With fabulous lakes, romantic castles, stone walls, and deserted valleys, Connemara has been featured in many blockbuster movies such as The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, and The Guard with Brendan Gleeson.
Not only will you be introduced to this amazing part of Ireland during the during tour, but you will also visit Galway city for a 2-hour stop. There will be plenty of time to explore the highlights of this traditional, colorful, and beautiful tribal city.

We took the trip on a Sunday. On Sunday, the tour skips Connemara, but there was no mention of this in the information on the Paddywagon site. We were disappointed & may not have chosen this tour if we had known.

Je déconseille le cuicuit qui n'a pas été respecté, beaucoup d'heure de van sans pause dommage car il y avait des endroits magnifiques.
Si vous comté voir le lac du conemara avec son cicuit de randonnée ni songé pas, il y a juste un stop de 5 min pour voir le paysage entre le village de cong et Galway.
En ce qui concerne la ferme et la mine dommage qu'elle étais fermé et que nous ne sommes pas prévenu à l'avance
