It was a wonderful trip! Our tourguide Mike was very funny and we learned a lot of interesting facts. Connemara is beautiful but we didn’t know that you need to choose between seeing the Kylemore abbey or the Connemara Parc! In the End we did the Connemara Hike and Mike even did let us take a picture of Kylemore Abbey for a few minutes ! So we kind of had both! Great Experience i would definitely recommend!

Very well thought through tour. If you are quick, thee hours they give are enough to go through all the trains in the National Park, or just enjoy one or two in a slow pace. Two hours other companies give for the walk would be not enough. There are also many sweet stops on the way. Mike was amazing - the program is done with care - first tour guide ever to care to tell things on the way back as well. Light, pleasant humor as well. Highly recommended.
