Patrick was the best guide ever. So friendly, so informative and made the whole tour such an enjoyable experience. Each person was able to choose between the Connemara national park or Kylemore Abbey for our final destination. I chose the national park and the view at the peak was AMAZING. I was able to hike the upper diamond loop in 2 hrs (round trip) and had time to do the short Ellie Trail too. When we went to pick up the Kylemore Abbey people, I was able to take photos of the Abbey from the outside as well. 10/10 would recommend.

The day trip through Connemara to Kylemore Abbey was delightful. We were on a smaller bus so we had many more options on the drive. The guide kept us entertained with his informative monologue along the drive and stopped along the way for photo opportunities, which I did not expect. He answered everyone's questions as we went and gave us inside information on how to best navigate seeing the Abbey, the Gardens and the Church in the time allowed! Definitely an excellent value!

Connemara & Kylemore Abbey Day Tour - The bus tour followed a scenic route with much to see. Frequent stops for photo ops were well placed and appreciated. The driver was well informed, friendly and able to answer a myriad of questions. The abbey and grounds were stunning and well kept up. Definitely worth seeing. However, the tour started late when the bus was found to have a flat tire. We arrived early to get good sets, which was not honored when we had to change buses, so people who arrived late got the better seats. We were not informed ahead of time that the stop at the tea shop was closed and missed out on this opportunity. And the driver "forgot" his credit card machine, so we had to exchange currency on the fly (and at higher expense to us) in order to purchase tickets for the abbey.
