What To Expect
Barack Obama Plaza visitor centre
Our first stop is the famous Barrack Obama Plaza, a must-visit landmark in Ireland. This isn’t just any service station—it’s THE service station, built in honor of former U.S. President Barack Obama, whose ancestors hailed from nearby Moneygall. Here, you can grab a quick bite, stock up on snacks, or snap a selfie with the Obama statue before continuing your adventure. Don’t miss the quirky Conan O’Brien Air Pump, named after the legendary talk show host following his visit!
Upon departing Barrack Obama Plaza the coach will drive past the ancient cities of Limerick and Ennis as-well as drive for a brief few moments underneath the widest and longest river in all Ireland; the majestic River Shannon. Shortly after the Shannon we will past by Bunratty Castle and begin to traverse the winding roads of County Clare, home of the Cliffs of Moher. Ennistymon is a rite of passage for anyone taking a coach tour to the Cliffs of Moher for it is home to the dreaded ‘Kissing Corner of Ennistymon’ known across the west of Ireland for the difficulty some drivers have with navigating one of the tightest turns in the entire island! With our drivers however you will see what a real professional driver can do as they’ll sail right through no matter the conditions. Make sure to hold your breath and don’t forget to applaud your driver when they take you around this turn towards adventure.

5.00This was a wonderful experience. Aoife was our tour guide and she did a wonderful job talking about Irish history and the contexts of all of the landmarks. She was funny, informative, and incredibly helpful. She offered several tips and suggestions about where to go, what to eat, and how to get around. She was very good about keeping us all on time to every destination. The views of the Cliffs as well as the Burren a s Galway city were all so wonderful and she made it a lot better. The bus driver Nick was excellent and handled the vehicle excellently. the ride on the coach was smooth for the entire day. I highly recommend Finn McCools tours. Get with Aoife If you can!

5.00Aoife was a delightful tour guide. Knowledgeable about both ancient and contemporary Irish history but always kept things approachable, funny, and light hearted. Nick was a safe pair of hands behind the wheel. Also great job on the playlist, nothing but bangers.
Great tour!
