Galway to Connemara and Cong in one day, with Kylemore Abbey, Killary Harbour, Lough Nafooey sightings, Cong Village, and great guiding.

“This tour was great! Although the weather was terrible (heavy rain and winds), the views near Kylemore Abbey were so beautiful. I’d like to visit again and walk in the Connemara park when the weather is better. I had about an hour in Cong. It was enough to go and see around there, so I was satisfied with it.”

“This was a great tour and experience. Was great to get to see the cliffs from the sea! Our guide Shawn was great. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight into the country and this area. There are lots of options for tours and I’m so glad we went with the one going to rhe Aran Islands. YOU MUST go the horse drawn carriage ride on Ishineer island. They are given by locals who love on the island and the experience of learning from the locals is so important! Highly recommend for couples, families or even solo travelers.”

Lunch was a lovely place on the Fords. However the highlight was the sheep dog demo at joyce sheep dog farm was beyond anazing. Learned alot about the economics of sheep farming, the way of life, past and present. Small group made it so nice. Our guide was fantastic”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 101 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $90

Dublin to Connemara and Galway day trip: air-conditioned coach with Wi-Fi, Cong Quiet Man village, Glengowla mines, and a 2-hour Galway stop.

“I enjoyed the stop we made in Cong where The Quiet Man was filmed. Such a beautiful little town. Next time I will definitely do the 2 day tour because the stop in Galway was nice but just time for lunch and the a bit of shopping. The music in most pubs doesn't start until evening that that's what Galway is known for. All in all, it was a nice day trip away from Dublin for a bit.”
