Luxe 'Luck of the Irish' Tour - 4-daagse tour

Killarney Tours is awesome! This is the 5th time we used them and have never been disappointed. Gerard makes great recommendations and when he can’t do the tour himself, his other guides are great! We’ve had fun with Gerard, Leo and this last time with Annie! She was fun, engaging, and accommodating. Any time we’ve toured with them, they are able to adjust to weather, conditions, and our priorities! Best way to see Ireland without the stress of having to drive yourselves!

Our four days in Killarney felt less like a trip and more like a beautifully unfolding story—and Gerard was the heart of it all. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with such warmth and ease that we felt more like old friends than visitors. Each day was perfectly balanced—thoughtfully planned yet never rushed. We stood before breathtaking waterfalls, wandered through postcard-perfect countryside, and explored castles that seemed to echo with centuries of history. Gerard’s storytelling brought every place to life, blending past and present in a way that made Ireland feel deeply personal. One of the most memorable moments was a stop for a “proper” Irish coffee—warm, rich, and shared with laughter. It captured the spirit of the trip in a single, perfect pause. Gerard’s kindness, knowledge, and effortless way about him made every moment special. From his expert driving on winding roads to his incredible dining recommendations, everything felt seamless and authentic. This wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience we’ll always carry with us. Five stars hardly feel like enough.

My husband and I worked with Gerard to plan a custom 3 day tour from Galway down to Killarney, Dingle and Kilkenny. We had lots to see and do. He is knowledgeable, warm, professional and fun to be with. We enjoyed his suggestions for stops at the chocolate factory and sheep herding experience in addition to the well known tourist stops. His suggestions for pubs and music added to our adventure. We felt safe and comfortable throughout our time learning and laughing together. Do not hesitate to hire Gerard and Killarney Guided Tours. We highly recommend this true Irish Ambassador!

This is one of best Private Tours my wife and I have experienced. Our Tour Guide/Driver, Gerard R. is extremely knowledgeable, informative and with a great sense of humor.

Ireland - breathtakingly beautiful and variable in all the many areas we were able to visit! Gerard was instrumental in efficiently transporting us each day in comfort and always with engaging conversation as he shared his vast knowledge of his country’s history, geography, culture and its people with apparent joy. He made sure to adapt our tour to our personal interests and found unique locations where he clearly had relationship with the locals. We learned so much and we have so many memories that would not have been possible without his expert guidance.We will recommend him to anyone who wants to tour Ireland. We do not believe we could have had a better or more complete experience with anyone else!

First-class tour guide. Our driver, Gerard, made our Ireland trip into a trip of a lifetime. He took us to sights we will cherish for a lifetime. A perfect gentleman, historian, professional and punctual. Five star service. Thank you, Gerard!

Annie was a fabulous guide for my son and I! She was so thoughtful in determining what we’d like to see and making sure we had the experiences we’d hoped for! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Ireland, its traditions and past times and was so personable (extremely important for this type of trip). She went above and beyond (brought me gloves for the chilly days) and had excellent dining and shopping recommendations. I feel I’ll be disappointed by other tours going forward!!

What a fantastic way to see Western Ireland! Our trip was planned around a 5-day woodturning course a number of us attended prior to this trip. Our travel agent recommended this tour. Not being a fan of large bus tours, this was the perfect alternative to driving ourselves. Our tour guide Garrard was very flexible. He picked us up in Kilkenny and started the tour from there. We headed to Cork and Blarney Castle. When we arrived and saw the crowds we decided this was not the place for us. Garrard called an audible and took us to a small town where we had a nice quiet lunch outside! We also decided to avoid the busy visitors center at the Cliffs of Moher, so Garrard found another spot - we were the only tourists there - to get a beautiful view of the cliffs. We were taken to a bog, the Burren, and other out of the way places to avoid the crowds and get a feel for the small towns and get a feel for the real Ireland. We also enjoyed the main attractions such as the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. In Killarney we visited the Muckross house where Garrard took us on a walk around the area as well as a hike into the woods and a grand view of Muckross lake. In total we hiked about 7 miles. Absolutely wonderful! I would truly love to visit Ireland again and would certainly contact Garrard for another four day tour!

Our small group had a grand 4-day experience touring southern and western Ireland with Gerard as our driver and guide. Very knowledgeable about the country and its history. A kind, good-humored man. The vehicle was new and clean and comfortable. I believe we saw more of the real Ireland than most visitors. Strongly recommend this service for a true Ireland experience.

We had a great experience with KGT and Gerard and recommend using their service for a great and memorable Ireland experience.
