Stunningly beautiful national park and Abbey

A beautiful part of the west coast of Ireland. Our driver and guide Mike, was excellent in his knowledge and very personable. We then went on to Kylemore Abbey. Where we spent a couple of hours. Another stunningly beautiful place! We can recommend this tour and Mike highly.

Can't miss tour when you're in Galway!

Mike was our tour guide/bus driver, and did an exceptional job. The roads in the Connemara region are... Challenging... But he did an expert job of safely navigating them while also providing our bus with some very interesting history. He also gave us some great tips on how to maximize our time in the Kylemore Abby. Worth noting: this is one of the few tour options that gives you 3 hours to either hike around the park or explore the Abby, and I think you need every minute of that 3 hours, because there is just so much to see. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Galway area.

Absolutely amazing

We were lucky that this was a small bus tour. Our driver was great & pointed out lots of interesting. The small towns & sights were wonderful. Cliftden & the sky road was breathtaking. Connemara mountains has more than 50 shades of green & is gorgeous. Kylemoore Abbey & area is beyond words. Make sure you visit the church & mausoleum. The pillars in the church are the different marbles found in Ireland.
