Excellent trip around the ring of Kerry

My husband and I had a lovely time. We knew this drive would be difficult so we booked this tour last minute and so glad we did! We were both able to enjoy the incredible views. Darron was an excellent guide and driver.

Definitely worth the full day! Smaller bus and awesome tour guide Batte

It’s a pretty long time in a bus but the frequent stops and our tour guide Batte made it very enjoyable . The Cliffs of Kerry are spectacular and about 6 other spots are all definitely worth seeing

Enjoyable and worthwhile

I had a wonderful experience on this bus tour with Darren. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to listen to, sharing interesting stories about Irish legends and history along the way. I especially appreciated that the tour was informative without ever feeling cheesy or overly scripted. The pace was very pleasant, with enough stops along the way to stretch your legs, take in the scenery, and have a break without feeling rushed. Darren created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that made the whole experience feel effortless.
