The driver is included and pickup from your Galway accommodation is arranged; you choose the pace and the stops that matter to you.Is it for me?At four to five hours, this tour leaves your morning or afternoon free — book it early and you're back by lunchtime, or start after lunch and have the evening in Galway. The private vehicle means you set the stops and the pace instead of following a group schedule, which matters if Kylemore Abbey's gardens are what you came for, or if the Sky Road light is better at a certain hour.
