Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong

From$25
Galway, Ireland

Full description

The Quiet Man Film Locations Walking Tour is a must for fans of the John Wayne classic, The Quiet Man. The guided tour brings visitors to the original film locations including Inisfree, Castletown, the Pat Cohan's Bar, the Dying Man's House, the Reverend Playfair's House, the fight scenes, the courting scenes and the "patty fingers in the holy water" scenes. Visitors hear: what happened when Hollywood invaded the sleepy village of Cong in 1951; what the film stars were like; how they interacted with the locals; and how the locals became intimately involved in the making of the movie. The tour includes entrance to The Quiet Man Museum. Visitors can dress up in costume for photos and re-enactments. A great interactive experience full of good old Irish craic. The walking tour and museum entry last approximately 1 hour. The tour consists of a short, easy stroll around the village of Cong with stops every few minutes at the movie locations.

Cong and The Quiet Man must do!

Wonderful and funny. Being a little younger, I have not seen this movie but know of John Wayne. Now I must see the movie and want to learn more about the movie and the characters and actors. Not only that but Cong is a wonderful gem of a community and the time spent there made great memories. Our guide was funny and very enjoyable to listen to.

It goes rain or shine. Excellent guide. Funny. All outdoors except at the end. Well worth the money.

I couldn't ask for anything better this place is always on point.

It was a warm hospitality that makes me feel at home away from home.
