Itinerário
A Abadia de Kylemore, um belo castelo de Connemara, oferece muita história de romance e tragédia, capturando visitantes que entram em seu limiar. A Abadia é um belo edifício neogótico construído em 1868 por Mitchell Henry para sua esposa. Agora é o lar das freiras beneditinas, e aqui você pode desfrutar de sua excelente cozinha caseira enquanto visita a Abadia e os jardins restaurados. Os terrenos e as montanhas e lagos circundantes estão cheios de rica história irlandesa, e você pode aprender tudo sobre isso em nosso Connemara & Cong Tour. A Abadia e a propriedade estão abertas durante todo o ano e incluem a Abadia, uma Igreja Gótica, os jardins murados, uma loja de artesanato, estúdio de cerâmica, restaurante e salas de chá, bem como o lago e caminhadas florestais.
Lough Corrib é o maior lago da República da Irlanda e o segundo maior na ilha da Irlanda (após Lough Neagh). (Cobre 176 km2)
Killary Harbour é o único fiorde verdadeiro da Irlanda e se estende a 16 km (10 milhas) do Atlântico.É extremamente profundo, mais de 45m em seu centro. Isso oferece um ancoramento muito seguro e protegido, devido à profundidade e montanhas para o sul e norte. É um centro para a criação de crustáceos, e cordas de cordas usadas para cultivar mofos são visíveis por grande parte de seu comprimento.
Apenas uma hora de carro de Westport, Cong é uma pequena aldeia no sul de Mayo famosa por sua abadia do século XII, a luxuosa Cruz processional de ouro e prata de Cong de 1123, o magnífico Castelo de Ashford, os laços da aldeia com Oscar Wilde e, mais popularmente, sua associação com o filme clássico de John Wayne, The Quiet Man.

Mike, the tour guide is highly seasoned and knowledgeable about the region. His steady commentary, sense of humor, and ability to read his audience well is an example of how all tour guides should operate. The sites: the Abbey and walled gardens, the different loughs and the only salt water Killary fjord were memorable despite the off-and-on rains and overall a great experience for a day trip. The Cong village felt mostly shut down on the Sunday afternoon, and the bar tender at Danagher's Bar was a little strange, he charge us 15.40 for one pint of Guinness and a little bottle of orange juice and refused to give me an itemized receipt. Were we paying for someone else's drinks? I wonder...
The driver was great and knowledgeable
Beautiful landscape and friendly driver BUT BEWARE, the company FORCES us to visit the abbey through a ticket system distributed by the driver (14€ extra per person). This is dishonest and should be specified before purchasing the ticket for the excursion. I request a refund for my ticket.
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the scenery and found your driver friendly. We would like to clarify that admission to Kylemore Abbey is entirely optional. The entrance fee is clearly stated on our website before booking, and customers are free to decide on the day whether they wish to purchase a ticket. Many guests choose not to visit the abbey itself and instead spend their time enjoying the Victorian Walled Garden, restaurant, café, gift shop, or simply taking in the beautiful scenery. The driver simply offers tickets as a convenience for those who wish to enter the abbey. There is no obligation to purchase one, and no hidden or mandatory charge. We encourage all guests to carefully read the tour description and all information provided on our website or the third-party website before booking, as it contains important details about what is and is not included in the tour. Kind regards, Tatiana
Great travel experience and our driver, Paul, was informative and engaging. Our only disappointment was the lunch venue. Too much time spent at Kylemore Abby for those not interested in paying 28 Euros extra to see gardens and inside the small amount of rooms open to the publi . and our only lunch option. Much better to shave some of that time off for Cong, our next stop, and allow people, like us , to choose a cheape, and quieter , lunch there.
Thank you so much for travelling with us, and for your 5 star review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day overall and that Paul made the journey informative and engaging. Regarding Kylemore Abbey, we'd like to clarify a few points for future readers. The itinerary, including the length of the stop at Kylemore Abbey, is clearly outlined in the tour description before booking. The admission to the Abbey is entirely optional and currently costs €14 per person, not €28. For those who choose to enter, the ticket includes access to the beautifully restored Victorian Walled Gardens, the Abbey's restored period rooms and furnishings, the Neo-Gothic Church, woodland and lakeside walks, exhibitions, the shuttle bus service to and from the Victorian Walled Gardens, and the wider estate. Many guests find this to be one of the highlights of the day and excellent value for the experience. For guests who decide not to enter, there is still the café/restaurant, gift shop, and surrounding grounds to enjoy during the stop. As Kylemore Abbey is one of Connemara's premier attractions, we allocate sufficient time for those wishing to experience everything included with their admission. While we appreciate that you would have preferred more time in Cong, the tour operates according to the published itinerary, which is available to all guests before booking, allowing everyone to decide whether it matches their interests and expectations. We wish you the best of luck on your future travels. Kind regards, Tatiana
This time our destination was Connemara and Kylemore Abbey. The day was beautiful, thanks in no small part to our absolutely safe and competent driver, who navigated the smallest roads and gave us many insights. A wonderful day. Thank you.
Mike the driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The scenery was stunning. It was a well organized tour and reasonably priced. .
The tour leads to the discovery of wonderful corners of Connemara. Absolutely recommended, even with children!
A very comfortable ride and an outstanding, funny driver
We actually did two tours through this company, Cliff of Mohr & Connamara, Kylemore Abbey, and Cong. Cliffs - our guide, Gary was the perfect balance of knowledgeable and fun. Great recommendations for food in the area, was very timely and kind, constantly checking in to make sure everybody was still doing well. Mike, who both picked us up from our hotel and took us to Connemara (and others) - was a hoot, a total character. He played with everybody, seems very authentic and made it a great time. I know the cliffs are the main attraction in this area, but I have to say if you have the opportunity, the other excursion is well well worth it. It was the highlight of our entire nine day trip to Ireland across multiple counties and regions. It’s a completely different kind of beauty than the cliffs, a lot of historical information and a real treat.
Beautiful scenery. I’d you are lucky, you will get Mike as your tour guide. We did this same tour 3 years ago and were excited to see Mike was still with the company!
