What travellers saidabout this tour
My wife and I had such an amazing tour with Wild Rover Tours and our tour guide Murphy! The meeting point was easy to find and we got to explore several different places throughout the day including the Cliffs of Moher, the town of Ennis, and Limerick. Murphy was exceptionally funny and provided us with lots of great facts about Ireland. The bus was very clean, comfortable, and we had ample time to explore each location. If you’re in Ireland and want to maximize your time, this is the tour to book.

This tour sets off from the banks of the River Liffey in Dublin city and sets course across the vibrant midlands of Ireland. Arriving on the west coast at our first stop, the Cliffs of Moher. Today the cliffs stretch for 8 dramatic kilometres, rising to 214 metres at their highest point near O'Brien's Tower. You'll have a chance to wonder in awe among the local wildlife as you take in the spectacular landscape which will stay with you for years to come. An unforgettable experience to keep with you forever. We depart from the cliffs and travel over the rolling hills and corkscrew roads before we arrive into the capital of Clare, Ennis. Situated on the banks of the River Fergus, Ennis is a quaint town steeped in history. Here you can explore the narrow cobbled streets and lanes, becoming absorbed in the charming nature of the town. Or even visit the stunning friary ruin. Gaze at the delicate stained glass windows and beautiful architecture before departing for our last stop. Our final stop on this adventure is Limerick city, which straddles the magnificent River Shannon. Here you will explore King John's Castle, Limerick's most iconic landmark. A fortress that has witnessed sieges, rebellion and centuries of change. Explore the towers and chambers of this medieval stronghold, along with other landmarks, before settling down to enjoy some traditional Irish food with a well-deserved pint before we get on the road back to Dublin.
