Connemara

Connemara is a wild land where the sea meets mountains or turns into treacherous bog, and is often considered the most beautiful region in all of Ireland. Come here to find the last Gaelic speaking communities, wild viking horses, the Twelve Bens, and deserted islands.

The itinerary was fast-paced but enjoyable. Deanne gently woke us up whenever we approached views and sites on the road that had historical significance or legendary stories. The coach was comfortable, and we felt safe with Garry's smooth driving and masterful parking skills. He made us feel special by making sure the coach is clean inside and out every morning. Some of the hotel choices could be better, but we totally understand - especially when Deanne explained the amenities included. We appreciate her frankness so there were no unpleasant surprises.

Should know by looking but it is a rushed itinerary. The places are great but not enough time. The optionals are all worth it. Some of the hotels do not have air conditioning. Don’t go in the summer months!

Amazing itinerary over all. The last dinner we had before departure could have been a bit more accommodating with food and air conditioning but we were told the staff were still in training there.
