Mike was our tour guide/bus driver, and did an exceptional job. The roads in the Connemara region are... Challenging... But he did an expert job of safely navigating them while also providing our bus with some very interesting history. He also gave us some great tips on how to maximize our time in the Kylemore Abby. Worth noting: this is one of the few tour options that gives you 3 hours to either hike around the park or explore the Abby, and I think you need every minute of that 3 hours, because there is just so much to see. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Galway area.

Nice tour guide but good if can switch on the air-conditioner as we felt studdy in non-ventilated coach with sealed windows. Good if organiser can include both Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park in the tour

The trip to Connemara and Kylemore Abbey with Mike was excellent. Mike’s commentary was comprehensive and witty. We enjoyed every minute of it.

Gerry was fantastic. Took the time to explain details along the way - like stopping to show the cut peat. Quite the singer too. My wife and two teenage daughters thoroughly enjoyed this.

This was such a beautiful tour of Connemara and Mike was such a wonderful guide! The views were truly exquisite, and Mike was kind enough to stop often so we could all capture great photos! We stopped at many scenic views, and in the afternoon, we all had the choice to spend two hours at either the Connemara National Park or Kylemore Abbey. My boyfriend and I chose the National Park and we thought it was well worth it!! We were both very pleased with our tour!!

Belle découverte du Connemara. Grâce aux arrêts nous avons pu profiter des paysages et prendre des photos de jolis endroits. Le fait que c était un mini bus l ambiance était plus sympa. Le chauffeur était très sympathique mais dommage que il n y avait pas casque pour écouter en français les principales informations
