Review of Galway Day Tours - Cliffs of Moher and Connamera

Editor's Pick Award

Our Editors awarded this review for providing relevant information that may be useful and inspiring for other travelers.

So I went to both locations and with the same group, as I was impressed with their value.

Cliffs of Moher:  This was a great day, long (over 8 hours) but completely worth the price of 20.00€.  The tour guide, Desmond, was very knowledgeable withthe area and knew quite a bit.  He was a bit difficult to understand at times, but that did not take away from his ability to communicate the information.  He did a lot of talking about the history of the area, and took us to 3 additional areas than the tour demanded, which was great.  I was so impressed with this tour, that I booked another tour with the same company.  This major tourist attraction was completely worth the visit.  I was so impressed with the cliffs, that I wish I could have stayed there all day and just relaxed.  We did have a great day, sunny, so I couldn't have asked for a better time.  I was happy I took this tour and with this company and would recommend it to anybody.

Connamera Tour:  This, too, was with the same guide, and although it too was good, the Ring of Kerry was much more impressive.  This tour took us through a lot of bog area, which is nice but can become very boring after awhile.  However, we did get to Kylemore Abbey, which is a beautifully restored castle (constructed by Henry Mitchell in 1871) by the Benedict sisters.  This is currently a tourist attraction and international bording school.  This sisters have done quite a bit to restore this location, the Victorian gardens have been restored, and are always being restored (as is most of the castle).  It is quite an undertaking.  This Abbey is beautiful and 2 hours on the grounds was easily spent touring them without time to do much else (hence visit the gift shop and restaurant).  There were some beautiful flowers at this location, of which I will only post one picture.  I was very impressed and would love to teach at this school so long as I didn't have to become a nun! 

Great time had and would do it again with this company as they gave us 2 hours at both major attractions, all of which was never wasted.
