Excellent, all encompassing tour especially for those who don't have much time. The tour guide was absolutely wonderful, I believe his name was Mike O Malley. He gave a good recount of the history but also made it an entertaining and pleasant ride with his humor and kindness.

I enjoyed this tour very much. The bus driver was very fun. The scenery in connemare was amazing but the weather did not corporate, it was raining and dark. Also, it'd be good if we were given more time.

MIchael, the tour guide, was fantastic. He was funny and had something fun to say most of the trip. The only draw back was that it was very rainy and we were on the bus for of the trip than I would have wanted. Overall though it's definitely worth the money.
