Four adults travelling throughout Ireland scheduled a private tour of Dingle Peninsula. Our driver, Peter, was very knowledgable and accommodating. Before and during the tour, he provided ideas and support for the places we wanted to see. Unfortunately, we had very poor weather the day of the tour, so there were many vistas that were just not possible. However, we made the best of it and enjoyed the day.
Hello Audrey. Thank You for that day. I had really nice time with all of You as well. Thanks. Peter.
Piotr was flexible, knowledgeable and shared Dingle Glass, Coastal Views and Bee Hive House history. In the end we overlooked Killarney Lakes. Great experience!
Thank you Michael. Say hello to your Mrs. I had lots of fun with both of you as well. Thank you once again for great company.
This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me and my friends during our stay in Killarney. Our guide, Peter, was nothing but incredibly kind, flexible, and full of knowledge on the history of Ireland and the Dingle Peninsula. We stopped at numerous spots including Inch Beach, Slea Head, DingleCrystal, and, per our request, a sheep farm (we got to hold lambs!). Being able to drive the perimeter of the entire peninsula was beautiful. Peter gave us an excellent experience of all and truly made us appreciate the rich history behind it. I would highly highly recommend booking a tour with Peter as your guide—we loved this tour so much and we loved Peter! Without a doubt the highlight of our week in Ireland.
Thank You Girls for nice review. That was great day for me as well. Thanks. Kind regards Peter.
We had a wonderful day exploring the Dingle Peninsula with our tour guide Piotr. He was very knowledgeable about the area and all the best places to stop. Taking this private tour allowed us to see what we liked, and spend as much time as we wished at each stop. We highly recommend this tour.
Thank You Holly for nice review. That was a pleasure for me. Thank You.
Peter was an excellent guide. We hired him for 2 days. Dingle peninsula and ring of kerry. He is knowledgable, friendly, helpful, reliable and willing to go the extra distance. We would highly recommend him!
Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our day with him. He adjusted our tour to fit our preferences.
Peter was fantastic! Communicated with me the day before the tour to set up pick up. Showed up early and so friendly. We really didn’t know everything we wanted to see- he asked great questions to help us plan out our day that worked for us. Took us to all the best places, took pictures for us. Was so friendly and willing to do whatever to ensure we had an amazing day! I would whole heartedly recommend anyone booking with Peter- I am so thankful I found him!
Hi Molly. Thank you for your appreciation. Thats my satisfaction and I am so Glad that you have found me. Thanks a million. Regards Peter.
What an amazing trip! My friend and I were able to see so much in one day and yet it never felt rushed. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, stopping at last-minute locations like cliff-side beaches at our request. We were very lucky, with incredible weather and views the whole day. If you don’t have a car or don’t want to risk driving the narrow roads along the ocean, this tour is a must for seeing a stunning part of Ireland.
This tour will get you around the Dingle area where there is plenty to see. Pitor was an amazing guide and willing to adjust the tour to your request, and he does a great job noticing what your interest is and makes great additional suggestions as recommendations for the tour.
Thank you David. Three of us we had a great time. Thank you once again and say Hi to your Mrs. Please. Kind regards Peter.
Our driver arrived on time and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. We couldn’t be more pleased . We left something in the vehicle and he was so kind to bring it to us at the train station next morning. Thank you so much, Peter, for going out of your way!
