See the Cliffs of Moher, Burren, Wild Atlantic Way, and Galway on a long but rewarding $89 day trip from Dublin.

“I could not recommend this day trip more! Our tour guide, Chris was very knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Our driver, Jordan was also an amazing driver navigating us through our stops. I was initially nervous going on the trip as I usually get car sick but I didn’t feel a thing! Bus was very clean and air conditioned. The time spent at each spot was perfect and allowed for shopping, eating, pictures, etc. I am so happy we went with this trip!”

“The hop on and hop off bus tour was a great way to experience Dublin! We decided to do this tour when we first arrived in Dublin as an introduction to the city, and it was the best decision ever. The tour highlighted all of the important sites in Dublin which allowed us to make informed decisions about what we wanted to experience in greater depth later. We had the 48-hour pass so we were able to hop on and off numerous times!”

“I really got a sense of the history of Cork and its Centre City. Noel, our guide, was lovely. Patient, kind and knowledgeable. His passion for his community, city and country shown through. He added some personal touches to the tour that were particularly special. Mt favorite was the mural of Frederick Douglass. I did not know that he had been invited by the city of Cork to speak there. Viewing his mural so many miles away from my home in the US and the day after Dr. King’s holiday was especially poignant. Highly recommend.”
