Our Reviews

Don’t just take our word for it! Read what our guests have to say about travelling in Ireland with Connemara Adventure Tours.

Frank

 

“What a wonderful time we had! Honestly, I went in with low expectations. Friends and family who had traveled to Ireland before told me the food was poor, the accommodations were just “okay,” and that most of the experience centered around bars and castles. One even said, “You don’t go to Ireland for the scenery, you go for the pubs.”
Well, that was not my experience at all. Connemara Adventure Tours provided us with a trip to remember!”

Lisa

“My husband and I (both active people in early 60’s) just completed a custom cycling tour through Connemara Adventure Tours and it was the trip of a lifetime. Roxane and Irmi worked with us to make a route and itinerary that perfectly suited our needs and created a magical trip that we will always remember.”

“Thank you, an exceptional experience, attentive to what we were looking for, perfect advice, a cycling route with superb scenery, a truly excellent app with a route map and must-see points.
Don't hesitate, they're great. Excellent responsiveness to any questions or problems.
Thank you for this magnificent trip.”

Patrizia

“Excellent experience with Connemara Adventure. We spent a week cycling in Connemara, almost always by the sea. The stages are well planned, not too far from each other. The accommodations are very good, always a warm welcome. The logistics were top notch. And we had the opportunity to meet two of the agency members who are very friendly. In short, we absolutely recommend it, you will not be disappointed.”

Delphine

“The landscapes are simply sublime: shimmering lakes, rolling hills, peaceful little roads where only the sound of tires and wind accompanies the ride. We let ourselves be lulled by the gentle rhythm of the bike, between a moment of serenity and a breath of fresh air.
A big thank you to the entire team for these moments of relaxation, nature, and discovery. We leave feeling rested... and already a little nostalgic.”

Irma

"The hiking routes led through fascinating landscapes, and in the evening we were rewarded with inviting hotels. We were always given a warm welcome, and the food and rooms were excellent. The Connemara Adventure team was extremely friendly and always approachable. This trip is highly recommended. Thank you for this special trip!”

“An exceptionally energetic, dedicated, and competent tour operator. Based directly in Connemara, with multilingual staff. Always available, helpful, and full of great ideas when it comes to discovering the country and its people off the beaten track. My personal highlight was the visit to the Lough Mask distillery. I will definitely use this operator again on my next visit to Ireland.”

Roberto

“We had a wonderful trip with Connemara Adventure Tours.  We have done other bike tours and this numbers among the best.  The fact that it is all local people shows in the information shared, the amazing routes, and the prompt responses.  I would do it all again!”

Elke

“We had a wonderful time. The nature and many encounters were deeply touching, at least for us. In many places, you can feel the connection between people and nature. The accommodations were lovingly selected, and the rooms were comfortable with fantastic beds. The program was wonderfully varied. If you're looking for solitude, you can still find it here. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Irmi.”
