Loved localised and personalised bus narrative
A great day trip to Connemara National Park and some additional stops. Our guide Sheamus was very entertaining and informative. The stop at the national park is a bit too short to reach the summit of the mountain, but there are already beautiful views before that.
Gerry was an excellent guide. The park itself was wonderful and worth doing the Yellow trail (medium) with enough time to get some food. The other stops along the way were all very enjoyable to see and to photograph. But, something else happened. The day after the tour, I discovered my high-end binoculars was missing. I waited until their business hours to call. A lady staff answered and patiently noted the details. She was able to find my reservation and locate the bus. In less than an hour they had located the equipment and I was able to collect it from their Eire Sq office soon after that. Kudos to the Lally team for being sensitive and efficient. ***** excellence!
I had a great day trip from Galway to Connemara National Park and Diamond Hill Full Day Tour with Lally Tours. It was a fun experience and comfortable tour, the guide and bus driver Seamus is very friendly, informative and considerate. I highly recommend the tour if anyone is visiting Galway.
Eoin was great and had thorough knowledge of the whole countryside, stories of growing up and plenty of jokes to ride along to. Not a boring tour and got to see/experience plenty.
Seamus did a great job. He is funny and I enjoyed listening to him. One more hour for the hike would have been great. You get 2 hours in the national park but the full hike also takes 2 hours. We didn’t want to risk to climb to the top and miss the bus. The last two stops of the tour weren’t necessary for me. All in all it was a good experience!
Very skilled and friendly Sorcha, the driver.
We very much enjoyed our day trip to Connemara National Park. Sorcha was a terrific guide, sharing useful and fun information throughout the journey. We’d recommend her for any future tours.
A great day trip from Galway! Our tour guide, Sean, was knowledgeable and laid back and offered lots of history and tips to help us enjoy our Galway stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!
We had a delightful tour to Connemara with Lally Tour and were so lucky to have Seamus as our driver a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and also so funny and warm. Highly recommend Lally Tours and you’d be lucky to have Seamus as a guide!
