The Galway Rambler is a 3 day, 2 (or 3) night tour that allows you to experience the buzzing heart of Galway by night and its medieval roots by day, coupled with tours to the offshore inhabited island of Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, and the stunning scenery of Connemara. Starts from Galway.
Upon arrival in Galway you are whisked away to the Cliffs of Moher, the exhilarating Atlantic sea-cliffs located on the west coast of Co. Clare. Then it is back to Galway for a medieval walking tour of the city and taste of the madness that is the Galway’s nightlife. Galway’s pubs come with warning signs and we can only advise that you try to get some sleep for the day ahead.
We will start off the next day with a morning stroll through the Saturday Market with its numerous trinkets and organic delights. Next we are off to catch the ferry the Inishmore, largest of the Aran Islands, for a cycle tour to Dun Aonghasa, the prehistoric stone fort. Our tour of the island will end with a stay at a hostel on the island and a couple pints at the local pub. The next day we head back to Galway via the roads through the boggy, mountainous region of Connemara. We’ll hop off the coach for a natural walk through the Connemara mountains before arriving Galway where our tour comes to an end.
Day by Day:
Galway Nightlife:
Galway's pubs and nightclubs are famous the world over for their alluring blend of music, entertainment and good craic. We sample a few of Galway's favorites, proving a age-adage: You can bring a horse to water, but you certainly can't tell him when to go home!
Galway Walking Tour:
Established in the 13th century by an Anglo-Norman adventurer, the medieval village has since spread its wings to become one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. We take you on a tour of its medieval heart taking in the Saturday market, reminiscent of a fair day in times past.
Aran Islands Adventures:
We set sail to Inishmore, the largest of the three Aran Islands, and explore the areas abundant scenic amenities and historical sites. Our route takes us across beaches, through fields and along country lanes. On a good day we shorten the journey by bicycle, or a bad day by motor coach. Whatever way we travel it makes for a memorable journey!
Dun Aonghasa:
Named after the Celtic God of Love, Dun Aonghosa is a 3,000 year old stone fort on the edge of a shear cliff, high above the sprawling Atlantic. Defensive fortress or religious site: Dun Aonghasa’s promontory location routinely challenges and inspires visitors.
