BOOK WITH CAUTION
Originally booked small group cliffs of moher tour and received a text within 12 hours of the tour it was canceled for low demand. The company did not offer any assistance to rebook/cancel on our behalf, had to do with viator customer service. Luckily could get on a different tour for the next morning but was very disappointed they did not give 24 hours notice as they require if clients cancel.

Small hiccups, excellent over-all
We LOVED the tour. Allen, our driver, was funny and engaging. He was highly professional, handling a very diverse group of 12 strangers with professionalism. The sites we saw were truly epic. The Cliffs of Moher were, of course, of course, breath-taking! The o ly reason I didn't give the trip a full 5 star rating was that there were unclear instructions on the ticket. There were 2 separate groups that ended up at the pick up spot over an hour early because of it. Clear up the instructions and it will be perfect! I would highly recommend this tour.

Tour to Cliffs of Moher
This tour was great! We saw the Cliffs at Moher from the walking path and a boat ride. We loved the stop at the castle and the history learned. Our tour guide, Jimmy, was amazing. He’s full of facts and fun conversations. The ease of having a driver to get us around made the day so much more enjoyable. What a great Ireland experience.

Iconic Ireland
Be aware--this tour crosses from one coast to the other in Dublin, so it is a loooong day, although being on a van versus a tourist bus was helpful. (Be prepared, the weather was warm and sunny--yes, we got lucky--but it was freezing on the bus so we needed our coats after all.) We appreciated getting to see the Cliffs of Moher without having to book a car and try driving on the "other side of the road." And the cliffs are beautiful to see, well worth the visit. Also worthwhile was the ice cream for sale in a booth past the cliff tower--delicious! For me, the surprise of the trip was our stop at Bunratty Castle. I had not expected much, perhaps a wander through some ruins. But, in fact, this castle, while small, was in reasonably good shape. It was easy to imagine how life at the castle might have been back in the day. There are several twists and turns, and some negotiation was needed to get up the narrow stairways with other tourists coming down, but well worth it. Additionally, the entire village has been restored here, so we got to see small residences, the school building, and much more. Again, this was a long day, but it was worth the trip!

Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $148 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 Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 329 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin?
+
Around 115 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle 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 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.

+
Included: Complimentary Wifi; Entry to Cliffs of Moher; Professional Friendly Guide; Transport on luxury Mercedes van; and Small Group Tour. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Small Group Cliffs of Moher and Castle Tour from Dublin?
+
