A must see!!

Kelly_B, Jul 2026

A must for nature lovers. This was the most beautiful area we had seen on the trip. The guide was super friendly and kind talking us through all the places and what to expect. This is a fantastic way to see Connemara at your own pace.

Legendary Craic

Judd_A, Oct 2025

If you want to truly experience a proper tour - with legendary history and humor - look no further than this tour. We saw all the beauty of Conomera - with all the abbeys and the castles and the pubs. Bogdan was exceptional - we would hire him for every tour if we could. A true scholar and a gentleman. We know so much more about the history of this beautiful country because of this tour. The only thing better than the views and the stories was the incredible food at the restaurant that he set us up for us and that he was even kind enough to dine with our group at. From the lamb burger (life changing) to the oysters (best OF YOUR LIFE) - it was truly an awesome day. Bogdan took his time with us and tailored the tour to our liking. There is not an experience that I could recommend more and we have been on a lot of great tours on this beautiful trip. Book your tour now because he books up quick. Slainte con mucho Uisce beatha

Amazing Connemara tour

Shikha_G, Aug 2025

We had an amazing full-day tour of Connemara with our driver, DC. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and made the entire trip engaging and enjoyable. DC was fantastic with our kids, patient and fun, which made the day even more special for our family. He’s also an excellent driver, handling the narrow roads with ease and making us feel safe throughout the journey. He took us to all the must-see spots, including Kylemore Abbey, Killary Fjord, beautiful castles, and the stunning Sky Road. Each stop was breathtaking, and DC made sure we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend both the tour and DC!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Baaaa !

Barbara_S, Jun 2025

We enjoyed so many marvelous attractions. The absolute pinnacle was the visit to the sheep farm where we watched a sheep dog move the sheep at herder commands. Then we witnessed the herder sheer a sheep. Also got to cuddle and feed a baby lamb. Wow!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

That's absolutely wonderful to hear! The sheep farm visit truly sounds like a highlight. Watching those intelligent sheepdogs work, seeing the shearing, and getting to cuddle a baby lamb – it's those unique, hands-on experiences that make a trip unforgettable. So glad you had such a "Wow!" moment!

Fantastic day tour

jericholland, Aug 2023

Our guide, Sorin, was so knowledgeable and interesting. He really made the tour come alive by explaining everything we were seeing and making the experience so much more entertaining than a typical tour. I highly recommend this tour to see as much as possible in one day.
