This tour was fabulous. Our tour guide was patient, knowledgable, friendly and made our day tour interesting and fun. He was helpful and was happy to do anything he could to make our day an enjoyable one. This tour showed us some spectacular sights in Ireland and no visit to Dublin would be complete without seeing this lovely area of Ireland. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thanks for a wonderful day.
I was afraid the day might get too long, but it wasn't bad at all with the new motorway heading across to Galway. Connemara is a wonderful, rugged part of Ireland, and no trip to the Emerald Isle would be complete without visiting the west. We had dreadful weather, but still a fun time. You will, of course, be in the bus for a great deal of the time, but it was broken up by fairly frequent stops. We had nearly two hours at Kylemore Abbey and a full hour in Galway to explore. And our driver, Bud, was very friendly and fun.
This trip was great! We were making good time, so our driver was thoughtful enough to make a few extra stops. He was very knowledgeable, and the boat ride in the fjord was beautiful. Even my 11 year old son enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this trip.
It was a lovely day, the driver (Mike) was great and certainly knew his history. I would highly recommend this tour as it offers an opportunity to see the "green" of Ireland. We asked to be dropped off in Galway instead of returing to Dublin-we (and our luggage) were accommodated and the driver even dropped us to our hotel at the end of the tour.
Highly recommend
We had a very small group but Ger was a great guide. Gave us lots of great info and was extremely flexible and accommodating, and knew where to stop for the best photos. We had a great day and loved the trip!
Connemara is a beautiful area to visit. The mountains are beautiful and it's fun going around on the scenic roads and being able to see the farms. Just watch out for the sheep - they do have the right of way in the streets. This was my first tour in Ireland and it was definitely a great tour to start with. The tour guide was great - very professional and very knowledgeable.
the time in Galway was unfortunatly too short
The scenery and Galway was great! I understand that it was very far away and the weather was not very cooperative. But the guide could have spoke to us more often! There were long periods of silence (as long as 2 hours!), no photo stops, no stories which was disappointing. It was really boring in the bus.
Tony the driver and guide was wonderful.
Beautiful!
Beautiful countryside and a great guide but not enough time to really enjoy Galway.
Connemara was beautiful and tour boat was great. There was a lot of time spent on the bus, a little more than I had expected. There wasn't enough time to stay in Galway more than an hour. I wish we had been able to spend more time there. The scenery was amazing. The trip back to Dublin takes about 3 hours... It makes for a long day. Probably a little overpriced compared to the Cliffs of Moher day trip.
The area was beautiful, Galway was a fun vibrant city to explore. Our driver was very informative when we finally convinced him to talk. The mic in the bus was not working so we did not get any sort of a commentary as to where we were going and what we were seeing. When we stopped at a site the driver was informative when asked however it was too bad we were not able to have more dialogue during the long bus ride.
