This tour is a must! - This tour is an absolute must! Ulla is absolutely spectacular. She is the kindest, most caring, most informative tour guide you’ll ever find! We spent nine hours with her! We saw so much! The views are spectacular. The sites unforgettable. Ulla takes you to the “off the beat and path” locations and you feel like a local! She really caters to what you are looking for. I really wanted to take a plunge into the Atlantic and we stopped at a beautiful beach and I took the plunge. It was wonderful. The Kylemore Abbey is part of this trip and it is breathtaking. You’ll really enjoy it. We can’t say enough great things about this tour and Ulla. We feel like we found a new friend for life!

Great Tour of the Area and Kylemoor Abbey - Ulla was our guide and she was terrific. Had tons of information and was fun We loved visiting the Connemara as it is beautiful, the Kylemoor Abbey was terrific as we toured the House, the Abbey and then the restaurant/bar and enjoyed a beverage in the bar area. Beautiful. People were fantastic; grounds are beautiful and you have to tour the gardens as they are set up in sections and amazing. Wished we would have had more time as our guide was willing to show us more but we had another commitment Definately recommend this tour

Magical - Our tour through the beautiful Connemara, Kylemore Abbey and Doolough Valley was amazing. Ulla is a great guide. She's knows the area and its history so well and her enthusiasm is infectious. My advice for those of you thinking about booking: DO IT. Plan your time in Galway around her availability. You won't regret it.

Full day tour of Connemara - Ulla was a great guide (and driver) for this tour. She knew exactly where to go and was full of interesting information. She went the "extra mile" (or kilometer) for us, and we really enjoyed our day with her.

Perfect Day! - The whole day was amazing. From the moment Ulla picked us up, and listened to what we like to do and see, it was a perfect day. She has an incredible knowledge of the area. You know she truly loves what she does. She knew all the best spots to show us. Driving thru Connemara is breathtaking. Kylemore Abbey is a beautiful place to visit, we had an amazing lunch there in the cafe. Doolough Valley is awe inspiring. The drive back, she took us along the Wild Atlantic coast, it was the perfect ending to a perfect day .

Amazing and Wonderful. Highlight of our trip. - My son and I had a free day while in Galway looking at the University and found Ulla on TripAdvisor. Ulla was an amazing guide. She is genuine, caring and a lovely person showing you the most beautiful areas of Connemara and all the hidden gems. We were able to customize the day based on our interest and timing, including a relaxing walk on the beach with our feet in the Atlantic. It was beautiful! The day was ours to explore for as long as we wanted. Her car is spacious and comfortable. She packed snacks and water if we needed anything. Her personal touch made the day unforgettable. We would absolutely use her services again and recommend her to all who wish to have a wonderful day exploring. Thank you Ulla!!
