Hamzah_A, Jul 2026

A Can't Miss Opportunity!

Was a pleasure touring the Irish coast with Brogdon. Not only was he timely and courteous, but he is very knowledgeable about Irish history and answered all of our questions! For each of the stops, he built a great story that made the time fly by! Highly recommend this tour and will use them again if/when we return!

Horse riding - Mountain Trail. Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare. Guided. 2 hours.

This tour was my absolute highlight during my travel in Ireland. The guides and horses were both amazing and i felt comfortable the whole time. Regardless of your experience with horse riding, i would definitely recommend this tour if you to experience the irish landscape in a new way.

Galway Food Tours

Sandy_O, Jul 2026

Taste of Traditional and Modern Galway

This is a taste of traditional and modern Galway. Danny, our guide introduced us first to the new coffee culture and amazing bakeries before taking us to a more traditional taste of Galway with a focus on fresh produce, fish, and more. The real treat was learning how new Galway chefs are taking fresh and local ingredients and creating exciting bites for locals and tourists alike. Danny weaved food culture together with the history of Galway. One important recommendation: take this tour at the beginning of your trip as you will want to go back and revisit some of the places or eat at the many recommendations provided by the tour.

Connemara, Cong & Kylemore Abbey Tour from Galway

Camille_M, Jun 2026

Too much time spent at Kylemore Abby

Great travel experience and our driver, Paul, was informative and engaging. Our only disappointment was the lunch venue. Too much time spent at Kylemore Abby for those not interested in paying 28 Euros extra to see gardens and inside the small amount of rooms open to the publi . and our only lunch option. Much better to shave some of that time off for Cong, our next stop, and allow people, like us , to choose a cheape, and quieter , lunch there.

This Tour is Excellent in Every Way

This tour is excellent! Our driver, Michael, provided us with lots of interesting tidbits & was funny to boot! Much of the tour involved riding thru Galway & Connemara. Michael made it fun & stopped often for photo & town breaks. Kylemore is lovely & food at restaurant was delicious! I definitely recommend this tour.

A fun and educational tour

This was a great tour. Our guide kept us fully informed about the areas we traveled through, its history and geography. Our choice was to visit Kylemore Abbey and the three hours allocated to that was plenty of time to tour the abbey. He made plenty of stops for picture taking. I would recommend this tour, it was well worth the full day of exploring.

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.

Small Group - Cliffs Cruise and Aran Islands in a Day from Galway

Great Experience

This was a great tour and experience. Was great to get to see the cliffs from the sea! Our guide Shawn was great. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight into the country and this area. There are lots of options for tours and I’m so glad we went with the one going to rhe Aran Islands. YOU MUST go the horse drawn carriage ride on Ishineer island. They are given by locals who love on the island and the experience of learning from the locals is so important! Highly recommend for couples, families or even solo travelers.

A fun Afternoon!

Peter was wonderful and really helped keep us all at ease, especially our son! None of us had ridden English saddle before, so that was interesting, but with Peter and his crew’s guidance we were able to have a lovely ride! He had great suggestions for dinner and where to go to see the sites afterwards. We would absolutely recommend!
