Dette 19. victorianske palæ ligger i Killarney National Park. Huset ligger tæt på bredden af Muckross Lake, en af Killarneys tre søer, berømt over hele verden for deres skønhed. Inden for parken er Muckross House den ideelle base, hvorfra man kan udforske dette landskab. Huset blev bygget til Henry Arthur Herbert og hans kone, Mary Balfour Herbert. Dette var faktisk det fjerde hus, som successive generationer af Herbert-familien havde beboet i Muckross over en periode på næsten to hundrede år. William Burn, den skotske arkitekt, var ansvarlig for dets design. Byggeriet blev påbegyndt i 1839 og stod færdigt i 1843. I løbet af 1850'erne foretog familien Herbert omfattende havearbejde som forberedelse til dronning Victorias besøg i 1861. Senere fortsatte Bourn Vincent-familien denne havetradition. De købte godset af Lord og Lady Ardilaun i begyndelsen af det tyvende århundrede. Det var på dette tidspunkt, at Sunken Garden, Rock Garden og Stream Garden blev udviklet.
Ross Castle ligger på kanten af Killarneys nedre sø og blev bygget af O'Donoghue Mór i det 15. århundrede. Slottet kom i hænderne på Brownes, som blev jarlerne fra Kenmare og ejede en stor del af de jorder, der nu er en del af Killarney National Park. Legenden siger, at O'Donoghue stadig eksisterer i en dyb dvale under vandet i Lough Leane. Den første morgen i maj hvert syvende år rejser han sig fra søen på sin pragtfulde hvide hest og kredser rundt om søen. Enhver, der får et glimt af ham, siges at være sikret held resten af livet. Den store sten ved indgangen til bugten er kendt som O'Donoghues fængsel. Ross Castle var den sidste højborg i Munster, der holdt ud mod Cromwell. Det blev til sidst taget af general Ludlow i 1652. Vi kan arrangere et krydstogt på Killarney-søerne i en time på The Lily of Killarney (ekstra omkostninger)
Torc Waterfall er et 20 meter højt, 110 meter langt kaskadevandfald dannet af Owengarriff-floden, da det dræner fra Devil's Punchbowl corrie-søen ved Mangerton Mountain. Vandfaldet, som ligger ved foden af Torc Mountain, i Killarney National Park, er 7,3 miles fra Killarney i Kerry, Irland.
Killarney National Park strækker sig over 10.000 hektar med sin uforglemmelige kombination af bjerge, søer, skov og vandfald. Killarney National Park inkorporerer søerne såvel som Muckross Estate, herunder Bourn Vincent Memorial Park, præsenteret for staten i 1932 som Irlands første nationalpark.

Since the tour was cancelled, we were upset. The cancellation was due to only two registrations. We travelled all the way from Canada to experience Ireland and now we have had 2 out of 3 pre booked tours cancelled due to low registrations. This is bad for the reputation of Irish tourism. We would not recommend that Viator continue with these tour companies. We have taken cooking classes in Italy and Laos when we were the only students but they served us anyway. While it may not be financially viable, losing money occasionally is necessary to sustain a good reputation.
Thank you for your one star rating on a tour you did not experience! Firstly, I would like to clarify that you were only booked with this company for one tour and not two as you mention. As part of the terms and conditions on all our tours stating clearly that tours maybe cancelled if insufficient numbers are booked. You did not mention that a text was sent to you at 5.30pm on the previous evening to advise you of a possible cancellation and offering you an option of joining two others tours. Although these other trips are more costly, you were given the opportunity to participate for the same rate. I am sorry you had had this experience but hopefully if you return to Killarney I will certainly arrange a tour at a discounted rate for you.
Highly recommend. Perfect amount of time. Beautiful sites and Darrin went out of his way to accommodate us. We had a wonderful day. Love the town of Killarney.
