Itinéraire
Ce manoir victorien du XIXe est situé dans le parc national de Killarney. La maison se trouve à proximité des rives du lac Muckross, l'un des trois lacs de Killarney, célèbre dans le monde entier pour sa beauté. Dans le parc, Muckross House est le point de départ idéal pour explorer ce paysage. La maison a été construite pour Henry Arthur Herbert et sa femme, Mary Balfour Herbert. C'était en fait la quatrième maison que les générations successives de la famille Herbert occupaient à Muckross sur une période de près de deux cents ans. William Burn, l'architecte écossais, était responsable de sa conception. La construction a commencé en 1839 et s'est achevée en 1843. Au cours des années 1850, les Herbert ont entrepris de vastes travaux de jardinage en vue de la visite de la reine Victoria en 1861. Plus tard, la famille Bourn Vincent a poursuivi cette tradition de jardinage. Ils ont acheté le domaine de Lord et Lady Ardilaun au début du XXe siècle. C'est à cette époque que le Sunken Garden, le Rock Garden et le Stream Garden ont été aménagés.
Le château de Ross se trouve au bord du lac inférieur de Killarney et a été construit par O'Donoghue Mór au XVe siècle. Le château est passé aux mains des Browne qui sont devenus les comtes de Kenmare et possédaient une grande partie des terres qui font maintenant partie du parc national de Killarney. La légende raconte qu'O'Donoghue existe toujours dans un profond sommeil sous les eaux du Lough Leane. Le premier matin de mai, tous les sept ans, il sort du lac sur son magnifique cheval blanc et fait le tour du lac. On dit que quiconque l'aperçoit est assuré de la bonne fortune pour le reste de sa vie. Le gros rocher à l'entrée de la baie est connu comme la prison d'O'Donoghue. Ross Castle était le dernier bastion de Munster à tenir tête à Cromwell. Elle fut finalement prise par le général Ludlow en 1652. Nous pouvons organiser une croisière sur les lacs de Killarney d'une heure sur The Lily of Killarney (coût supplémentaire)
La cascade Torc est une cascade de 20 mètres de haut et de 110 mètres de long formée par la rivière Owengarriff lorsqu'elle s'écoule du lac de corrie Devil's Punchbowl à Mangerton Mountain. La cascade, qui se trouve au pied de la montagne Torc, dans le parc national de Killarney, se trouve à 7 km de Killarney dans le Kerry, en Irlande.
Le parc national de Killarney s'étend sur 10 000 hectares avec sa combinaison inoubliable de montagnes, de lacs, de forêts et de cascades. Le parc national de Killarney comprend les lacs ainsi que le domaine de Muckross, y compris le parc commémoratif Bourn Vincent, présenté à l'État en 1932 comme le premier parc national d'Irlande.

Since the tour was cancelled, we were upset. The cancellation was due to only two registrations. We travelled all the way from Canada to experience Ireland and now we have had 2 out of 3 pre booked tours cancelled due to low registrations. This is bad for the reputation of Irish tourism. We would not recommend that Viator continue with these tour companies. We have taken cooking classes in Italy and Laos when we were the only students but they served us anyway. While it may not be financially viable, losing money occasionally is necessary to sustain a good reputation.
Thank you for your one star rating on a tour you did not experience! Firstly, I would like to clarify that you were only booked with this company for one tour and not two as you mention. As part of the terms and conditions on all our tours stating clearly that tours maybe cancelled if insufficient numbers are booked. You did not mention that a text was sent to you at 5.30pm on the previous evening to advise you of a possible cancellation and offering you an option of joining two others tours. Although these other trips are more costly, you were given the opportunity to participate for the same rate. I am sorry you had had this experience but hopefully if you return to Killarney I will certainly arrange a tour at a discounted rate for you.
Highly recommend. Perfect amount of time. Beautiful sites and Darrin went out of his way to accommodate us. We had a wonderful day. Love the town of Killarney.
