We get to see the lovely...
We get to see the lovely Connemara countryside and learn a good deal about the area. The bus is very comfortable and Vincent , the driver/ tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learnt about the history of the area, the Irish economy and politics, Irish sport. Bog formation , cutting turf and much more. It was hard to choose between the Kylemore Abbey and the National Park . But as it was a beautiful day I had an enjoyable and invigorating walk up Diamond Hill ant Connemara NP and was rewarded with a fantastic view at the top.

Outstanding!!!
We saw a lot of the Galway and Connemara area and yet Kylemore Abbey stole the show. It made the entire trip worthwhile. Shane, our host, was spectacular! He gave us so much information about the area and what we were seeing and at the same time made it fun! It surpassed my expectations!

Excellent tour for someone open to all kinds of food
A great food tour for someone who is open to trying all kinds of food. Enjoyed chocolates, cheeses, meats, fried cheese, and different types of alcohol. Lunch was a delicious seafood meal. My guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend for anyone looking to try good food.

A must do adventure!!!
We did the 2 hour ride through the surrounding Forrest with views of the cliffs, the Atlantic. It was an amazing experience to not only ride horses in the Irish countryside but to also learn so much about an area that is steeped in history. Peter paired us up with horses based on our experience level and was a wealth of knowledge. As a rider, I came in hopeful and was completely blown away by both the horse’s care and the quality of the entire experience. We cantered through the Forrest and the learned about the surrounding area, even identifying the local school house and famine ruins.
I was very fond of the horse I was paired with. Romeo was adorable, cheeky, and every bit the perfect boy. Katrina was a sweet guide who took her time to chat about my horses back home, while also sharing fun facts about the area.
The tour was a dream come true for me and a great reprieve from our busy lives at home. It was surreal and I look forward to snagging another opportunity to visit and ride with the team again!

Excellent and would recommend!
We had an excellent day on this tour. The bus was comfortable and the guide was wonderful. We made several spots and had an appropriate amount of time at each spot. Alan, our guide, was an excellent story teller and we appreciated his style of sharing Irish history and giving context while we drove around. Plenty of bathroom breaks, a wonderful spot for coffee/tea, and a nice lunch break made for a very comfortable trip.

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.

Our driver Pavel was excellent. He had a humerus delivery and made the history of the country fun to learn. I appreciated the concern he had for his passengers’ wellbeing. The tour quide on the island was a local resident and he was also well versed in the history of island. The boat ride and tour guide of the Cliffs of Mohr was well run and engaging . It was a well organized and enjoyable day.

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!

Great experience!
We had a great time at Cliffs of Moher. Unfortunately there was a lot of traffic that day so we couldn't spend 2hs there but 1:15hs was enough. The guide modified the times so we could get back to our cruise on time and then made an extra stop at the harbour, we really appreciate it.
