A good experience

We had a good experience with thus tour company on a recent trip to Connemara. The check in was easy, the driver was very good (Francis). I felt a little sorry for him, as he had to do the commentating and driving, and some of the roads were a little tricky. He managed well though.

Unforgettable day!

This was truly a journey to a magical area. Our tour guide Mike was a seasoned veteran who brought history to life! It was a great day! I really enjoyed this tour much more than the first one I took to The Cliffs with another company. The other just drove us to the Cliffs and back in 5 hours. Sitting in a front seat, I noticed the only talking he did was with his friends on personal conversations while driving…

Nice tour of Connemara

Great experience, good commentary from the driver, very informed. And the stops were nice and allowed us to see the Abbey. We are a little short on time on that one, it would be nice to make a three hour stop at least, but the time was ok for a quick visit. The weather helped, and the group was well behaved and well managed. I also did this solo, so I recommend it for a solo or group experience.
