Itinerary

What You’ll See & Learn:

  1. The Cliffs of Moher
    Walk along the cliff tops where sea meets sky, 700 feet above the Atlantic. Learn the legends, geology and ecological richness of this world-famous site—while your guide steers you clear of the worst of the crowds.
Optional: quieter coastal walk with views just as stunning and far less touristy.
  2. The Burren National Park
    A stark, stunning limestone wilderness that feels like another planet—and yet it’s full of rare orchids, ancient tombs, and farming traditions older than Christianity.
We'll explore the landscape on foot, by car, or both—tailored to your energy levels and curiosity. Optional stops include:
    • Poulnabrone dolmen (Neolithic portal tomb)
    • Caherconnell stone fort or local farm visit
    • A hidden famine village or forgotten holy site
  3. Coastal Towns & Wild Detours
    Depending on the route, we might visit:
    • Kinvara (with a scenic view of Dunguaire Castle)
    • Ballyvaughan or Doolin for lunch or local crafts
    • A tucked-away beach or viewpoint only locals know
  4. Galway City
    Finish with a stroll through Galway’s Latin Quarter, soaking in its music, colour and bohemian flair. We can recommend the best spots for oysters, coffee, bookstores, or even a cheeky glass of something before heading back.
Optional: extended visit or early dinner in Galway if your schedule allows.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

Rated 5 out of 5
"I've done three tours with these folks and they all exceed expectation. Fun and engaging, their knowledge of the city, the country and the people who have formed it is unsurpassed. Told on a way that really connect you to ireland and Irishness. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough."
Janine HardyGoogle Review
"I was lucky enough to join one of Jim’s recent Dublin walking tours, organised for a group of his former students. We explored some of the city’s oldest and most tucked-away corners - places you’d probably walk right past without Jim’s expert eye. His mix of deep knowledge and lively storytelling made the whole experience not just informative but genuinely fun. Easily one of the most enjoyable tours I’ve ever been on!"
Anne Maire CookeGoogle Review
Had a great tour with Jim on a beautiful sunny day in Dublin. His depth of knowledge is impressive but also you have a good laugh on the way. We went off the beaten track and discovered lots of interesting and fun facts. Highly recommend Dublin Unlocked for your next tour! Thanks Jim... we had a great day.
Deirdre NolanGoogle Review
