5.00We had a lovely day exploring Connemara. Our guide Sorin was accommodating and knowledgeable. The Sky Rd drive was a highlight. The traditional Irish pubs were quaint and the food and drinks were terrific.
Perfect way to explore a beautiful area

5.00We had a wonderful full day exploring the Connemara area. Our guide Bogdan was exceptional: a wealth of information, a professional and courteous driver, and an engaged conversation partner throughout the day. I also appreciate Sean in the office, who handled the arrangement beautifully and was an excellent communicator. This was the right way for us to make the most of a single day to explore the Connemara region.
Great day touring Connemara, thanks to Joe!

5.00Thanks to our wonderful driver, Joe, my sister and I, both seniors, had a great day seeing beautiful Connemara and touring Kylemore Abbey. Joe was friendly, attentive, a very good driver, and knowledgable about the area and its history. He even knew where to stop to purchase reasonably priced Irish woolen items en route. We appreciated his flexibility with our schedule. Highly recommend this service!

5.00Bogdan was a very good driver and very informative. Note, the sheepdog demonstration was closed for the season even though advertised as open in October. This was disappointing, however, we still had a very good day.
An amazing day in Connemara!

5.00Our private driver, Patrick, was fantastic! He was friendly, very knowledgeable and a safe driver. He took us up the Connemara coast and to visit Kylemore Abbey. Patrick went out of his way to discover some sacred wells and standing stones for us to view, as I had requested in advance. He pointed out castles and took us through an amazing ancient abbey. It was well worth the cost to have such an amazing driver and to tailor the trip to our preferences. I highly recommend!

5.00Wonderful and memorable all day outing with our own driver, Pat, who regaled us with veryinteresting stories about local life, and historical backgrounds of places we visited. It was especially great to have someone else do the driving and give our family a break, to enjoy all the incredible scenery. Connemara is spectacular, especially in good weather, and so glad we did this on our first visit to Ireland! We highly recommend this tour, and our fabulous driver Pat, who made it especially enjoyable with his knowledge and friendly approach. Well worth the cost. Thank you, Pat !!
