Overview

With pick up included from your hotel, hop on board as we travel west into the scenic region of Connemara, famed for its wild and rugged land and seascapes. Our first castle visit is to Aughnanure Castle. Built by the O’Flahertys in 1500, this castle is a particularly well-preserved example of an Irish tower house. Next stop in the quaint village of Oughterard for a short coffee break. Weaving our way through scenic Connemara, our next castle stop is Kylemore Abbey, founded by English industrialist Mitchell Henry and now a Benedictine monastery. Spend the next few hours exploring this romantic abbey, its victorian walled gardens and Gothic church. We head to the capital of Connemara, the colourful town of Clifden. En-route (weather permitting) we drive the famous Sky Road. Travel onto to Ballynahinch Castle and take a short break to explore the castle and estate grounds including the walled garden before returning to Galway City.

Glad I booked this tour. Each stop was fascinating and photo worthy. Tony was a great guide, providing lots of historical information, humor, and conversation. An excellent day!

We were delighted our guide and driver Patrick Larkin. No matter how beautiful the scenery or how mixed the weather, enjoyment comes from the way you are treated. Patrick was a great host, friendly and ready to accommodate our whims. Of the tour itself, it was well balanced. I loved the medieval castle of Auganure. It is the most complete example of a medieval Irish native fortified home thanks to its inaccessibility to cannon guns of the invaders. Kylemore is the best example of the Victorian Landlord's home but it is sweeter than most not only for its exquisites
