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.

The trip through Connemara was pleasant but way too many random stops for smokers. Some smokers taking extra time to finish what they wanted to do so we were all delayed over and over. Not nearly enough time at Kylemore Abbey. Impossible to see everything and have lunch. The stop at Cong wasn’t long enough to even walk to the Abbey for most of the travelers. Again cut short by fellow passengers who were smoking outside the bus. More time at Kylemore Abbey is better choice. Our driver was boring and couldn’t finish a sentence. Disappointed!
Thank you for your feedback. While we are sorry that the tour did not meet your personal expectations, we would like to clarify several points raised in your review. The itinerary, including all scheduled stops and the time allocated at each location, is clearly outlined in our tour description on our website and on the third-party platforms through which the tour is sold. The tour was operated as advertised. Regarding the smoking stops, these are not additional stops created at the discretion of the driver. Passengers are given a specific time to return to the coach, which is clearly announced by the driver. If individual passengers choose to return late because they are smoking, that is unfortunately outside our control and should not be attributed to the driver or the company. Our drivers are responsible for operating the tour according to the published itinerary and cannot reasonably be expected to prevent individual passengers from making poor use of their allocated time. The same applies to the time available at Kylemore Abbey and Cong. Two hours at Kylemore Abbey is the advertised duration, and this is the amount of time provided to our guests. The vast majority of our customers find this sufficient to enjoy the main highlights. As the visit is self-guided, each guest is responsible for deciding how they wish to use that time. Our driver/guide provides recommendations, but cannot dictate which attractions an individual passenger chooses to visit. It is therefore important that guests review the tour description and itinerary before booking, particularly where the amount of time spent at specific attractions is an important consideration. A negative review based on expectations that differ from the published itinerary is somewhat unfair when the advertised service was delivered as described. With regard to our driver, our driver-guides are experienced professionals with extensive knowledge of Connemara and the surrounding areas. They are also tasked with safely navigating narrow and challenging Irish roads while managing a coach full of passengers and providing commentary throughout the journey. We are proud of the professionalism and knowledge of our team. We appreciate that commentary style is subjective and may not suit everyone, but describing a driver as “boring” is a matter of personal preference rather than an indication that the service provided was inadequate. We fully understand that different travellers prefer different types of tours. If you prefer to tailor the itinerary around your own interests, a private hire or private tour would be a much more suitable option. That format allows guests considerably more flexibility than a scheduled group tour. We respect your right to share your opinion, but we also believe it is important to distinguish between shortcomings in the service provided and personal preferences that differ from a clearly advertised itinerary. In this case, the tour operated according to the published schedule and inclusions. Kind regards, Tatiana
What an amazing tour! Connemara is breathtaking. The grounds at kylemore Abbey are truly beautiful. Wish I had a little more time at Cong. Our driver Francis (aka Paddy) was informative, witty and had gifted driving skills. A+++
The tour was amazing and everything we saw wqs great!! Our tour guide was very kind and had a lot of great information!!
I booked this not knowing exactly what we'd see but without a car, I wanted someone to take our group to see more of Ireland than just city sites. Boy was this an amazing find! Kylemore Abbey is stunning, and the gardens, walkways, church, and more on the grounds are spectacular. Even the restaurant was top notch! Cong is a cute little village that is nice to stroll or shop in, and Connemara is the entire region you'll traverse on the bus. Our guide was excellent, funny, extremely knowledgeable, and filled with Irish pride. This day was a highlight of our entire trip!
This was one of the highlights of my trip to Ireland. Connemara, Cong and Kylemore Abbey were all breathtaking, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our guide and chauffeur. He was a genuine local with an incredible knowledge of Irish history, culture and everyday life. He answered every question thoughtfully and spoke with honesty, humour and obvious pride in his country. One of the best moments of the day was something many guides probably wouldn’t think to do. Instead of keeping us on the bus, he let us walk through one of the most beautiful stretches of Connemara while he drove ahead and waited for us. That walk was pure magic. It felt like stepping into every dream and every film I had ever imagined about Ireland, with mountains, stone walls, sheep and endless green landscapes all around us. It gave us time to slow down and truly experience the place instead of just looking at it through a bus window. This wasn’t just sightseeing. It felt like an introduction to the real Ireland. If you’re deciding between tours, choose this one. It was unforgettable.
First of all: the weather was actually mediocre that day. Nevertheless, the tour was a lot of fun, which was mainly due to two things: the beauty of Connemara and the cheerful bus driver Mike. The abbey itself is a quite spectacular building on the edge of a lake. Above all, however, the nature surrounding it impressed us more lastingly, but everyone has to decide that for themselves. Afterwards, we went straight through Connemara, a truly great landscape that captivated us with its rugged beauty. Truly very impressive!
Nice tour with a nice guide! Got a lot of info along the way. Discounted tickets to Kylemore Abbey through the tour. Recommend! Nothing the company can really influence but very loud fellow travelers who disturbed and made it difficult to hear what the guide said during the bus ride. Even though the guide before asked everyone to keep a low tone and be respectful.
Truly amazing day traveling and touring with our guide, Francis. He was very engaging, humorous, and quite knowledgeable of the places we traveled through and to. Kylemore and Cong were delightful. Highly recommend, especially if Francis is your guidez
We did this tour and were very happy with the way the guide(Mike) handled everything. Was a true gentleman while still keeping slow pokes on track to keep our schedule flowing. Great tour, as we hoped. So many beautiful sites to see.
Well done. Patrick did a fairly great Job. He is a double gifted guy, perfect driver and entertaining history Buff. Carry on!
