Description

Daily Tours from Dublin City

Your journey begins in the heart of Dublin with departures from St. Stephen’s Green and a convenient collection point at the Red Cow Interchange. From there, sit back and relax as we travel west along the M7 through the beautiful Irish countryside towards County Clare.

Visit Bunratty Castle & Folk Park

Our first stop is the world-famous Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, one of Ireland’s most treasured heritage attractions.

Built in 1425, Bunratty Castle is the most complete and authentic medieval fortress in Ireland. Standing proudly on the banks of the Ratty River, the castle has witnessed centuries of Irish history, from Norman invasions to powerful Gaelic clans and noble families who once ruled the region.

Inside the castle, visitors can explore beautifully restored rooms filled with period furnishings, tapestries and artwork, offering a fascinating glimpse into life in medieval Ireland.

Surrounding the castle is Bunratty Folk Park, a unique open-air museum that recreates rural Irish life during the 19th century. Wander through traditional cottages, village streets, schools, shops, farms and homes as costumed characters bring Ireland’s past to life. It is a truly immersive experience that allows visitors to step back in time and discover how generations of Irish families lived and worked.

Whether you are interested in history, architecture, culture or simply capturing memorable photographs, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park offers an experience unlike anywhere else in Ireland.

See the Cliffs of Moher

From Bunratty we continue our journey through County Clare to one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Europe – the Cliffs of Moher.

Rising dramatically over 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean and stretching for approximately 14 kilometres along Ireland’s rugged west coast, the Cliffs of Moher are among the country’s most recognisable landmarks.

The views are simply breath-taking. On a clear day visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas across Galway Bay, the Aran Islands and the mountains of Connemara. The cliffs are also home to one of Ireland’s most important seabird colonies, making them a paradise for photographers, nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The sheer scale and beauty of the cliffs have captivated visitors for generations and have featured in numerous films and television productions. Standing at the edge of the Wild Atlantic Way, it is easy to understand why the Cliffs of Moher are consistently ranked among the world’s must-see destinations.

A spectacular Day Tour from Dublin to the edge of Europe

After visiting the Cliffs of Moher, our journey continues through the extraordinary landscape of the Burren.

Unlike anywhere else in Ireland, the Burren is a unique limestone region shaped over millions of years. Its dramatic terrain, ancient stone walls and rare flora create a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. Rich in archaeology and folklore, the Burren contains ancient tombs, ring forts and traces of Ireland’s earliest settlers.
