Connemara Day Trip from Dublin - Anthony was the tour guide and driver. He was kind, courteous, and knew the history that I wanter to learn.
I was on the tour solo and I sat in the front. I felt very comfortable and he answered all my questions and never complained.

Great experience in beautiful Connemara - Connemara is breathtakingly beautiful. Our driver Anthony was amazing, knowledgeable and funny. Great experience. Even though I would have preferred to skip the trip to Galway and just experience the beauty of Connemara.

Interesting trip - We were scheduled for the Connemara trip that got cancelled, and chose the Celtic tour among the offered alternatives. It turned out to be a good idea, the tour itself was interesting for learning about irish history/background and our guide (Jonathan) was very informative and attentive.

Connemara -a world of beauty - This day trip offers the most wonderful vistas of Connemara - rolling green hills, golden lit peaks and fjords,mysterious peat bogs, lakes and sheep and tiny winding tracks. We watched as sheep were mustered by an excited but skillful dog; we visited Kylemore Abbey; we wandered the bustling streets of Galway. The bus driver was chatty and knowledgeable. This was just the trip for a wet day in Ireland.

Cancelled tour - I don't know. You tell me. You cancelled on me so I did not experience Connemara. However I was able to experience Giant's Causeway...absolutely lovely.

Awful - Our trip to Connemara by Irish day tours was cancelled on 29th of April 2023. Nobody informed us before and we had to ask around on the tour morning (6:30 am) to know that it was cancelled due to low number of bookings (only 4 ) as one of the other routes drivers said. So, nobody was even sent to inform us it is cancelled. This is very disappointing and I will never book with them again.

HAVE NOT RECIEVED REFUND - I booked this tour online for the next day someone called me the and told me the tour was cancelled. When I requested an email confirmation about the tour being cancelled they said they would send it to me and they didn't. The 130€ I spent has NOT been refunded. That is a lot of money in these times and when I called the girl picked up and i thought I had the wrong number when I called back it was the machine. I called three more times no answer ! GIVE ME MY MONEY PLEASE In the "when did you go " I put August2020 but we DID NOT GO ON THIS TOUR BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS CANCELLED.
