Top Galway Bus Tours

Great tour guide who was very patient with annoying passenger who didn't pay attention to what he was saying & asked too many questions about things he already gave information about. Unfortunately it was foggy weather, so the views were not as clear as we would have liked, but they were still amazing and beautiful.

This tour was a comfortable bus ride to the Cliff's....it's a 2 hour ride and the driver was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We drove through some wonderful landscapes and we must admit that we were very lucky as sightseeing at the Cliff's can be a crap shoot. The day was perfect for seeing everything and while the wind was howling, it was a great experience. On the way back to Galway, we stopped in Doolin for lunch at McGann's Pub and then back to Galway....great time and once again, bring rain gear and dress appropriately.

D.C., our tour guide, was absolutely the best! We had a spectacular day and learned so much about the history of Ireland and enjoyed special stops along the way to the Kylemore Abbey, where we enjoyed lunch and a walking tour at our pace of the grounds and castle. Not only was our tour and tour guide perfect, so was the weather, which made the experience even better. We cannot thank D.C. enough for his attention, caring attitude, and graciousness the entire day. He made the tour personal, with special touches that made us feel like real VIPs.. even stopping to let us feed the local lambs! Thank you viator and DC! We highly recommend this company and tour guide.

This was a lovely experience! Our driver, Phil, was outstanding. He was informative, funny, and extremely kind. The tour itself was great. The only thing I'll note is that we had planned to be back in Galway at 6P but it was closer to 7P. Not terrible traffic to explain it, just a fun full day. I would budget extra time!

This was great! Easy process and our guide, Brian, was lovely! Very knowledgeable and funny and kind, cared about us as his guests and was helpful in every way he could be on top of driving safely! It was rainy and wet and a bit cold but was still an amazing day with great views and drives.

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.

This was an incredible experience! Our driver took 7 family members north of Galway to County Sligo and County Leitrim to connect with a distant cousin. We are descendants of Irish families that emigrated to Texas. Our driver, DC, was very informative and kind, not to mention patient, and he made our trip very special. We stopped at the Knock Shrine on the way back to Galway.

Excellent tour. So worth leaving the driving to someone else, and our driver/guide Mike, was so knowledgeable. Gained so much interesting insight and information about the area, as well as Ireland as a whole, plus made many stops at places of great interest that might’ve very well otherwise have been missed by having done a self tour. Mike had the gifts of both humor and gab. So glad I did this.
