Full description

Explore the ruins of Cong Abbey and take in the stunning views of the surrounding lakes. There are some local cafés that would be perfect for lunch!

Loved Cong

Supposed to have 1 1/2 hours in Cong, but cut back to an hour. Just not enough time there. The stop in Connemara was great...so beautiful. Galway would have been better if we could have gotten through the Joyce roundabout. As it was, it took ONE HOUR to through the roundabout and time to get the bus parked. Very long bus ride for about 3 hours of touring time. Even so, glad we took the tour and thankful it was a beautiful day.

names were not on the list for this tour

This activity was on Paddywagon Tours. They did not have our names on their passenger list for this tour. We were kicked off this tour and they were working to try to get us onto another tour. We waited another hour and they were finally able to get us onto another tour.

Great day out !!!!!

I had a great time, lovely being able to chill in Galway city & take in the sights. Then the bus journey to Cong was great, done a few stops along away to take some beautiful pictures & then we stopped in Cong for an hour which was beautiful. Our tour guide was great crack from start to finish & was full of information anywhere we went regarding the history of each place. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Ireland ☺️
