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.

1/2 day private tour - fantastic - Connamera Chauffers were top notch! We did the private tour (two couples) and had a wonderful guide. Picked up right at our Hotel. Highlight for us was the working sheepdog farm and the fjord inside Connamera. Rex the dog and his owner were something to behold as we got to see them both in action herding sheep! 👍🍀👍🍀

Great day trip - Sean was an amazing guide for me and my family as well as very patient with us as we explored all around various towns in the County Galway countryside. Great value for up to 8 hours of touring in a van that can fit even larger families. The van was brand new with great working WiFi and plenty of A/C in the hot Irish summer. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to get away from the tours and crowded towns and see some of Ireland that you definitely cannot see on your own or on a tour bus. We will definitely be back and when we do, we will be giving them a call!

Connemara Express Tour - Sean was a phenomenal tour guide and extremely safe driver; his vehicle was new and meticulous. We only had a few short hours, yet Sean offered suggestions of additional sites to visit that not only enhanced our tour, but really made our trip with Sean the highlight of our Ireland adventure. Sean was easy to communicate with and knowledgeable. Kudos to Sean for a memorable visit to Connemara! Sean will be our go to for future visits to Connemara.
