An incredible day trip from Dublin-Galway-Aran Islands
From the moment I met John my Railtours Ireland guide in the yellow jacket I was at ease. I was greeted with the most genuine excitement and he immediately made sure I was checked in and had everything I needed to make my day trip a success and as stress free as possible. On our rail trip from Dublin to Galway John made sure all my questions were answered, that I was educated and informed about not only my destinations that day but also Ireland in general! I learned so much about local travel and the many other amazing destinations Ireland has to offer. John took the time and attention to outline my day and future connections as part of my trip involved shuttles and a short plane ride from outside Galway to Inishmoore one of the Aran islands. Without his guidance and notes it certainly would have been more stressful trying to navigate on my own. John went out of his way to make sure my day was a success and I was able to see everything I wanted to and more. On my return to the train station at Galway I was greeted by John and another Railtours guide who both were there to assure myself and two other travelers coming from another trip were safe and had everything we needed to get back to Dublin easily. Again more great conversation was had and all of our Ireland travel questions were answered with ease. If you are interested in Ireland and rail travel (the best way to experience the country in my opinion) do not hesitate to book with Railtours Ireland! You will be well taken care of and they will all go above and beyond to make sure your travel is a success and memorable.

Rail tour guides save the day.
We started out on the wrong foot on our first day of the tour, we missed our tour by 5 minutes. Rail tours staff were very helpful to assist us in getting back on track by sending a member of their team to get us our tour packet to us so we can continue on with the remainder of our tours the next day. On day two of our tour we met with our tour guide Anthony O’Conner, who was very helpful in assisting us by walking us to the bus stop where we would get picked up. Anthony was very pleasantly delightful to talk to as he informed us of our tour. Our bus guide David and the driver, I fail to remember the drivers name, were very pleasant and informative on the sights and history of your tour route. To my horror, I realized I thought I lost my cell phone on one of the stops, David quickly turned the bus around to help me find it, only to find out that as I kept frantically looking I had it on me. Thanks to David’s good nature and pleasant disposition, we were able to make light of the situation. Thank you Anthony and David and driver for such a great tour day and overall experience. Rail tours have great staff and tour sights to experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Ana G, Thank you very much for your complimentary review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed our 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, and Aran Islands Tour. We are delighted that you were able to catch up to the tour and enjoy the remainder of it without any delay. We are also very glad to hear that your mobile phone wasn't lost - and your complimentary remarks about Anthony and David are very much appreciated! We hope to welcome you back on tour with us soon! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team

A Bit of a Miss so Far
The guides were great as was the accommodation at this price point. I felt slightly mislead. The operator is something like First Class Railtours. The train portion was distinctly not First Class. The legroom on the bus was unbearable for person like me who is over 6’. I could not sit facing forwards and my back was sore from sitting in a twisted position all day. Heavier people would struggle too I would guess. The tour buses drop off and pick up on the side of the road after a short walk rather than in front of the hotel which other operators seem to manage. It is not ideal when it is raining. Day 2 was a washout with no alternate program. We will see how Day 3 goes tomorrow.

A Perfect Way to See the West of Ireland
The beauty, history and variety of this tour was excellent. Our guide offered the best of Irish humor, cheerfulness and intelligence. The stops were beautifully arranged to allow enough time to explore the sites without feeling either rushed or too slow. The only time in Galway was the evening, but that is when the city comes to life.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $1115 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 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin?
+
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 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin?
+
Around 6 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and Aran Islands Rail Tour from Dublin 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 Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. 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.
