5.00Fun trip, Mike was a great guide & driver. And Diamond Hill was a really fun hike in Connemara National Park. Great soup in the cafe as well.

5.00Really lovely day. Mike was lovely and everything you’d want in a guide, had lots of local knowledge and I learnt so much! The bus was modern and the drive was bumpy at times but felt very safe and comfortable. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time at Connemara and all the stops felt nicely spaced out with enough time at each to take in the views and get some pics. We’ve done a few day trips from Galway during our stay and this is the one I will be recommending to everyone!

5.00Mike is an awesome guide. He is an incredible fountain of knowledge about the Conmara area and it’s history. He stops at areas to take great pictures. He goes out of his way to make sure you have a great experience.

4.00Mike the driver was friendly, kind, and informative. We made a few stops for photo ops along the way and got us all there safely. Connemara NP was gorgeous! Glad I made the trip.

5.00Mike was a great guide! He didn't overdo it by talking too much, or by being overly enthusiastic about everything. I really enjoyed this tour, as the highlight being the hike up to the top of Diamond Hill in Connemara National Park. We lucked out since there wasn't much wind and no rain. It's such a nice view up top! Just keep in mind that it'll take you almost as long to descend as it does going up. The tour bus I was on this day, was a smaller coach, and even had a couple tables in the back!
Two titles, same tour.

5.00The drive to and from the park and the abbey are as interesting as the abbey. Great way to spend a day outside of Galway. The sign up was confusing - as far as realizing that the trip had two titles, one that mentioned the national park, and one the mentioned the Abbey- but they were the same tour. Would be helpful to clarify that you get to choose going to the national park or going to Kylemore Abbey.
Great day in Connemara

5.00This was a great way to travel to Connemara from Galway! Our driver, Vincent, was wonderful and so informative of Irish history and cultural facts throughout the drive. We spent 3 hours in Connemara National Park and had the absolute best time. We hiked to the top of Diamond Hill and grabbed lunch at the Hungry Hiker Cafe. We had the best weather too. Great tour and would highly recommend!
Unforgettable
