A perfect day! - The tour was really great, made with a rather little bus which was perfect. All the stops made along the way to Kylemore were beautiful points of view, while the stories and historical facts that our driver/guide Michael has told us were very interesting.

Beautiful Mountains and Lakes - Mike was a great guide and I’m so glad we booked this trip! We learned a lot of things about Ireland that we wouldn’t have known and seen areas we wouldn’t have seen as the roads are narrow. What a beautiful area of Ireland that many do not see! I especially enjoyed the Gardens of Kylemore and the lake in front of it. I would have spent more time wandering around the lake as it was so peaceful.
