Galway
Connemara day trips from Galway all chase the same loop, so I’ve picked the ones that do it justice. Expect Kylemore Abbey, a stop at Killary Fjord and long stretches of bog and mountain between them. The abbey began as a Victorian castle, and its walled garden alone justifies the coach time.
Discover Connemara, Kylemore Abbey, and Cong on this full-day Galway tour. Experience stunning scenery, charming villages, and fascinating history—all for just $45.
