It was amazing Jerry is the best guide. He gave us explanation about the land and all the villages and also stopped the buss for the panorama photos. We climbed the Diamond hill and the others went to the Abbey. Everything went as expected. Strongly can recommend to everybody. Thank you Jerry

Linda experiencia, con paisajes hermosos y paradas en lugares simplemente bellos. La abadía parece que fuera poca cosa, pero es gigante y te toma mucho tiempo. Nuestro guía fue genial! Se ve más caro que otros tour, pero consideren el ingreso a la abadía.

Well-timed, informative, and many amazing stops along the way that aren’t listed!! Such a beautiful tour I could easily do it again.

The Abbey is amazing. You have several stops on the way where you can get nice pictures of the nature around Connemara!

The driver/guide (Charles) was very knowledgeable. The landscape was beautiful and had enough time in kylemore abbey.
