Great tour!!!
Our guide John was absolutely terrific. He made our trip so enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and put us all at ease! This was well worth it and we are are so happy we had this experience!
Book this tour!
Christian was a great guide! He had a ton of knowledge to share and was very engaging. We feel like we got to see a lot without feeling rushed and the itinerary was great.
Best Ever Day Out in Connemara!
Our tour with Fergus was the absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland. It was my first time booking a private car with guide and well worth it. Fergus’s communication was excellent. He greeted us with a warm welcome and whisked us off in his spotless car for a fun, relaxed and informative day. He showed us a number of fascinating and beautiful spots one could not access or manage as part of a larger group and was always happy to pull over for a photo opp, craft shop or scenery. His knowledge of the sites we saw was deep and his story telling engaging but authentic: no canned jokes and corny spiel. He has travelled widely himself and that enhanced the conversation as well. My daughters and I felt like we made a new friend. If I had a friend traveling to this area, this is the number one day out I would recommend to them.
June tour
Pat was a wonderful guide and host, and we never felt rushed or uncared for. His Mercedes coach was quite comfortable.
Excellent experience
Thoroughly enjoyed the day in Connemara. Our tour guide Bogdan knew his stuff. We learned a lot of important history about the area and Ireland. He gave a lot of options on what to see. My parents are elderly and so we didn't do as much and had shortened times at places because they get tired easily, and Bogdan was very flexible and go-with-the-flow about it. This tour was a highlight of our trip and it was more meanigful taking the tour than trying to drive it on our own. Highly recommend.
