I invited my partner to this guided day tour around Connemara, including a stop at Kylemore abbey and at Cong, and he was delighted with the tour. Also, there was enough time to visit all the places and to spend a while in the stops to take pictures or to contemplate the landscape. Guide was funny and knowledgeable, he made the trip a lot more interesting. Bus was in time and schedule times were accurately followed.Read more”

“Lovely day tour from Galway. Mike, our bus driver and tour guide was so engaging and informative - we learned a TON within minutes of setting off, and over the course of the day. We originally wanted to do the hike but were unlucky with poor weather! The abbey and grounds were impressive though and definitely worth it, so if you’re in the same boat and run into clouds and rain on yours, don’t worry! Plenty to see and do, and definitely take Mike’s advise on how to tackle exploring the abbey grounds. 10/10, would recommend.”
