The tour begins with a drive through the Burren, where the guide provides commentary on the area's geology, flora, and historical sites. The first stop is Dunguaire Castle near Kinvara, with about 15 minutes to view the exterior of the 16th-century tower house. Next, the tour stops at Poulnabrone Dolmen, a 5,800-year-old ancient religious site, for around 10 to 15 minutes.
