Itinerary
Make an early start and depart from central Dublin for your full-day tour of Ireland’s western wonders. Soak up the scenery on the drive to the west coast, then wind along the dramatic coast of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Jump out to snap photos of the striking Dunguaire Castle, a 16th-century tower perched on the seafront just north of Kinvara, then continue to Doolin. Enjoy free time to explore the quaint fishing village and tuck into some lunch (own expense)—perhaps try the famous seafood chowder at Gus O'Conner's or a pint of Guinness at Fitzgerald’s pub.
With your appetite sated, continue to The Burren and explore the otherworldly karst landscape, renowned for its exotic plants and colorful orchids. Finally, head for the day’s star attraction, the Cliffs of Moher, and enjoy ample time to walk along the 702-foot (214-meter) tall cliffs and gaze out over the rugged Atlantic coast. Admire jaw-dropping views of the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, then learn more about the geological wonder at the Atlantic Edge Exhibition and Visitor Centre.
After a full day on the west coast, journey back to Dublin and end your tour in the city center.

It was very easy to make reservations on line. Great communicat-
ion from Viator. Cliff of Moher is a beautiful landmark, do not miss. Best of all PaddyWagon tour guide, Michael was exceptional! He was knowledgeable, funny and kept us strategically engaged. Highly recommend requesting tour guide Michaell. It was a long and
exhausting day but worth the effort.

Driver and tour guide Dave was great!!! He made the trip there and back very enjoyable!!! Highly recommend this tour!
Sang_P, Aug 2026
Very good tour guide and easy trip out to the cliffs of moher and back. Bus was comfortable and stops for stretching your legs.
Ethan_O, Jul 2026
Karl was great, and the trip itself has the most bangin restaurant half way through. Moher was definitely beautiful, and the accomodating spots definitely made it all the more fun.
Norm_M, Jul 2026
I'm sorry I can't rate this outing better but I felt it did not live up to the standards that the other tours I have taken with Viator have.
The bus driver was a very skilled driver, however, I don't think that he alone should have been responsible for the information and interaction of the trip. I did not really learn much about the area we travelled and the tour did not have the upbeat response from the other travelers. No interaction, nothing.
Kenny_C, Jul 2026
Our guide was super nice, he shared information I wouldn't have known any other way. He even waited for some stragglers . Moher was amazing. It was raining but we were able to see the cliffs for a few minutes before the fog covered them back up
Sara_N, Jul 2026
Great tour guide/driver! Lots of entertaining stories, great driving and all in all just a great person. Beautiful views of the countryside and plenty of stops for toilet/snack/shopping breaks. Cliffs of Moher were spectacular. The bus was comfortable also. Would recommend!
Tara_C, Jul 2026
Great trip, breathtaking scenery! Gerry was an excellent guide, with just the right amount of commentary and great irish tunes in between.
HoChing_F, Jul 2026
The driver/guide was knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humor! The food at The Frantic Chef was wonderful (especially the seafood chowder). I only knocked one star down because the schedule was unclear. We didn’t know when we were having lunch at the Frantic Chef. Had we known we would’ve saved our appetite for it. Recommend bringing your own snacks to munch on along the way.
Kelly_D, Jul 2026
Our bus driver was very knowledgeable and had a great personality and sense of humour. He was also a very skilled driver as we had to pass another tour bus coming 5he other way and there was very little room between us and the other bus. Well done! We enjoyed the tour and would use this tour company again.
Mel_M, Jul 2026
It was smooth, easy, and the destinations were lovely. Guide was funny, friendly and easy to talk to.
Carolyne_G, Jul 2026
This tour was an excellent way to see and learn about Ireland’s history and beauty. Thomas was a very knowledgeable guide/driver. Lots of stops along the way. Great value!
Richard_K, Jul 2026
It was a long day over 11 hours but it was well worth the time. We traveled 600 km and saw many many sights.
Matt_L, Jun 2026
Tour guide Skipped part of the tour- no reason given. Tour guide seemed cranky. Must have had an off day
Tom_B, Jun 2026
Our Driver Sean was great very nice well versed in the history of Ireland. We had a wonderful trip out to the Cliffs of Moher and back. The only thing I didn't care for is only one location to eat at when we stopped for lunch.
Ellie_C, Jun 2026
The tour was very nice. We were expecting a guide but only had a driver. It was still good! Liam was great, he drove us all day and still had energy to talk and tell some stories. James and I enjoyed the experience!
Laima_S, May 2026
Informative, wonderful country site.good bus drive enjoyable stops, little towns, castle ruins, sea breeze
Bri_W, May 2026
John C took great care of us. We felt safe the whole way, he kept things organized and on-track, and he was an excellent guide.
John_M, May 2026
Tour itself was great with some incredible sites to explore. However with children on board and an incredibly noisy family it was next to impossible to hear what the driver was saying which takes away from the enjoyment.

