Fabulous tour with stunning scenery!! This tour actually does everything on the itinerary. It provides a bonus area of the skellig area that other tours do not. Our driver, Kevin, was fabulous! The driver can make the tour, and Kevin enhances the experience. I would highly recommend.
Definitely plan to see the border collie herding sheep. Amazing communication between master and dog!
We didn’t rent a car and were trying to figure out the best way to see the ring of kerry. Kevin made this trip unforgettable! Gave history and personal stories of all the sights along the way and gave tips at each stop so we had the best time in each place we went.
Kevin was wonderful and funny, informative and efficient. Everything ran on time, and the views were wonderful.
Great day tour hitting the highlights of the Ring of Kerry. The sheepdog demonstration was especially fantastic!
Beautiful scenery!! Helpful driver.
The tour is spectacular. The sheepdog demonstration was extremely interesting. Visiting the chocolate factory was a change of pace, as it practically rained the whole time. Therefore, the view was "hopeless."
Ring of Kerry is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever traveled! Kevin, the driver, is funny and full of knowledge. Great way to spend a day in Killarney!
Kevin O’Sullivan was phenomenal as tour guide. It would have been a nightmare to drive. Instead, the day was a delight.
Packed full of stops and sights. Best way to see the Ring of Kerry, history and fun facts about the area shared by our guide Kevin while he navigated the narrow twisty roads.
