What a fantastic day we had today! Peter was a wonderful tour guide! We were originally a little unsure about the expense of this tour, but we are very glad we took the plunge! Firstly, this is a private tour and you're in a van. This smaller vehicle allows access to places the big tour busses just can't get to. Additionally, you're not stuck with 80-100 of your "closest friends!" 😉 Peter, will tailor your trip to see the sights you really wish to see, so you don't have to spend hours doing/seeing stuff you really didn't want to do/see. One last thing- the Kerry Cliffs are a must see destination. Check any tour that you're considering carefully. They don't all go there! Don't let the price scare you off, this tour is well worth every penny!
Thank You Andrew for that day. It was my pleasure to spend that day with You. We all have learnt something. Thank You once again. Kind regards Peter.
Excellent tour. Peter was very knowledgeable. Beautiful sites all along the way.
Hello Teresa. Thank You for Very Nice company. You have made my day. Thanks a million!
From the time Richard picked us up at our hotel we felt like we were traveling with a friend. He customized our trip around the things we wanted to see during the day. We went to places that the tour buses could not go, making the crowds non existent. I would highly recommend booking with Peter.

Piotr was an amazing guide. He took time to explain what we were seeing, offered to take us to any place we may want to add to our tour (we didn’t have any), and had great suggestions. A once in a lifetime adventure enhanced thanks to him.
Hello Larry. Nice , I am so glad that You had a good time that day. I had great day with You as well. Thank You Larry, I hope to see You again. Regarding Peter.
We had a great tour with Kevin as our guide! We saw incredible sites and were taken to a local place to eat lunch. Kevin was very knowledgeable and open to customizing our stops along the tour. We loved that our guide was born and raised in the area and was able to give us his insights and what he loves most about the Ring of Kerry. Highly recommend!
Thanks, Kevin is great guide. I am so happy that all of You had a great day. Thanks a million. Regarding Peter Stanley.
We’d sign up for this tour again in a heartbeat! Our guide was very knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to spend the day with on the Ring of Kerry.
thank You for this review. We are so glad that we could organise that tour for You. Thanks a million. Kind Regards Peter Stanley.
If I had only one day in Ireland, this tour with Peter might be how I’d spend it. The landscape itself took our breaths away, as did the wild life we encountered. Peter is kind, patient, and so full of local and historical knowledge. He adapts the tour on the go according to your interests, and stop after stop he nailed it.
Hello Rachel. Thanks You that day was great. I just did my job which I love. Spending time with people like You makes me delighted. Thank You Rachel.
