Om den här aktiviteten
Lämna Galways busstation och bege dig norrut i lyxig buss genom County Galways landsbygd, i västra Irland. Första stoppet gör vi i närheten av staden Headford och besöker Ross Errilly-klostret, ett av Irlands bäst bevarade Fransiskanerkloster. Klostret kallas lokalt för Ross Abbey och den medeltida ruinen betraktas som ett nationellt monument, med det stämningsfulla klostret och de medeltida gravarna som bara väntar på att få utforskas.
Efter att ha strosat runt ruinen med guiden, kliver vi på bussen igen och åker den korta sträckan till byn Cong, där filmen Hans vilda fru spelades in med John Wayne. Efter ungefär 45 minuter på egen hand i filmstjärnornas spår genom byn, kan du strosa över till Cong Woods för att se 1000-talsslottet Ashford Castle. Alternativt kan du bara koppla av med en kopp kaffe (på egen bekostnad) vid Lough Corribs strand, Irlands största sjö.
Fortsätt till County Connemara och res runt Loch Na Fooey, en orörd glaciärsjö och blicka ut över regionens otroligt natursköna landskap. Hör berättelser om livet i Connemara från din guide och lär dig mer om anrika irländska traditioner och seder som fortfarande finns bevarade i det gaelisktalande Connemara.
Nästa stopp är Kylemore Abbey, ett majestätiskt Benediktinerkloster vid Kylemore-sjöns strand. Låt dig genomsyras av historia. Klostret sägs ha byggts som en romantisk gåva i slutet av 1800-talet och senare fungerat som en tillflyktsort för benediktinernunnor som flydde Belgien under första världskriget. Inträde till Kylemore Abbey är på egen bekostnad och väl inne har du två timmar på egen hand. Ät lunch (på egen bekostnad), promenera runt klostret eller kanske ta en titt på dess viktorianska muromgärdade trädgårdar.
På resan tillbaka till Galway passerar vi genom Inaghdalen, det spektakulära landskapet i Connemara och längs Maam Turks-bergen och tillbaka runt Lough Carrib. Du kommer tillbaka till Galway tidigt på kvällen.

Kylemore Abbey was great. Gardens are beautiful and rooms inside are well done and well presented. The Friary was a fascinating added bonus!

This excursion was not what I really expected. Most of the trip was sitting in the bus. The Kylemore Abbey was beautiful and it would have been nice to have a little more time. The last stop at the ruin was amazing and a highlight of the trip. I would hope that the drive through the Connemara would be more informational and we would have the ability to take more photos.

John did an amazing job sharing much of the Irish history while traveling down and back to Kylemore Abbey. The grounds are extremely impressive. I wish we could have seen more rooms inside the Abbey but loved walking in and around the gothic church. We couldn't go to Ross Friary due to flooding which was disappointing but understandable. John's commentary was a wonderful addition to this trip and I would recommend it highly due to the countryside you see as well.

We had a wonderful time. Although our bus broke down and we were delayed an hour our driver made sure we still saw everything we were suppose to. The driver also ensured that a few of us that had committments that evening made it on time. Kylemore Abbey is so beautiful and the Ross Errilly friary was very impressive. Our driver was knowledgeable and made the trip very entertaining. I have been on a number of Viator tours and they have all been great.

Michael, the tour guide and driver, cracked us up on the ride. very nice, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was one of the best i've taken so far. It took us to great locations for a period of time and got us to know the Irish culture more.

this was a very good tour. I thought,m however, that there would be more to see at the Abby, but there really isn't much inside of it. the grounds, however, were spectacular. Our tour guide, Big Mike, was very funny and informative. He gave us plenty of time to get done what we needed to.

Great Tour!! We saw all that we wanted to see. The only issue was that we needed more time at Kylemore Abby. Maybe less time in the town of Cong. Also more time at the Friary.

Mike I think his last initial was D? was hilarious, and provided us a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. He was full of stories, and could talk the whole time without getting boring or making me feel like he was droning on. The scenery was amazing. Mike gave us plenty of time at each place, and gave us really good suggestions and instructions for every stop. Honestly, I would have given the tour only a 4 if it weren't for our tour guide!
