    Excellent 2 day tour to West Ireland

    We booked the 2 day tour to Galway (over night stay) and Cliffs of Moher from July 28 - 29, 2026. We had a fabulous time on both days and we are glad to have chosen the 2 day tour rather than the day tour. The hotel accommodation was clean and comfortable. The admission fee to the Cliffs was included in the price of the tour. The crowds were not overwhelming. Initially I was hesitant to book the PaddyWagon tours when I saw how many people it takes but the bus wasn’t full and it was a comfortable ride. The other people on our tours were so friendly - it was a great atmosphere. We especially loved that we got to experience Galway on our own and went to a local pub and met friendly locals. Dinner at Hooked which was incredible and worth the 1 hour wait (we waited at the nearby pub - Cooke’s Thatch Bar - shout out to Peter a friendly local). Danny and Keith were both excellent tour guides. Both tour guides were funny and easy going. I especially love how Danny gave us a detailed history of Ireland specifically on the famine as we drove towards the Cliffs of Moher and the famine walls. He is an amazing story teller. Keith and Danny both did a fantastic job checking in on everyone and making sure guests were accounted for and comfortable. They were clear with giving directions on how long breaks were and what time to be back to remain on schedule. They both had a great sense of humour and appreciate the jokes and story telling throughout the rides. We appreciate them both and would be happy to have either of them as our next tour guide when we take our 2 day trip to Northern Ireland on July 1 - 2, 2026. I have celiac disease and I was happy to see that the hotel breakfast and lunch stops accommodate gluten free guests. I especially loved the cabbage salad at lunch after the Cliffs of Moher /thank you to the chef for sharing the recipe! Overall, we are happy with the tour and will recommend to PaddyWagon Tours to our friends and family going to visit Ireland.

    Loved Alex ✌️

    Alex was a great tour guide. Funny, and casual. Talked to us like friends instead of as an audience, which I liked. Good trip down to Cork and back.

    Awful pick up location directions and customer service

    Awful experience. Note to fellow travelers. Your bus may be unmarked and arrive at a different location than the one provided in your instructions. There may be other excursions and guests leaving from the same spot. There will be no Paddywagon signs, and your driving may be inside the bus. Have a way to be contacted, as your driver will leave without you if you are not able to be reached.

    A highlight of our trip!

    Took the PaddyWagon to Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty castle, etc. Our guide and driver was Gerry and he was so entertaining with his knowledge, fun stories, sense of humor and all around super nice human!

    Paddywagon 2 Day experience

    The meeting point was central and a rep from Paddywagon was there waiting for us and directed us to the bus. Cullen was a great driver on his big clean bus. We had some temperature issues in the bus and he addressed them. The rest of the ride was comfortable. The hotel in Galway was nice but a bit out of the center of town. We had to take a taxi to dinner and back. Breakfast at the hotel was a nice plentiful buffet. Gordon picked us up and toured to the Cliffs with us. His passion for Ireland was evident as he drove us around and explained everything in a clear humorous way. After lunch we had to change busses since we were going back to Dublin. We had an hour unnecessary layover at the restaurant waiting for our next bus. Michael came and took us into his bus from the restaurant for the test of the tour back to Dublin. Mike was excellent too.

    2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher cost?

    +

    Prices start at $228 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day Western Ireland Tour from Dublin:Including Galway and Cliffs of Moher start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dublin?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dublin?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dublin?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
