Tour di un giorno del Connemara e della città di Galway da Dublino
Descrizione
Il Connemara è una regione selvaggia dell'Irlanda, duramente colpita durante la Grande carestia delle patate del 1847-1851. Si tratta di una terra arida ma che tuttavia conserva tutta la sua bellezza. Con favolosi laghi, romantici castelli, mura in pietra e valli desolate, il Connemara è comparso in numerosi film di successo come "Un uomo tranquillo" con John Wayne e Maureen O'Hara e "Un poliziotto da happy hour" con Brendan Gleeson. Durante il tour, non avrai solo modo di scoprire questa parte straordinaria dell'Irlanda, ma visiterai anche la città di Galway per una sosta di 2 ore. Avrai tutto il tempo per esplorare le attrazioni di questa splendida, tradizionale e vivace città tribale.

Itinerario
Partiamo da Dublino e facciamo la nostra strada verso ovest per un fantastico tour di un giorno al Connemara. Durante il nostro viaggio attraverso le midlands irlandesi faremo una sosta per rinfrescarci e una possibilità di allungare le gambe. All'arrivo a Connemara, visiteremo il pittoresco villaggio di Cong, questo è un vincitore nazionale di Tidy-Town e la location per il film hollywoodiano vincente agli Oscar - The Quiet Man.
Godetevi una sosta a Cong, Connemara. Questo villaggio tradizionale è stato la location del film Quiet Man, il classico di Hollywood con Maureen O'Hara e John Wayne. Immergetevi nell'atmosfera rurale e godetevi i negozi e l'aria fresca. Il tour visita Cong dal 1 novembre al 31 marzo e la domenica e il lunedì dal 1 aprile al 31 ottobre.
Da martedì a sabato tra il 1 aprile e il 31 ottobre il tour visiterà le storiche miniere d'argento e la show farm a Glengowla invece di Cong. Cong sarà ancora presente la domenica / lunedì quando Glengowla è chiuso.
Arriviamo a Galway, conosciuta come la città delle tribù e una volta dimora di Cristoforo Colombo. La città è la capitale tradizionale dell'Irlanda e sede di alcuni dei nostri migliori musicisti tradizionali. La nostra sosta di 2 ore ti consente di esplorare la città a tuo piacimento. Esplora punti salienti come l'Arco spagnolo, la Cattedrale di San Nicola, la colorata Shop Street o magari assaggia le famose ostriche della Galway Bay.
Il tour partirà da Galway alle 17.00 per tornare a Dublino alle 19:30 circa.
Goditi uno spettacolare viaggio su strada con vista sul paese di Joyce e sulle montagne del Connemara. Continuiamo il nostro viaggio attraverso la natura selvaggia del Connemara con il suo paesaggio unico, splendidi laghi, valli e paesaggi montuosi. Devastata dalla carestia e prevalentemente gaelica, la gente qui si sforza ancora di mantenere ciò che resta della cultura rurale e del tradizionale stile di vita irlandese. Torniamo a Galway attraverso la Deserted Maam Valley, un'area di bellezza paesaggistica e insuperabile con i laghi del Connemara che si aprono tra le dodici montagne Bens. Quindi viaggiamo indietro lungo la costa e la baia di Galway attraverso Spiddal e godiamo di magnifiche viste sulla costa atlantica fino a Galway e alle isole Aran.

he drivers had a miscommunication. One driver dropped us off at one location, and the other driver was supposed to collect us, but they didn’t because they forgot about us. We ended up waiting for hours. I was travelling solo, although I was with another tourist. As a result, I got home very late and missed my own bus back home. This was extremely inconvenient for me because I’m from Trim, and the promised arrival time in Dublin, which was 8 PM, was very important for me. I also felt that my safety was compromised by having to travel home so late, as it was already very dark. What was supposed to be a fun-filled day turned out to be a very disappointing experience because of the poor coordination and the inconvenience it caused. I hope you can take this matter seriously and ensure that this kind of situation does not happen to other customers in the future. But I am grateful for their manager Rory for going above and beyond for coming to collect us. I know he is supposed to spend his time with his family but he is so kind to save us. Thank you anyway.
Do not take this tour, very disappointing; the indicated itinerary was not respected. Moreover, we left with 6 people who were going to stay in Galway, so we returned with just two. In other words, we were put on a tour that was actually a means of transportation to take people to their hotel. We did not see Connemara; the driver went so fast with no stops, just road. We never saw Galway, a city with little interest; no restaurant or bar stops, just road. We visited a mine; bravo, I am claustrophobic, so I did not visit. Really, do not waste your money; do another activity.
This is a huge company with poor customer service. They never sent a reminder email for the tour but sent a reminder email the day before to leave a review. I tried to cancel and they would only give us a credit. This was not a tour. It was transportation to a destination. When we got to the pick up 15 minutes early they told us the wrong bus. We did not get a great seat even though we were early because there were so many buses and employees everyone was running around not really sure what was going on. In the middle of the tour two drivers decided to consolidate due to scheduling so a bunch of people from our bus had to get their luggage and switch. We were on the bus a long time and not a lot of time at our destination. The driver spoke fast. I am an american from the south and I had trouble understanding sometimes. Take the train and pick up a tour when you get there. I do admit the sheep farm was an amazing stop but overall would not choose again.
The ad is misleading. We only cross the connemara by car (with tinted glass) in an hour with a 5-minute stop by the road to take a photo when the title of the ad suggested that we could walk there and we stayed there for two hours. If the discovery of a farm and a mine was nice this was not the original purpose of the excursion. The ad should be renamed because it is clearly misleading.
Ou trip was rich in new impressions and insights into the west of the country. The farm visit felt genuinely healing and deeply wholesome. I’m especially grateful to our guide, Declan, for the warmth, good humour, and authentic Irish spirit he shared with us throughout the day. This tour is not the most obvious tourist choice, but it's very authentic.
Pleasant day of discovery, too bad that we can not stop to enjoy the landscapes. Our guide Duncan was perfect; kind, considerate, funny, with excellent knowledge of his visit.
Very long trip and too little time on points of interest. We spend 5 hours in the bus for less time on site.
Beautiful scenery, fast paced, great side stops. Wear good shoes, bring an umbrella. Bring water. The weather changes fast. Be prepared for anything. JJ was the best guide ever. Informative and knowledgeable. Funny. He took the extra time to show us the beautiful coast and mountains. Thank you.
The trip was mostly enjoyable if I'm honest , Jimmy was a great guide and lovely man , this helped . Galway was beautiful and we really enjoyed our time here . Would have liked longer than 1.5 hours tbh . Great visit to SHOP STREET , Eyre square , the bay area and the Spanish arch . Next was Connemara which if I'm honest was lots of driving with a couple of scenery stops . The highlight was the visit to Cong village , especially if you are a John Wayne fan ! Go and you will see what I mean!! A good trip but don't go if you travel sick . Thanks again Paddywagon
Dear gazg805, thank you for choosing Paddywagon Tours and for your review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your Connemara and Galway tour including Shop Street and Cong village. We look forward to welcoming you as our guest again sometime!
Extremely disappointing day. It was raining and mist ....but we would still have liked more photo stoppages .... if only for these landscapes that were still beautiful. Comments on the guide were very limited and even more so in the Connemara part. A short stop in Cong but shorter than stops at motorway services. In short, many hours of driving for very little profit!
