Our guide, Bryan, was very good! Definitely recommend doing the tour on your first day in Killarney to get a lay of the land and see the sights.
We had such a lovely tour with Paudie! It was my mom, my sister and myself (3 women) and we felt well taken care of the entire tour. We had many good laughs together as well. He is very personable as well as knowledgeable about Killarney and Irish culture and had many interesting tid bits to share with us the whole ride. He knows fluent Gaelic which was fun to hear and learn some common phrases. He made sure we were all very comfortable the entire trip. We couldn’t have asked for a more patient and understanding tour guide. Thanks Podge!!!
Hi M Sincere thank you for your great review. I’m so pleased ye enjoyed your Highlights of Killarney tour. There is so much to see and do in our great town. Slán go fóill. Warm Irish Regards to you all, Paudie
Paudie was a wonderful driver and guide. We had the best possible outing and enjoyed his company, knowledge and the entire experience.
Paudie was an exceptional tour guide!!! My family and I enjoyed every minute of the tour! He is extremely knowledgeable, very humorous, and funny. I highly tecrmmend this your. Thank you for a great experience!!
Eleanor has a very nice Ford van that is clean and spacious. She arrived early at our hotel and took us out on a great sightseeing tour. We saw the Muckross house and Abbey, the Ladies View, Torq falls and Ross Castle. We enjoyed the entire trip and would recommend this tour for a small group looking to see the highlights of Kerry County.
Paudie gave us an excellent overview of the must-see spots in Killarney ; his local knowledge and understanding of the National Park were just what we were looking for. He was polite and professional and went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. When the weather didn’t look good for our planned excursion, he proactively reached out to us to arrange a time with a better weather forecast. Thank you Paudie!
Hi M. Sincere thanks for your great review and rating which I very much appreciate. The Highlights of Killarney tour is the ideal way to get to the must see spots in the locality. I am delighted ye enjoyed it and it was great to get the better weather in the afternoon. Warm Irish Regards and thanks, Paudie.
Great experience!! Very knowledgeable and accomadating. Thank you for a lovely tour and we can’t wait to come back to Killarney again
Paudie was the perfect host, guide and driver. He is extremely knowledgeable and provided many interesting facts and answered all of our questions. My highest compliment would be that he knew the perfect blend of speaking and providing quiet. Other tours we have taken have had information overload without time to just take in the scenery. It is obvious he is well liked in the region as the hotel raved about him when we informed them of our guide, as well as many of the ticket takers along the journey. Everyone knew him and had huge smiles when they saw him. If the entire trip wasn’t enough to have us thoroughly convinced we had the best possible tour guide, Paudie was kind enough to post a forgotten cap on to our next hotel and it was waiting in the room. We give our highest recommendation to anyone who is looking to tour this area.
Hi J Thanks so much for your terrific review. I am delighted ye enjoyed your tour of West Clare and the Cliffs of Moher. No problem re your forgotten cap! These things happen on tour. Only delighted to post it on to you. Safe home and looking forward to seeing you both again. Warm Irish Regards Paudie
Paudie Murphy is an amazing guide, storyteller, and all around enjoyable guy. He gave us history, funny jokes, songs and safely drove us to all the sights we requested.
Hi T Sincere thanks for your great review, rating and recommendation. I appreciate you taking the time to write and submit this. I hope you have wonderful memories of your time in Ireland. Warm Irish Regards Paudie
