Top Galway Bus Tours - page 4

The bus ride is comfortable and Michael, the driver and guide is a safe driver and very knowledgeable. The views are spectacular throughout the tour. He took us through some small towns and told the history. Kylemore abbey is stunning. But you’ll just be allowed to tour the downstairs. The gardens are lovely, the lunch was very tasty at Mitchell’s. The sheepdog demonstration was very entertaining. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

Phil was one of the funniest and most down-to-earth tour guides I’ve ever had. He was easy to talk to and incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of topics. The Cliffs of Moher hike was manageable and absolutely stunning. Doing the hike with a small group was far more relaxing and enjoyable than being on a large bus tour with dozens of people. You have the chance to get to know everyone, move at a comfortable pace, and really take in the experience. The cliffs themselves are breathtaking. I have never seen such an incredible view. If you’re visiting the Cliffs of Moher, I highly recommend this tour!

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.
