5 Star Connemara Tour Reviews — 1 to 6 of 6

Stunning and ever-changing scenery, quaint towns, dramatic vistas, history at every turn, overall comfortable accommodations with nice breakfast.
Ride was quite challenging at times, especially Day 1, 38 miles up and down a hill and over a mountain.
I do wonder, as did another bike tour operator we spoke to,
1. why we started rather than ended in Cong - which seemed lovely in the 10 minutes we spent there at the launch of our ride - with an overnight there instead of beginning and ending in Galway
2. why we rode east to west, into the wind, on the most challenging portions of the trip (the other tour operator's route goes in the opposite direction, ending with an overnight in Cong)
3. why 2 nights in Clifden? I think Days 4 and 5 could be rerouted. Day 4 Clifden to Sky Road around peninsula to Roundstone; Day 5 Roundstone through bog to earlier ferry to Aran islands

This trip was amazing. Everything, from the accomodations to the luggage transfer worked perfectly. The routes were wonderful, especially the part between Westport and Leenane with the amazing mountains around us and the quietness while passing lakes and a Fjord made us love this beautiful country. Thank you for the wonderful trip!

Amazing riding with different terrain each day. Wonderful scenery. Bikes good. Company good. Food good. Guide very good. Best cycling trip I have been on and I have been on a few. Can't wait to go back to Ireland.

Highlights: The scenery. The guide. The route. Loved it.

The ferry to the Aran islands, over night in a surprisingly modern hotel with an excellent kitchen and the ride around the island was the culmination of a very pleasant and interesting 5 days of riding.

Our Connemara trip was a wonderful experience! This was our first bicycle trip outside of the US- I would highly recommend it. The guides were knowledgeable and attentive-the scenery was beautiful and the food was great! Don’t hesitate to sign up for this tour.
