Da sapere su questa attività
Parti dalla stazione dei pullman di Galway e dirigiti a nord a bordo di un pullman di lusso attraverso la campagna della contea di Galway, nella parte ovest dell'Irlanda. La prima tappa è prevista vicino a Headford, dove potrai visitare la Ross Errilly Friary, un antico monastero dei frati Francescani tra i meglio conservati in Irlanda. Conosciuta localmente come Ross Abbey, questa rovina medievale è considerata un monumento nazionale dell'Irlanda, con i suoi suggestivi chiostri e le tombe medievali che aspettano solo di essere esplorate.
Dopo aver passeggiato per le rovine con la guida, torna sul pullman per un breve viaggio verso il paesino di Cong, dove venne girato il film Un uomo tranquillo con John Wayne. Con circa 45 minuti di tempo libero disponibile qui, potrai ripercorrere i passi degli attori attraversando il paese, o passeggiare fino ai boschi di Cong per vedere il castello di Ashford, risalente all'XI secolo. In alternativa, rilassati con un caffè (a proprie spese) sulle rive del Lough Corrib, il lago più grande d'Irlanda.
Prosegui fino alla contea di Connemara viaggiando intorno a Loch Na Fooey, un lago glaciale incontaminato, e ammira lo splendido panorama della regione. Ascolta le storie sulla vita a Connemara, raccontate dalla guida, e scopri le antiche tradizioni e usanze irlandesi ancora oggi vive a Connemara, dove si parla la lingua gaelica.
La tappa successiva è l'abbazia di Kylemore, una maestosa abbazia benedettina sulle rive del lago Kylemore. Immersa nella storia, si dice che l'abbazia sia stata costruita nel tardo '800 come un regalo romantico e che poi fu utilizzata come rifugio per le suore benedettine, fuggite dal Belgio durante la Prima guerra mondiale. L'ingresso all'abbazia di Kylemore è a spese dei visitatori e all'interno si avranno due ore di tempo libero per la visita. Potrai pranzare (a tue spese), passeggiare all'interno dell'abbazia o dare un'occhiata ai giardini vittoriani circondati da mura.
Durante il viaggio di ritorno a Galway, attraverserai lo spettacolare panorama della Inagh Valley di Connemara e viaggerai tra le montagne Maumturks per tornare infine sulle rive del Lough Corrib. Il ritorno a Galway è previsto nelle prime ore della sera.

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!
