Hugo worked hard to make... - Hugo worked hard to make this experience everything that we hoped for. He made adjustments due to weather conditions. My brother and I enjoyed our day.

A truly special experience! - This was a phenomenal experience. So personal, so interesting and so delightful! Our tour guide, Patrick Curran, was wonderful. As a native of Galway, he was able to share so many details and stories of the area and he had a fun sense of humor. As Patrick noted, we started the tour as customers and ended the tour as friends. God Bless him!

Galway, Connemara, Sheep, and Kylemore Abbey - First and foremost, we LOVED our driver John from Connemara Chauffeurs. He gave us great suggestions on sites to visit, including Galway Cathedral and an off the beaten path sheepdog experience, Killary Sheep Farm. He also squeezed in other memorable scenic stops. 5 stars +++

Connemara private day tour - My 2 friends and I went on a private Connemara day tour w Hugo. It was by far the highlight of our trip. He was so funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The sheep dog demonstration and so was the scenery. We got to choose our own adventure based on suggestions. I would highly recommend booking without any hesitation.

Enjoyable - We enjoyed the Sheep Dog exhibition, the Kilemore Abby and the scenic drives through the fjord and Skye Road. D.C. was a great guide and provided us with helpful information and accommodated our requests. He as even nice enough to give us some tips for the rest of our stay!

Solid day with a couple of bumps - This was a nice trip for the most part. The tour guide was awesome and informative along the way. Unfortunately, the trip was marred by terrible weather which, of course, is no one's fault. There was one stop on this route that was disappointing and that was the Kylemore Abbey. It sure looked amazing from the outside but due to the overwhelming number of tour buses, there were lines after lines. Long story short, big time tourist trap. The border collie demonstration was pretty cool and the kids loved playing with the 2 month old puppies.
