Walk in the Footsteps of Kings, Saints, and ScholarsOne-Day Bus Tour | West Clare & Lough Derg - From Moycullen and Galway City
Step back a thousand years on this unforgettable one-day journey through the heart of Brian Boru country. Join us as we explore the power base of Ireland’s most legendary High King and uncover the rich spiritual legacy of the saints and scholars who shaped early medieval Ireland.
Stand where kings once ruled at the site of Kincora, Brian Boru’s royal seat in Killaloe, the beating heart of the Dál gCais dynasty.
Visit the impressive Boruma Fort, a hilltop stronghold commanding the River Shannon, and imagine the view from Brian’s war room.
Tuamgraney’s ancient church still echoes with history—it’s the only building in Ireland known to have been standing in Brian Boru’s lifetime and still in use today.
Experience the sacred serenity of Inis Cealtra (Holy Island) through the immersive Visitor Experience, a window into Ireland’s monastic Golden Age. From round towers to ruined churches, its memory-laden soil speaks of devotion, learning, and resilience.
Whether you're a history lover, heritage explorer, or just want to stand where legends lived, this tour offers a powerful encounter with Ireland’s past—majestic, mystical, and magnificently real.