A bus with very tired shock absorbers with a driver/guide who thinks he is doing a rally. Very few stops to enjoy the beautiful landscapes or take pictures. Few comments during the visit. This is well below the other excursions we have made and is especially expensive for the Service rendered.
Please advise what date you are supposed to have joined this tour so that a further investigation can take place.
Very convenient trip that takes about 4 hours. The vehicle was good and our driver showed us all the key spots. We landed from Dublin around 11 and took this tour at 2pm same day
Thank you for making the time to post this up on trip advisor after your Killarney highlights tour. We very much appreciate you doing this and hope you enjoy the rest of your Irish holidays.
My friend and I booked a last-minute tour when we arrived in Killarney, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire trip! When we showed up at the tour office, we were told we were the only ones booked for that time slot. I jokingly said, “So it’s a private tour then?” and to our surprise, they genuinely did upgrade us to a private tour—no hesitation. Dareen was our driver and guide, but by the end of the tour, he felt more like an old friend showing us around his hometown than someone we’d just met. The original tour included Ross Castle, Torc Waterfall, and Muckross House, but since it was just the two of us, Dareen said we’d likely have some extra time and asked if we’d like to see a few bonus sights. Of course we said yes! At each stop, he gave us a bit of history or interesting info, then offered to take our photo—without us even having to ask. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had great memories and great pictures to remember them by. At Ross Castle, he waited patiently while we explored, and at Torc Waterfall, he actually hiked up with us, sharing insights about the plant life and how rainfall affects the waterfall. The whole time, we felt so well taken care of and genuinely enjoyed the conversations we had with him—everything from life in Killarney to Irish history and fun local trivia. One of the bonus stops he added was Ladies View, where he explained the story behind the name and how it connects to Muckross House. Again, he came with us to the top and snapped some more pictures for us with the gorgeous view behind us. After we toured Muckross House on our own, Dareen took us to one of his favorite spots on the property—a quiet little beach that’s not on the typical tourist path. There, he shared a bit about Ireland’s golden eagle population and how conservation efforts are underway to reintroduce another eagle species. From the beach, we could even see a tree in the distance where a nest had been spotted. On the drive back, he gave us great suggestions for where to eat, grab a pint, and continue enjoying Killarney. This tour was so much more than we expected. Dareen clearly loves his hometown and takes such pride in sharing it with others. We felt lucky to have had such a personal, meaningful experience. Highly, highly recommend!
What a super Headline and review up here on trip advisor we are very thankful to you for it. Darren was delighted that he played a small part in giving you some happy memories of your recent Irish holiday in Killarney. Now that you've discovered the delights of the Kingdom of Kerry , we look forward to welcoming you back to us in the not -too distant future possibly on another tour.
I booked this tour just one hour before it started, not expecting much on such short notice. When we arrived, we were told we were the only two people signed up. Instead of canceling or rescheduling, we were generously offered a private tour! That gesture alone speaks volumes about how accommodating and professional this family owned tour company is. From the start, our guide, Darren made us feel completely safe and cared for. He was kind, funny, and such a great conversationalist! It felt like spending the day with an old friend. His love and passion for Killarney is obvious and made us fall even more in love with this wonderful town. He filled our tour with fun facts and historical insights. He even took us to a few of his own favorite secret spots off the beaten path. Everything aboutbthe day felt deeply personal and incredibly special. This wasn’t just a tour, it was a heartfelt, one-of-a-kind experience. If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Killarney, do not miss an adventure with Deros Coach Tours. It's the kind of experience that reminds you why travel matters... connection, authenticity, and unforgettable memories.
What a sparkling review Christy and thank you most sincerely for taking the time to write it and post it up on trip advisor - we genuinely do appreciate it. Darren was thrilled to read your very detailed review and very kind words. To merely say thank you for such a glowing review seems insufficient . However THANK YOU . We hope and trust that the rest of your Irish adventure went off just as well.
A wonderful small family owned company in Killarny. We had a great tour with our driver Donie. Great stories Great laughs and a fabulous recommendation for dinner... Cronins
