Terrific Red Deer session

I had a great experience during seeing and photographing Red Deer with my guide Mark. He was friendly and knowledgeable and being a photographer himself understood the best positions and light conditions for photos . I really enjoyed the afternoon and got some lovely photos.

Does not worth

Overpriced. John, our guide, was friendly, but tried to dismiss us after just a 1.30h quick walk at the Connemara Visitor Centre. You can do the same tour for free and admire the Deers that live protected in that area. In conclusion, not a 3 hour tour as promised, and no Deer Watching around the woods.