A bus with very tired shock absorbers with a driver/guide who thinks he is doing a rally. Very few stops to enjoy the beautiful landscapes or take pictures. Few comments during the visit. This is well below the other excursions we have made and is especially expensive for the Service rendered.
Please advise what date you are supposed to have joined this tour so that a further investigation can take place.
Very convenient trip that takes about 4 hours. The vehicle was good and our driver showed us all the key spots. We landed from Dublin around 11 and took this tour at 2pm same day
Thank you for making the time to post this up on trip advisor after your Killarney highlights tour. We very much appreciate you doing this and hope you enjoy the rest of your Irish holidays.
My friend and I booked a last-minute tour when we arrived in Killarney, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire trip! When we showed up at the tour office, we were told we were the only ones booked for that time slot. I jokingly said, “So it’s a private tour then?” and to our surprise, they genuinely did upgrade us to a private tour—no hesitation. Dareen was our driver and guide, but by the end of the tour, he felt more like an old friend showing us around his hometown than someone we’d just met. The original tour included Ross Castle, Torc Waterfall, and Muckross House, but since it was just the two of us, Dareen said we’d likely have some extra time and asked if we’d like to see a few bonus sights. Of course we said yes! At each stop, he gave us a bit of history or interesting info, then offered to take our photo—without us even having to ask. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had great memories and great pictures to remember them by. At Ross Castle, he waited patiently while we explored, and at Torc Waterfall, he actually hiked up with us, sharing insights about the plant life and how rainfall affects the waterfall. The whole time, we felt so well taken care of and genuinely enjoyed the conversations we had with him—everything from life in Killarney to Irish history and fun local trivia. One of the bonus stops he added was Ladies View, where he explained the story behind the name and how it connects to Muckross House. Again, he came with us to the top and snapped some more pictures for us with the gorgeous view behind us. After we toured Muckross House on our own, Dareen took us to one of his favorite spots on the property—a quiet little beach that’s not on the typical tourist path. There, he shared a bit about Ireland’s golden eagle population and how conservation efforts are underway to reintroduce another eagle species. From the beach, we could even see a tree in the distance where a nest had been spotted. On the drive back, he gave us great suggestions for where to eat, grab a pint, and continue enjoying Killarney. This tour was so much more than we expected. Dareen clearly loves his hometown and takes such pride in sharing it with others. We felt lucky to have had such a personal, meaningful experience. Highly, highly recommend!
What a super Headline and review up here on trip advisor we are very thankful to you for it. Darren was delighted that he played a small part in giving you some happy memories of your recent Irish holiday in Killarney. Now that you've discovered the delights of the Kingdom of Kerry , we look forward to welcoming you back to us in the not -too distant future possibly on another tour.
I booked this tour just one hour before it started, not expecting much on such short notice. When we arrived, we were told we were the only two people signed up. Instead of canceling or rescheduling, we were generously offered a private tour! That gesture alone speaks volumes about how accommodating and professional this family owned tour company is. From the start, our guide, Darren made us feel completely safe and cared for. He was kind, funny, and such a great conversationalist! It felt like spending the day with an old friend. His love and passion for Killarney is obvious and made us fall even more in love with this wonderful town. He filled our tour with fun facts and historical insights. He even took us to a few of his own favorite secret spots off the beaten path. Everything aboutbthe day felt deeply personal and incredibly special. This wasn’t just a tour, it was a heartfelt, one-of-a-kind experience. If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Killarney, do not miss an adventure with Deros Coach Tours. It's the kind of experience that reminds you why travel matters... connection, authenticity, and unforgettable memories.
What a sparkling review Christy and thank you most sincerely for taking the time to write it and post it up on trip advisor - we genuinely do appreciate it. Darren was thrilled to read your very detailed review and very kind words. To merely say thank you for such a glowing review seems insufficient . However THANK YOU . We hope and trust that the rest of your Irish adventure went off just as well.
A wonderful small family owned company in Killarny. We had a great tour with our driver Donie. Great stories Great laughs and a fabulous recommendation for dinner... Cronins
