Bogdan was awesome and the tour was AMAZING!!!!!! I would highly recommend this tour…it was at our pace/interest. - Thrilled with the guide, the tour, the cost, what we saw, the food, the experience, the pace, absolutely everything.

Excellent trip - Was flexible with kids and stopping at a playground to run off some energy. Kylemore was great even in the poor weather

A truly special experience! - This was a phenomenal experience. So personal, so interesting and so delightful! Our tour guide, Patrick Curran, was wonderful. As a native of Galway, he was able to share so many details and stories of the area and he had a fun sense of humor. As Patrick noted, we started the tour as customers and ended the tour as friends. God Bless him!

Galway, Connemara, Sheep, and Kylemore Abbey - First and foremost, we LOVED our driver John from Connemara Chauffeurs. He gave us great suggestions on sites to visit, including Galway Cathedral and an off the beaten path sheepdog experience, Killary Sheep Farm. He also squeezed in other memorable scenic stops. 5 stars +++

Connemara private day tour - My 2 friends and I went on a private Connemara day tour w Hugo. It was by far the highlight of our trip. He was so funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The sheep dog demonstration and so was the scenery. We got to choose our own adventure based on suggestions. I would highly recommend booking without any hesitation.

1/2 day private tour - fantastic - Connamera Chauffers were top notch! We did the private tour (two couples) and had a wonderful guide. Picked up right at our Hotel. Highlight for us was the working sheepdog farm and the fjord inside Connamera. Rex the dog and his owner were something to behold as we got to see them both in action herding sheep! 👍🍀👍🍀

Solid day with a couple of bumps - This was a nice trip for the most part. The tour guide was awesome and informative along the way. Unfortunately, the trip was marred by terrible weather which, of course, is no one's fault. There was one stop on this route that was disappointing and that was the Kylemore Abbey. It sure looked amazing from the outside but due to the overwhelming number of tour buses, there were lines after lines. Long story short, big time tourist trap. The border collie demonstration was pretty cool and the kids loved playing with the 2 month old puppies.
