This full-day tour from Dublin runs entirely in Italian, with expert guides who share not just the stunning landscapes but the stories, legends, and culture of Ireland in your own language. You’ll travel through the dramatic Burren region to the Cliffs of Moher, then on to Galway City, taking in some of the country’s most striking scenery along the way.
The tour operates in all weather - Ireland’s west coast is worth it whatever the sky is doing, so dress in layers and come prepared.
As you drive through Kinvara on the Burren road, keep an eye out for Dunguaire Castle on its stone promontory into the bay - a 16th-century tower house in red stone that catches the light like nothing else in this part of Galway. If your guide offers even a brief stop, the pier walk takes ten minutes and is worth every one of them.
When you’re in Galway, the Spanish Arch end of the quays is the right place to stretch your legs before the cliffs. The itinerary gives you about 90 minutes in the city - enough for the Latin Quarter and a coffee, but not much more. The Gourmet Tart Company does counter seating and fast coffee if you need the fuel. If the session bug catches you and you want to return, Tigh Coili on Mainguard Street runs trad most nights from 9:30pm - Irish language pub, high-standard players, not for show.
The route from Kinvara south through the Burren passes Ballyvaughan, a small pier village where the limestone starts its climb toward the interior. Monk’s Pub sits right at the harbour - known for seafood chowder made with the day’s catch. The road out of Ballyvaughan climbs Corkscrew Hill, a sequence of hairpin bends built in the 1840s as famine-relief work, with a view across Galway Bay that lands differently when you know how it was made.
The cliffs themselves are at Liscannor end to the south. The Hag’s Head path starts from the coast road above Liscannor - open headland, no railings, no admission - and runs north to the visitor centre. Most coaches approach from the visitor centre car park. Your guide will navigate the logistics, but if you have any time near the Liscannor end of the walk, the pier village below is where John Philip Holland was born in 1841, the man who designed the first submarine commissioned by the US Navy.
The Cliffs of Moher walk is exposed Atlantic headland, whatever the season. Wind and mist are likely; layers and a waterproof jacket will make the difference between the walk being memorable in the right way and memorable in the wrong one.
If you have an extra day on either side of this tour, the Kinvara area is worth returning to at your own pace. The Cruinniú na mBád - the Gathering of the Boats - brings Galway’s famous black-sailed hookers home to Kinvara harbour every August, and the trad session at Winkle’s pub is the kind of music that isn’t performed so much as played.
