We left a bag at the airport by mistake. Calem really impressed us by really going out of his way to help us out. The ride down was amazing

A safe and comfortable trip.We found it a little difficult finding the bus as there was nobody outside the airport to guide us and were sent to different directions. It would have been go if there was a clear sign on bus to where it was going,it only had a number, instead of specifying eg Galway,non stop. We needed to ask around to make sure we were getting correct bus.
