About this tour
Railtours Ireland First Class runs this 15-hour hosted day trip from Dublin that mixes reserved train seats with a guided coach tour of the west. It starts early: check in at Heuston Station by 6:40 am for the 7:00 am train, which doesn't wait.
From Limerick the coach takes you to Bunratty Castle, completed in 1425 and since restored, and its folk park of rebuilt village buildings, with around 90 minutes there and admission included.
Next comes about two hours of free time at the Cliffs of Moher, then the coast road through the Burren's limestone landscape with a photo stop if time allows. The day ends with around an hour in Galway for dinner or shopping, traffic permitting, before the journey back to Dublin.
