We had an amazing time with Derek as our private tour guide while staying in Ireland. We were so lucky that he had last minute availability and though it was a long day for us (taking the train from Dublin to Galway then immediately starting the tour), it was so beyond worth it. Connemara is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and as someone who has seen the cliffs of Moher and many other sites around Ireland before, and been to many other scenic spaces around America, Europe and Latin America, this was one of my favorite places in terms of beauty and intrigue. We opted out of the sheepdog part due to timing, but the wild Atlantic way, and the gorgeous views of lakes and ocean and mountains could not be beat. Kylemore is kind of just an added bonus, and it itself is beautiful. The real selling point is the gorgeous country and the incredible tour guide. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to make the most of time in Galway. We had 48 hours in the city total and it was a trip highlight to get to do this tour!! Thank you to Derek and to you as a potential customer- if you are on the fence or debating a big group tour for financial reasons, do this tour. We had an infinitely better time for choosing a private and authentic experience.
