Cliffs of Moher Day Tour from Cork: Including Wild Atlantic Way

9.Cliffs of Moher Day Tour from Cork: Including Wild Atlantic Way

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 350 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $82

11-hour Cork day trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Burren, with Atlantic Edge ticket, Doolin lunch stop, Wild Atlantic Way drive, Bunratty photo stop.

“You see quite a bit of Ireland and the cliffs are spectacular yet you don't get a lot of time in each place. The tour stops in Limerick to pick drop off people going to Dingle I suggest to improve the tour to give people not going to Dingle to have 35-45 mins to look at Limerick, the Bunratty castle stop was so short we couldn't even get a ice-cream.”

Titanic Trail Guided Walking Tour Cobh

11.Titanic Trail Guided Walking Tour Cobh

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 253 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $36

Guided Titanic Trail walk in Cobh, Ireland. See Cork Harbour and St. Coleman’s Cathedral, hear Titanic and Lusitania links in 1 hour.

“Our choice of a walking tour wasn’t the best idea on the day. It rained and rained and the wind blew. We got soaked and cold. If it wasn’t for our excellent guide Dennis; who’s personable nature, Irish charm and encyclopaedic knowledge which kept us going, we’d have dropped out mid way. We finished with a walk to the cathedral and view of the bay. Highly recommend.”
