us for this experience. It was nothing short of fantastic! This museum is unlike any I have ever visited in my life. It is an extensive collection of fascinating items and objects in a surprisingly small but appropriate space. There is so much to take in and you could spend hours just looking at all the items. Your visit to the museum luckily is guided by an incredibly talented storyteller. Our guide Emma was hilarious and gave not just a tour,…”

Our tour guide (so sorry his name has slipped me) he spoke so clearly and informatively. He made our tiur so interesting and enjoyable. Would recommend warm clothing especially warm head covering if sitting on the top deck. Enjoy a trip full of wonderful memories. Also if planning to go to Guinness Brewery would really need to book on line well before your trip. Enjoy, as much as we did. 😍”

11.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.”
