This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Paddy, was very knowledgeable, and I learned so much about the culture and history of Ireland throughout the day. I was even moved to find an Irish Language Society in my city and am planning to join and learn the language. The van was incredibly comfortable, and Pavel, our driver, drove safely and smoothly. I chose the hike up to Diamond Hill, which was amazing, though it was too windy near the top to reach the summit. The views were still stunning, and I am glad I chose that option. We even got to stop at Kylemore Abbey on the way back and see the outside of it, which I was not expecting and was a great bonus to the day. Paddy gave great recommendations for places to go out in Galway, and I look forward to trying them out! All in all, well worth every penny. Highly recommend!

The tourguide was an extremely upbeat and funny gentleman! it was a pleasure to listen to him talk about a plethora of things: the buildings, the landscape, water drainage in the area, soil, animals, the people and their language, Ireland's history and so much more. He was not only knowledgeable, but also authentic. The Kylemore abbey was nice to look at, but considering we went in January we really didn't need 3 hours. The gardens are very underwhelming this time of year. We did multiple stops throughout are journey to take pictures, which was nice. We stopped for 30 minutes in Cliffden to have a wee break. Overall a lovely tour that I would recommend. And a big "Thank You" to our guide Mike!

We had a fabulous time with Mike. Beyond the elements on Connemara, he shared with us the whole history of Galway and its surroundings in perfectly understandable English! For the visit, we highly recommend Kylemore Abbey. Beyond the beauty of the place, the walk is well worth it. No need to buy tickets in advance, with the tourism company we have access to group rates and Mitchell's Café is good value for money to eat there around 1:30/2 p.m. upon arrival on site. A big thank you to Mike for this unforgettable day through Connemara and the West of Ireland!

A beautiful, scenic drive and our guide was charming and very informative. Unfortunately a lot of the attractions were closed due to the big storm but our guide adapted well and warned us in advance and did what he could to compensate Would havr been incredible if everything was open but very understandably out of their control. Great trip

Very informative excursion, friendly guide but sometimes difficult to understand for French speakers. The time allocated to the activities is perfect.
