This tour was great! Although the weather was terrible (heavy rain and winds), the views near Kylemore Abbey were so beautiful. I’d like to visit again and walk in the Connemara park when the weather is better. I had about an hour in Cong. It was enough to go and see around there, so I was satisfied with it.

We had a fabulous day trip to a stunningly beautiful part of Ireland with a well-informed, friendly and courteous driver. He talked about the points of interest in great detail and had much knowledge to share with all of us. Thank you!

Driver was funny, the views in Connemara are breathtaking and the locals and guides are really friendly and welcoming.

Micheal was awesome and the trip was very well organised.

Trip was really pleasant and good. Highly recommended.
