Last week my boyfriend and I were due to kayak around Mannin Bay. On the way there, we had a misshap with google maps and ended up getting lost which meant we would be a few minutes late. Firstly we contacted the number provided, where we were told we needed to get their “fast”. A few minutes later we received a call to say that they had left without us, It was unfortunate that we were late however the ladies we were dealing with were extremely rude and there was no reasoning with them whatsoever. I asked if it was possible that we slip into another group that day or get our money back, however I was greeted with total ignorance and no understanding whatsoever. This was also very expensive and a lot of money to lose. I have many friends travelling the wild Atlantic way this summer and will be advising them to steer clear of Connemara wild escapes.

Well I am like most of the others in recent reviews as I have not yet gone on my trip. I want to emphasize how marvelous Ciara was when I had to cancel and I have now rebooked the 11 day driftwood tour September 7. Would love to hear from anyone else booking that tour. One of the reasons I rebooked was the low deposit as even though did get my deposit back with no trouble last year I was uncomfortable at my age and who knows what’s gonna happen with Covid putting a large deposit down again. Marvelous communication and service and I’m sure my tour will be marvelous and I can write a great review when I have been
