Traveler reviews
Stunning views and perfect pints!
This tour is well worth the time and money! Our guide, Michael, was funny and knowledgeable and made the entire day enjoyable and the weather cooperated, as well. Although my favorite may have been a pint at Pat Cohan’s!
A Wonderful Day in the Country
We booked this the day before as the weather was looking good for the next day. I wouldn't recommend do that in high season though, as it will probably be sold out. We were picked up outside of our hotel in a van ( benefits of booking at the hotel ) and driven to the main pick up point. It was a great day, it started off quite foggy and then turned to blue skies. Our driver made a few stops along the way to the Abbey for photo ops which was a nice surprise. He also did it on the way back to Galway. It was a great day and would highly recommend it. The only thing I would maybe suggest is to cut off 15 mins from the Abbey and give it to the last stop in Cong for lunch. The cafe at Kylemore Abbey was insanely crowded and we were not able to get anything to eat/drink there. The town of Cong was nice and it would've been a great opportunity to eat/shop there and not be so rushed at the end of the day.
Really Nice Tour
Great driver very knowledgeable and cares about the area, custom's, and the people of the region. He gave us some great advice and made the whole trip a great experience.
