Galway

Day 4 in Ireland consisted of a full day tour to the west side of Ireland! I booked this tour through Dublin Tour Company and couldn’t be happier about it! I’m usually not a fan of tours and prefer to plan everything myself. However since we were a group of 8 and in Ireland they drive on the left side – I thought it would be best to just go with a tour company. We boarded the bus at 6:50am in Dublin and left for the west coast.

Our first stop was the city of Galway. We met our local guide, Donal, for a walking tour of Galway. The tour began in the Latin Quarter of Galway, then we walked to the Claddagh gold shops. Our guide mentioned that apparently Kimye was in town a week ago for their honeymoon in Galway and Kanye bought a 40K Claddagh ring for her – he showed us the shop if anyone was interested in buing a replica. We passed and just bought one from the market for 25 euros. The walking tour lasted for about an hour.

Lunch in Doolin

After Galway we got back on the charter and headed to the small town of Doolin for lunch. We had delicious Fish’n’Chips and Chowder at O’Connor’s.

After lunch the charter headed straight for Cliffs of Moher. At the cliffs we had two hours to explore. The entire experience was breathtaking. I gave my mom a heart attack with all the times I went close to the edge to take pictures. At some point she just started yelling at me. We encountered a minor rain storm while at the cliffs but once that passed the sun was shining and it was very majestic. Pictures don’t do justice for how beautiful the Cliffs of Moher are!

Dunguaire Castle

Views of The Barren

On the drive back to Dublin our driver stopped by Dunguaire Castle for a photo opportunity. Our driver was absolutely hilarious and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour with Dublin Tour Company for anyone who is in Dublin and wants to take a day trip to Cliffs of Moher! For the price it is very convenient and you get to see all the highlights of the west coast!
