Top Galway Bus Tours - page 3

Our tour with Fergus was the absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland. It was my first time booking a private car with guide and well worth it. Fergus’s communication was excellent. He greeted us with a warm welcome and whisked us off in his spotless car for a fun, relaxed and informative day. He showed us a number of fascinating and beautiful spots one could not access or manage as part of a larger group and was always happy to pull over for a photo opp, craft shop or scenery. His knowledge of the sites we saw was deep and his story telling engaging but authentic: no canned jokes and corny spiel. He has travelled widely himself and that enhanced the conversation as well. My daughters and I felt like we made a new friend. If I had a friend traveling to this area, this is the number one day out I would recommend to them.

Our hike to the cliffs was phenomenal! Our guide, Phil, was friendly, informative, and kept us laughing the whole trip. The actual hike (really just more of an uphill walk) was very manageable and offered unreal views along the way. We can’t imagine experiencing the cliffs any other way and are truly grateful for this experience :)

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.

Paul was a wonderful guide and driver. Plenty of stops for rest breaks and photos. Only feedback as a potential negative was that although we were there 15-20 minutes before tour departure, the bus was almost full and our family of three got separated. A suggestion would be to ask solo travelers to take empty seats next to other solo travelers to allow for families to sit together. There was no such guidance given.

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.
