Great experience - We loved the Quiet Man walking tour with Gerry. He had a wealth of information and lots of personal knowledge. Highly recommend taking the 1 hour tour with him.

Will remember this trip for the rest of my life! - We had an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the production of the film. Our family has become a huge fan of this film & we watch it every St. Patrick’s Day! We enjoyed exploring the small town of Cong, and writing in the guest book of the museum. We even had a pint at Cohan’s for the memories.

A part of history and a dice, quiet town - Since Ashford castle was a disappointment, we took a walk. Around kong and there are beautiful monuments and ruins along the river.

Unique tour for any “Quiet Man Crazies” (Aka movie fans) - The tour was wonderful, Jerry shared so many stories about the filming of the Quiet Man in Cong. The village was gorgeous and there’s a great free parking lot near the area. The museum is a one-of-a-kind and the gift shop has a lot of items for family and friends!

Amazing experience - Was a great experience to connect the memories to the movie I viewed many many times. To actually see the location of some of the scenes was so joyous.

Foodie Mad Family Review - Only an hour’s drive from Westport in South Mayo is the picturesque small village of Cong. For a tiny village it certainly packs a punch. We enjoyed a cuppa at The magnificent 5 star Ashford Castle before taking a short drive down the road to the village. We had a wander around the incredible Augustinian Cong Abbey. Its remains feature some of the finest examples of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Ireland. It’s also the location of the famous 1951 movie, The Quiet Man, with Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne. You can get tickets for The Quiet Man Cottage Museum or stroll past the various beautiful locations that featured in the film.

Tour and Taste Galway - Gerry Greallish of Tour and Taste Galway was great. Took us on a walking tour of Galway. The Trieste with the wine and cheese was our favorite of the three. It is a small gen tucked away that we likely would not have found otherwise. Finished off the tour with an Irish coffee made right at OConnells on eyre square. The Hyde was good as well. Their gin was good. Gerry took the time to explain a number of the intricacies of Irish food and drink. And the owner of the Trieste also went to great lengths to explain the various cheeses sampled. And for an afternoon food tour we had plenty of of food and drink. We did the tour August 21 and highly recommend it. I think Gerry has other food tours as well. If they are as good as this one was, please give them a try.

Skip the tour and walk the town on your own. - We visited just in time for the noon tour and was told to hurry to join the group behind the Museum. The tour guide quickly asked for my tickets, which the lady upstairs never gave me so I showed him my receipt for $72 euro - four tickets at $18 euro a piece. The guide then stated “is that the right receipt” so I showed it to him again and this is all in front of 14 other guests waiting for the tour. I get it, Jerry has to tell his stories for $18 euro a piece to stretch the tour into an hour, but lose the jokes about Irish American tourists and how we spend money because that money is what supports this tourist trap. In my opinion, just walk the town on your own at your own pace and skip the $18 euro tour around one block.
