5.Private Cliffs of Moher Tour Small Group from Ennis, Ireland

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.)

Travel privately from Ennis with guide Trevor to the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Poulnabrone Dolmen, Ennistymon Falls, Lisdoonvarna, and Corkscrew Hill. This 5 to 6 hour outing suits small groups that want flexible pacing, hotel pickup, snacks, and fewer crowds than a large coach tour.

“Visited Ireland with an older group of friends and wanted a more private experience visiting the western coast of Ireland (including the cliffs of Moher) than the all day time constraints and large buses packed with people. We were very pleased with this tour from start to finish. Our guide, Trevor was very knowledgeable and accommodating for our older group of friends and flexible with the custom itinerary that we wanted to experience. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour for a more intimate experience of the area with flexibility and wants to avoid the large groups and crowds.”
