Staff great, drive and stops were nice but needed more time at Kylemore Abbey. Lunch needed to be on separate time slot.

Absolutely wonderful! If you want a bus tour of Connemara and Kylemore Abbey with a few stops along the way, this is a must. Driver and guide were both great. Very kind, funny, knowledgeable, and have great stories to tell. It couldn't have gone better.

Seamus was our guide and he was funny and informative. He had to maneuver around the Connemara Marathon and did a great job ensuring that we had the full tour despite the delays. We elected to see Kilmore Abbey, and it did not disappoint. We had a cold windy day, with a little mist. That made visiting the garden a little hairy, but we had a full opportunity nonetheless. We ate in the Cafe at the Walled Garden and enjoyed a good lunch.

What a wonderful tour with a great tour guide (Michael). I was surprised to find the scenery on this tour even more beautiful than my Cliffs of Moher tour the day before. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide Michael was lovely! The whole trip was beautiful, and Kylemore Abbey was great. Michael suggested we should go to the gardens at the Abbey first, and work our way in and it was perfect timing for our two hours there. Overall, 10/10 experience
