Padraig is the ultimate tour guide, driver and source of valuable information of many things related to a visit to Ireland. The van he picked us up with was spacious, clean, had good air conditioning (a blessing on a hot day!) and even equipped with WiFi. He took us to several spots not on your typical large tour bus stops in addition to key sights along the Ring of Kerry. He shared with us a lot of interesting historical information and fun trivia so the long trip was never boring. He adjusted to our needs and interests, and we never felt rushed or hurried. I would highly recommend Padraig!
Full day Ring of Kerry tour with Padraig - what a great day! great photo ops and Padraig is very knowledgeable since he grew up in this area. We went to some stops which were not accessible by buses which was very cool. Kerry cliffs was amazing and impressive, probably my favorite stop. Very safe driver given the many turns and narrow roads. I would not have enjoyed the ring of Kerry if I was driving. Great experience overall. Touring in a private tour allows you to ask lots of questions, meet a local, and stay in places longer if preferred, and if that is what you are looking for, book with Padraig!
There aren’t enough stars. He needs 10! Padraig was excellent and super knowledgable! He even took us to some places not on our list and even went exploring with us into a castle! Let’s Go!!!
Our private Tour guide was incredible. Padraig was very knowledgeable and friendly. Went above and beyond. Drove very cautious and pulled over when asked.
What a fantastic day we had with Padraig (Cornelius). He took us to places we would never have seen on our own. Our 3 adult kids thoroughly enjoyed the day with Padraig, who was very knowledgeable and worked with us to see everything we wanted to see. A truly memorable day. Don't hesitate to book this trip.
Padraig provided us a fabulous tour of the Ring of Kerry! He was full of interesting facts and stories. He was extremely accommodation and went above and beyond to meet all of our needs (sheep dog demo, stoping for snacks, etc.). We had such a great experience on the first day that we spent a second day with Padraig exploring Dingle. Kerry Cliffs are a must see that only smaller tours can accommodate. The views and the personal experience made this tour well worth it.
Thank you for your wonderful review, it was a pleasure having you r family for two days, I agree that The Kerry Cliffs are truly amazing, the whole Skellig Ring and Portmagee village are beautiful.
