Railtours Ireland First Class · Dublin Heuston station
A hosted three-day trip from Dublin Heuston by train and coach: Blarney and Cobh, the Ring of Kerry, then the Cliffs of Moher and Bunratty on the way home, with two B&B nights in Killarney. Pick it if you want the rail operator's style without a 15-hour day.
Same operator, same 6:40 AM check-in at Heuston, but spread over three days. Day one goes south by train for three hours at Blarney Castle and Gardens and two in Cobh, then to a B&B in Killarney. Day two is the Ring of Kerry by coach, about seven hours. Day three crosses into Clare for an hour at the Cliffs of Moher and 1 hour 30 at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, with the Burren on the way.
Two nights in a Killarney B&B with full Irish breakfast are included, as are Blarney, Bunratty and the Cliffs of Moher admissions. Other meals are not. The operator notes that en-suites may sit inside or outside the room and that you should state double or twin when booking a shared room.
Read the terms. Free cancellation runs only up to 6 days before, not 24 hours, and confirmation can take up to 48 hours: Railtours Ireland calls overnight tours provisional until every element is booked (Railtours FAQ). One guest noted the train is mostly at the start and the end, with coaches and minivans in between.

The tour ends back at Heuston.
★★★★★We rode the train more than I first expected. I actually enjoy train travel. It is a nice ride and the coach cars have tables between the seats. The Railtours guide was extremely well organized and knowledgeable. Everything went like clockwork.
★★★★★The Ring of Kerry and Cliffs of Moher were spectacular! Our tour guide was thorough and knew a lot of folk lore which was quite interesting.
