Connemara and Galway City Day Tour from Dublin
Overview
Connemara is truly the wilderness of Ireland, ravaged during the great potato famine of 1847-1851. This landscape was left barren; however, its true beauty remains intact.
With fabulous lakes, romantic castles, stone walls, and deserted valleys, Connemara has been featured in many blockbuster movies such as The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, and The Guard with Brendan Gleeson.
Not only will you be introduced to this amazing part of Ireland during the during tour, but you will also visit Galway city for a 2-hour stop. There will be plenty of time to explore the highlights of this traditional, colorful, and beautiful tribal city.
