If you want a great day trip to visit the major points around Galway then this is it. Zag was our driver and he was great. Detailed information and had us going to all of the places on time. Great personality with all of us. The places visited were just what we wanted to see and the timing was great. Highly recommend

Jerry was an excellent driver and a great trip
Mark_K, October 2026
Jerry was an excellent guide and story teller. We learned much about the origins of common sayings as well as the landmarks. His voice was so soothing I kept finding myself nodding off. Still a great day trip.

Booked directly on the Lally Tours website. Dealt with diligent and attentive staff, excellent communication and coordination throughout. The tour itself was very enjoyable and we had a great experience. A big shout out goes to our awesome driver/guide, John B, not only because of his ample knowledge of the landscape and history, but for his friendly, warm delivery and personality. He offered interesting background and insight all along, while highlighting and championing local initiatives as well as Ireland’s rich culture: music, gastronomy, literature and the like. It’s not easy to keep a coach full of folks interested and engaged, but he sure did!
