Itinerary
Nestling under Croagh Patrick mountain, his beautiful little town has been voted 'Ireland's tidiest town' on a number of occasions. It has also been voted as the best place to live in Ireland.
Magnificent deserted valley created by glaciers during the ice age eleven thousand years ago. The isolation is spiratual.
Ireland's only fjord is dominated by high mountains on either side. The mist covered peaks will amaze you.
One of the highlights of the tour. This building was built as a home for Mitchell Henry in the 1860's. Now one of the most popular visits in Connemara
From here you get an understanding of the meaning of Connemara (indented coast). The view overlooking Clifden Bay and the Atlantic Ocean features many bays and islands. Always a WOW!
Known as the capital of Connemara this lovely little town has an interesting history. The first flight crossing the Atlantic Ocean happened near here in 1919. It took more than 16 hours! We will have lunch here in the Station House.

Traveler reviews
Wonderful tour guide in Ireland
Neal Doherty spent two full days with the two of us driving us north and south of Galway (so both the Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher tours) It was just wonderful. He was fun and interesting and it was just A+. I have a list of the really great folks we have been able to travel with over the past few years and he is on it. The next time we go to Ireland, I will plan to book him well in advance. He seems to cover all or at least most of Ireland. What more can I say? He was great.
Review from a travel agent on behalf of my clients

His knowledge of history and literature was outstanding, making the day fascinating and memorable. Thanks so much, Neal, I will definitely be sending more clients your way! Ciara - Travel Edge
