Must do for fans of The Quiet Man - First off I should make it clear that I am a big The Quiet Man fan. It's my favorite movie and has been for many years. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was the fulfillment of one of my bucket list items and I had an unstoppable grin on my face throughout the entire tour. Our guide (I believe his name was Jerry or Gerry) was entertaining and knowledgeable. You could tell from the beginning of the tour that he was a huge fan and loves the movie as much as the tour group. He involves everyone in the tour so there's a lot of laughter. If you are a fan of The Quiet Man then this is a must do tour. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Superb Tour - Everything about the tour was fantastic. Gerry, the Tour Guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, his stories were a delight, And it was great to be able to see the actual locations of the film in the flesh. It was a dream come true to be there.

Realizing the charm/magic of “The Quiet Man” - Rory our tour guide was awesome! We loved every minute. Far far better than we’d even imagined. We learned and laughed so much! What a wonderful day in the magical charming town of Cong.

Not a great movie but a pleasant location - This is very near Ashford Castle. Good for a photo opp and a drink in the pub. The little village is quite picturesque as is the ruined Abbey

It's OK - We could not wait to do the tour, as my wife is a huge fan of the film, but teh tour did not live up to expectations. The tour guide Jerry was fun and had stories but in the hour of his company we only were shown 4 places of interest. A few back stories about the cast and that was it. I know the tour is not a lot of money but we excepted more.