Good Morning,
I booked this tour through Viator before I arrived in Ireland. At the time of the tour I was suffering with food poisoning but decided to go anyway. I am a 70 year old woman and I travel alone quite a bit. This was not a good experience.
My tour guide was Dominic. After we all initially boarded the bus there were some young ladies that arrived late. Dominic promptly told us that we would have to sing a song if we were late boarding the bus during the tour. We all chuckled, he did a head count, and then we departed for the day.
At the very first stop we all disembarked. I, of course, ran to the restroom. Mind you, I had needed to throw up badly but found that deep breathing stopped it. I surely did not want to do that on the bus. I used the restroom twice. As I came out the second time, the bus was pulling away. Head count I asked myself? I ran to catch up to the bus. Some people I befriended saw me and asked him to stop. He opened the door and I explained to him how ill I was feeling and apologized. As I moved to take my seat he grabbed me by the arm and said that I must sing a song or I could not board. Feeling as awful as I did, he suggested I sing Happy Birthday. The absolute intimidation and humiliation I felt was palpable. I was then allowed to take my seat, feeling like a reprimanded 5 year old.
During the rest of the course of the day people were late INCLUDING him and not one person was asked to sing anything, although he continued to regale us with all of his singing.
I am appalled at the fact that he is allowed to put his hands on anyone else for any reason. Feeling sick was awful enough. But for him to humiliate me in front of a busload of passengers was terrible.
I respectfully request my money back and a disciplinary action be taken against Dominic. If this is all that sets him off, I can't imagine what else he may be capable of.

We had a wonderful adventure with Shea to the Cliff Of Mohor!! Every detail we could have hoped for was excellent!! Thank you!
Deepak_P, May 2026
Although Doolin and other places were mentioned but the operator paddywagon didn’t visit these places and on asking the driver said Viator is misguiding tourists . I want refund
Angela_V, May 2026
Not enough time at the cliffs-only 1.5 hours. Air on the bus was not working making the trip back to Dublin ridiculous.
Sarah_P, May 2026
Cliffs of Moher were wonderful to see! Pacing of the trip was very nice. Meet up time and location was good too.
Timothy_F, Apr 2026
It was a long day, but well worth it. The Cliffs were magnificent and one of the most beautiful sights I have ever had the privilege of seeing.
Regina_D, Apr 2026
It was a fun trip and Gerry with a "G" was great. For us, there was enough time at each stop, but we were on a schedule to get us back on time.
Carmine_C, Apr 2026
The experience was fantastic, never find another place like this. Gerry our tour guide was great, very good driver. The sights were fantastic
Harri_V, Apr 2026
Cliffs of Moher and atlantic coast road are awesome. Stops are quite Short but the trip is worth it. TaKe a raincoat rather than umbrella with you since the rain might catch you horizontally…
Pamela_G, Apr 2026
It was interesting and fun. Thomas was wonderful and informative. The destinations were beautiful. Will book again.
Olivia_E, Apr 2026
Wonderful and efficient way to tour west coast of Ireland and rhe countryside. Tour guide was humorous and knowledgeable. Bus was very comfortable. Highly recommend rather than driving oneself on the narrow Irish roads.
Christy_C, Apr 2026
After a bit of a difficult start as the driver was delayed due to traffic and we had to make up time, we had a fun day exploring Ireland. The driver Brian was so knowledgeable about each of our stops and telling us about Ireland. He was even witty with a dry sense of humor.
