    Irish is the spoken language on the Aran Islands (we rarely ever say Gaelic), although the locals will be more than happy to speak to you in English. For many, the highlight of the tour is the formidable pre-Christian fort of Dún Aonghusa, (Phon: Doon Aengussa) with spectacular sea-cliffs on the western side and unspoilt views of the Atlantic Ocean. Your tour of Inis Mór begins and ends at the island's airport and includes stops at 'Seven Churches' (15 minutes), Dún Aonghusa (75 minutes) and Kilronan for lunch (45 minutes). Please always be back at the bus at the time and place specified by the driver.
