Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Burren & Galway Day Trip

About this experience

Irish Day Tours meets at the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street at 6:50 AM and asks you to arrive 10 minutes early. The coach runs to the Cliffs of Moher for 90 minutes with admission included, then on to Fanore on the coast for 45 minutes and a 20-minute stop in the Burren, the limestone country most coach days only drive through.

The day ends with 1 hour 20 in Galway before the drive back to the statue. Lunch is at your own expense; the listing mentions a pub lunch in Doolin. The end time depends on traffic.

Families get a real saving here: children aged 5 to 12 pay a reduced fare, infants are welcome, and you can bring your own infant seat at no charge. Guests do warn that it is a lot of driving for 90 minutes at the cliffs, and one wished they had skipped Galway.

What guests say

★★★★★

We spent an hour and 15 at the Cliffs of Moher, about 20 minutes at a set of smaller cliffs, and then about an hour or so in Galway and it was wonderful! Would definitely recommend!

Make sure you bring a rain coat. Weather can change quickly. The cliffs are spectacular. Worth the trip! Our Tour Guide, Derek, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, funny, professional AND made it clear everyone need to be on time!

The affable driver was so knowledgeable the different towns and route as well as about the history of Ireland. [...] How he managed the time keeping schedule on all of our multiple stops was incredible.
