Tour to County Clare By Train
(I'm going to copy/paste what the site says.)
"Experience the lunar landscape of Burren and dramatic coastal views from the Cliffs of Moher on this tour to County Clare. Get a taste of ancient and modern Irish life with a visit to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and a tour of the revitalized city of Limerick."
"Catch a train from Dublin to reach Limerick in just over two hours. A short city tour of the setting of Angela's Ashes will reveal a city revitalised by new developments. Get a flavour of the more traditional way of life when you visit Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. The 15th-century fortress has been carefully restored and is set in the middle of a recreated 19th-century Irish village. Wander the village streets and pick up some traditional handicrafts before lunching at an atmospheric Irish pub at Doolin on the Atlantic Coast.
Hop back on board your coach and head to County Clare's dramatic coast. The Cliffs of Moher stretch for miles, with the roar of waves crashing below and the call of seagulls from above. Driving back to Limerick, you'll pass through the strange, lunar-like region of Burren, and along the shoreline of Galway Bay, considered one of the top 10 coastal drives in Europe."
It will take 14.5 hours for the whole trip.
The price ($139.41) includes:
* Guided coach tour of Limerick, Bunratty Caslte, and the Cliffs of Moher
* One-way train from Dublin to Limerick
* One-way train from Galway to Dublin
* Reserved seats and host on the train

The train leaves Heuston Station at 7am, but they are asking us to arrive at 6:40, and we will return to the station at 9:20pm.
