Fantastic tour! Our guide Kris was a wonderful host pointing out all the beautiful highlights of the Ring of Kerry. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Joan! I’m really happy you enjoyed your Ring of Kerry experience. I truly appreciate it
We had a wonderful day with our guide Peter who was very knowledgeable and interesting. He was very flexible and allowed us to choose which sites and activities to take in. Highlights were the sheep dog demonstration (don’t miss this), the Kerry Cliffs and Skellig chocolate shop. I highly recommend taking this tour.
Hi Jaime, thanks so much for your lovely review! I’m really glad you both enjoyed the private tour and the day around Kerry. It was a pleasure having you on the tour — hope to see you back in Ireland someday!
