About

To see hidden Ireland and go off the main tourist tracks this tour is a must. A truly magical day out in typical Irish countryside- let us bring it to life and inform you of the many legends from killer sheep to lake monsters.

The first stop is at Ross Errily Friary, a hidden but atmospheric 14th-century monastery before entering Cong Village. This is where you have time to explore Cong Woods or stroll around the village famous for being the location for the 1950s classic movie, ‘The Quiet Man’- or simply have a coffee while feeding the ducks on the edge of Lough Corrib- the largest lake in the Republic of Ireland.

Entering Connemara on the Lough Nafooey route allows you to see the stark beauty of the hidden valleys of Connemara. Killary Fjord and the village of Leenane make for a beautiful photoshop. The tour then continues to Kylemore Abbey where we break for lunch and sightseeing for 2 Hours.

Entrance into Kylemore Abbey & Gardens is not included in the tour price and is an optional fee, (discounted entrance ticket can be purchased of your driver on a day of your tour). Leaving Kylemore late afternoon we drive through the Inagh Valley, Maam Cross & Oughterard and complete the circuit of Lough Corrib before arriving home to Galway City.
