Is a Cliffs of Moher tour from Dublin worth it?

Is Dublin or Galway better as a starting point?

Dublin is better if that is your base. Galway is better if you want a shorter and usually less tiring day.

How much time do tours usually give you at the cliffs?

Often around 1.5 to 2 hours. The featured Dublin route includes about 2 hours.

Are these tours good for families?

Usually yes for families with older children. The biggest question is how your group handles a long travel day.

What should I wear?

Layer up, bring waterproof protection, and wear shoes you trust on windy, exposed paths.

What if the weather is bad?

Fog and wind are possible at any time. The scenery can still feel dramatic, but wide views are not guaranteed.
