Great day touring Connemara, thanks to Joe! - Thanks to our wonderful driver, Joe, my sister and I, both seniors, had a great day seeing beautiful Connemara and touring Kylemore Abbey. Joe was friendly, attentive, a very good driver, and knowledgable about the area and its history. He even knew where to stop to purchase reasonably priced Irish woolen items en route. We appreciated his flexibility with our schedule. Highly recommend this service!

Connemara - Bogdan was a very good driver and very informative. Note, the sheepdog demonstration was closed for the season even though advertised as open in October. This was disappointing, however, we still had a very good day.

An amazing day in Connemara! - Our private driver, Patrick, was fantastic! He was friendly, very knowledgeable and a safe driver. He took us up the Connemara coast and to visit Kylemore Abbey. Patrick went out of his way to discover some sacred wells and standing stones for us to view, as I had requested in advance. He pointed out castles and took us through an amazing ancient abbey. It was well worth the cost to have such an amazing driver and to tailor the trip to our preferences. I highly recommend!

Connemara Day trip from Galway - Wonderful and memorable all day outing with our own driver, Pat, who regaled us with veryinteresting stories about local life, and historical backgrounds of places we visited. It was especially great to have someone else do the driving and give our family a break, to enjoy all the incredible scenery. Connemara is spectacular, especially in good weather, and so glad we did this on our first visit to Ireland! We highly recommend this tour, and our fabulous driver Pat, who made it especially enjoyable with his knowledge and friendly approach. Well worth the cost. Thank you, Pat !!
