Great Trip. We got to see incredible landscapes - there was plenty of time to do the hike - It might have been great to drop people off going to Kyllmore Abbey First - so you actually get to see the beautiful building from closer up even when you choose the hike. The driver was nice and safe and alle safety measures regarding coven in place. We would definitely recommend the tour!

The most memorial part of the trip had to be Kylemore Abbey closely followed by our driver/guide Gerry who was fantastic with his wit and great knowledge of the area, he made the tour so much better . The landscape of connemara is ever changing but always breathtakinly beautiful . We are so happy we took this tour
Bad tour operator

The Connemara landscapes are wonderful and the Abbey is beautiful.
However, I don't recommend this tour operator at all, it's the worst ever. At some stage of the trip they ask you whether you want to go to visit the national park which is free or the Kylemore Abbey which is 10€. But they try to convince you to visit the Abbey. It was raining so we preferred visiting the Abbey. There you can't book your ticket by yourself. The driver takes the money from everyone and buys the tickets for you. My mother has special needs and a card that proves it. Although the Abbey applied a special tarification in this case, we had to pay full price to the driver. He said to contact Viator to get a refund, which I did but they refused.
Not to mention there was a couple with a kid that chose to visit the national park. They couldn't make it in time till the meeting point because of the rain. The driver simply decided to abandon them there in the middle of nowhere and leave without them after only 5 minutes.
Choose another tour operator. This one only care about money.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to review our tour. I'm sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your day with us. Just a couple of points in relation to your review which need to be corrected. You are correct that on our Connemara Day Tour you get a choice of either a 3 hour stop in the Connemara National Park or a 3 hour stop in the Kylemore Abbey. It is the driver / guides responsibility to point out that the Connemara National Park is free and that we have an agreed discounted rate of €10.00 per person on the tour vehicle for those wishing to visit the Kylemore Abbey. In relation to the special disability rate for Kylemore Abbey, I was unaware of this arrangement and so too was our driver. I've looked into this on their website, www.kylemoreabbey.com and was unable to find any information on it there. So, I contacted the Abbey personally and yes you are correct they do offer a disability rate but you have to book directly with them. In relation to the people left behind at the Connemara National Park, I was actually talking to them on the day on a number of occasions. They fully understood that they were given 3 hours in the Connemara National Park and when they first contacted me they knew that they were going to be 10 minutes late at the rendezvous point. The driver waited for more than 10 minutes but had to depart in order to get back on schedule. Not that it's any of your business, but by the time they finally reached the rendezvous point they were 45 minutes late. I know because I assisted them in getting back to Galway. I'd like to point out the irony of your review while I'm at it. You say that we 'only care about the money' yet you went to the trouble of giving a bad review because of a 50% discount on a €10.00 ticket? Do the maths!
Good

Gerry, the driver and guide was really kind and helpful.
But we didn’t spend a lot of time in the Connemara National Park (we had only 2 hours to eat and visit the park which needs 2h30 normally)
Furthermore we stopped in places which were not really interesting whereas we could spend more time in the principal activity.

I enjoyed of the trip: it was full of pleasant emotions, because we saw the magnificent hills surrounded with calm lakes. From the distance and closer we saw the ocean coast and it was wonderful!
Our experienced driver tried to show us the most picturesque views of our trip!
Thanks a lot!
Unlike anywhere else in Ireland!

The Connemara area is just absolutely stunning and there's truly nothing like it anywhere else. Our bus driver, Mike, was excellent. He gave shared a lot of history of the area and how it's being protected today. He also made several stops for us to get out and take pictures. We opted to go to Kylemore Abbey because of the rainy weather. The abbey, church, and extensive gardens were quite beautiful. This was also where we had lunch and the lunch was quite good. I highly recommend this tour from Galway!
