“If you want to visit Connemara park for the hike, please go for this tour! It is the only one that gives you three hours in Connemara and you will need them. Connemara national Park has some really nice views and is a good stiff hike without being too much to handle. You really need the three hours to enjoy the full climb, otherwise you can't sit and enjoy the view or take any rests. The stops were all well planned and lasted imo the correct amount of time. My bus driver Vincent was lovely and he helped create a relaxed and jovial atmosphere.”

Review of the Dublin to Connemara and Galway tour, covering Glengowla, seasonal stops, scenery, transport, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Supposed to have 1 1/2 hours in Cong, but cut back to an hour. Just not enough time there. The stop in Connemara was great...so beautiful. Galway would have been better if we could have gotten through the Joyce roundabout. As it was, it took ONE HOUR to through the roundabout and time to get the bus parked. Very long bus ride for about 3 hours of touring time. Even so, glad we took the tour and thankful it was a beautiful day.”

Review of the Galway to Connemara National Park tour, including Diamond Hill, scenic stops, guide tips, timing, value, and practical advice.

“Seamous, our guide was very good, very warm hearted softly spoken and friendly. His narration was lovely. He even allowed us to get off the bus early to walk home along the beach. The Connemara trip took in many sights and stops which was so fabulous and beautiful. it has to be my favourite so far. I can't say anything I didn't like. Getting to the top of Diamond Hill can be done in 2 hours. my advice would be to get as far as you can on the red and come back. you may be surprised how quickly you can get upRead more”
