    I can't find any tour operators providing such a tour, the exception being from Galway.
    Are there really no tours to the caves from Ennis?

    I'm working in a hotel in Ennis, and don't know of any tours. Barretts Tours do tours of the Burren, but they don't seem to stop at the caves. Give the caves a buzz, they will be able to tell you who does tours. In the hotel, we use a local taxi service who have a range of cars or mini buses to suit your needs depending on numbers

    Thanks, we contacted Barretts who said they were only operating on Saturdays till business picks up.
    That was our backup plan failed!!

    I think a taxi that far for two would be awfully expensive, its strange there's no sort of shuttle bus.

    Edit: we leave on Saturday is why we can't do Barretts unfortunately.

    Best contact Aillwee caves direct. Not many companies will do tours until the summer time I'd say.

    So we got a bus to Galway at 6am, then took a tour from there which took us to see the cliffs and the caves.
    Absolutely wrecked but it was worth it :)
