My sister and I have done...
My sister and I have done the “wander and drive ourselves” around Ireland before, but this time traveling with our 82 year old dad, we wanted to have a more structured experience and this trip was perfect for that goal. Alan, our guide, was so personable and he shared so many interesting historical facts. (Bring anti-nausea medicine if it’s a rough day. People were struggling on the ferry due to rough water.)

One of the best tours to take from Galway
Torch’s was out driver and tour guide for this amazing experience and she was wonderful. This is an all day trip and is so worth it. Kylemore Abbey and the gardens was so beautiful, as was the drive through the mountains and fjord. But the highlight was the Joyce sheepdog farm with lambs and puppies. Then we stoped in Cong to see where the movie The Quiet Man took place. It’s a long day but I can’t recommend this tour enough. And definitely ask for Sorcha. She is a fabulous driver and wonderful tour guide. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Ireland!

Five stars: Connemara, Kylemore Abbey and the Wild Atlantic Way made for a wonderful day from Galway
Five stars: Connemara, Kylemore Abbey and the Wild Atlantic Way made for a wonderful day from Galway We had a terrific experience on the Connemara, Kylemore Abbey and Wild Atlantic Way tour from Galway on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Our tour guide and mini-coach driver, Mike, did a great job from start to finish. Mike had the right balance of narration, local stories, humor, photo stops and coffee stops before and after the featured attractions. He also navigated the narrow roads like a pro, which made the long day feel easy and enjoyable. The mini-motor coach was first class and very comfortable. We opted for Kylemore Abbey rather than Connemara National Park, and three hours was the perfect amount of time. We were able to visit the gardens, then the abbey, and then the chapel without feeling rushed. Kylemore Abbey was a surprise and delight. While this is a long day, the scenery, sightseeing, stops and Mike’s narration made it very enjoyable. The weather was also great for our tour, which made the Wild Atlantic Way and Connemara landscapes even more memorable. One note, similar to what a previous reviewer mentioned: the tour name might be clearer as “Connemara or Kylemore Abbey and Wild Atlantic Way tour from Galway” so travelers understand that the main stop is a choice between Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey, not both. Overall, five stars. A beautiful, well-run day trip from Galway.

A private tour worth the splurge
ABSOLUTELY recommend this tour. Our driver, Bogdan, was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Stops were well timed and never felt rushed. Sheepdog add-on is absolutely worth it. Don’t skip the beef stew at the pub lunch stop on Doolin! A safe driver and comfortable vehicle. If you aren’t renting a car, a private tour is worth the splurge and the pricing with this vendor is extremely competitive.
