Fantastic trip today with Richard M. He was a delight with his local knowledge of the land, people, history, and nature. The day flew by with him tailoring the trip to our favorite things. Would definitely recommend Richard to anyone as a guide.
Thank You Tracy for booking with us. Richard is our best tour guide, that's why he was with You. Thanks a million. Kind Regards Peter Stanley.
Tony did such a great job! Really knew the ins and outs of the area and allowed us extra time at special areas to us! He made sure we viewed exactly what we wanted!! Was such. Great time for me and my wife!
Hello Rob. Thank you for booking this tour with us. Your Guide Tony is very serious about his job. Thank You for appreciation. Kind Regards Peter Stanley.
We coupled our stay in Killarney with a day of touring the Ring of Kerry and a day of touring the Dingle peninsula. Tony, our driver and guide was lovely. He was sure to take us to sites both well traveled and more solitary. Our first stop was Inch Beach, which was gorgeous—giving us a glimpse of a surfing beach with a broad shoreline. After a coffee, we made our way to Dingle, stopping along the way to take in the picturesque views (literally). Tony gave us two hours to tour Dingle and enjoy a nice lunch in town. After Dingle we drove around the peninsula stopping at the beehive huts and a pub where Dolly Parton once walked in and gave a surprise performance. Tony was very knowledgeable about the area made sure we saw the best of the peninsula and the magnificence of the area. This is a great private tour and Tony was a very safe driver and gave a great tour of Dingle and the Sleigh Head.
Hello Kenneth. Thank You for spending your time writing this review. Tony will be very glad hearing this. Thank You once again for You and Your Mrs. Kind Regards Peter.
We had a great tour! I felt. Little bad since this was day 2 and jet lag hit me so a I fell asleep early on. But once we hit a couple stops we perked up and had. A great tour. Seeing Dingle Peninsula in private tour was the way to go. You get to go where tour busses couldn’t. I know we saw things the big tours disn’t! Peter was super pleasant and local to Kenmare, so he was super knowledgeable about things in the area. He also offered us help if we needed it to get through the Beara Peninsa if we needed it!
