Lots of walking. Bus driver was very interesting and informative. Food served in the Kylemore Abbey Cafe was excellent; the portions were large.

Our driver, Vincent was incredible! We had a wonderful trip, despite the rainy weather. Vincent told us all about the natural lands in Ireland, took us to Kylemore Abbey where we enjoyed touring the abbery, gardens, and had wonderful tea, cake, and scones at the Tea House. We had a great trip. Thanks for the day, Vincent.

Fun 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.

Really 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!

Mike 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.

Mike 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.

Mike was our guide and he was so lovely! So much context, history, and humor. Definitely recommend doing this.

Mike 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!
