We have been the proud recipients of TripAdvisor's Travellers's Choice Award for the last 3 years.

Where the Dingle Peninsula meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Slea Head Drive winds and turns along the rocky shoreline. This 30 km (18m) stretch of the well-known Wild Atlantic Way has been hailed by National Geographic as one of the world's most picturesque locations. Sit back and let our skilled drivers take you along this breathtaking journey as you discover well-known sites like Ventry Beach, ancient ringforts, and beehive huts along with breath-taking vistas of the Blaskets and Skellig Islands. Even Hollywood could not withstand Slea Head's allure. Some of Hollywood's finest epic movies, such as Ryan's Daughter, Far and Away, and Star Wars, have used this region as their setting. Use Mossie's Tours to discover the ethereal beauty.
One of the most curious features of the Dingle Peninsula are the Fahan Beehive Huts. These drystone corbelled Iron age huts derive their name from the unique shape of the building. The Fahan group are comprised of 19 subterrain and 18 standing clochans (beehive huts). Our guides will lead you through the inscribed stones, sculptured crosses, and earth ring forts. If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear our ancestors’ songs carried in the wind.
The Gallarus Oratory is a 7th-century church and monastic site. The oratory is the best-preserved ancient church and one of the most beautiful ancient buildings in Ireland.
Kilmalkedar is an early Norman ecclesiastical site and National Monument. The surviving church building was constructed in the mid-12th century then extended around 1200AD. The grounds include the corbelled Hiberno-Romanesque church building, an alphabet stone, an ancient sundial, bullauns, and a Promise stone. Experience this amazing historical site with our knowledgeable guides so not to miss a thing.
Saint Branden, like the rest of the world, could only speculate about what lay further to the west when he set sail from this small wharf in the sixth century. Will he and his little band of supporters make it to the edge of the planet or will they be overthrown by ferocious sea monsters who govern the vast beyond? He had no idea, but his faith kept him going. The "Voyage of St. Brendan the Navigator", compiled in the 9th Century tells the history of a party of men who may have been the first people to visit Iceland, Greenland, and possibly Nova Scotia before returning via the Hibbertias.
An Riasc is an abandoned 6th-century Christian monastic community. Early monks would have travelled to the edge of the world to preach "the word." The Riasc community represented the edge of the world as they knew it.

This was one of our favorite days. Mossie picked us up right at our vacation rental in his newer, spotless van. Not having to deal with driving, parking, knowing the must see items, etc. was such a blessing. Mossie was absolutely charming - he knew the Dingle history and all of the locals (we loved listening to them speak "Irish" to each other). Mossie certainly has the Irish story telling talent. 10/10!
My dad, mom, and I had a fantastic time with Helen. She was so knowledgeable and patient. The tour was personalized and exceeded our expectations. We learned so much and the views of the Dingle Peninsula are captivating. I highly recommend Mossie Tours. We truly enjoyed ourselves without needing to worry about driving on the slea head drive or having to pick the best places to stop. Do not pass this opportunity up!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Helen. She drove us, in style, to see the local archeological sites and beautiful countryside and waterside views. It was inspiring and memorable. We were so lucky to have a sunny day and blue skies which made it all the more beautiful. Helen gave us a deeper understanding of the history of the area. She even squeezed in time for us to get a pint at the western most pub in Europe. We'd love to come back and spend more time.
My son and I had a wonderful time with Mossie! Educational and fun trip seeing spots we would not known to have visited and learning things we would not have learned solo. We had a car but opted to do a private tour and so glad we did! Slea head drive and Connor’s pass were beautiful. The beach we stopped at was a favorite for me. Would 100% recommend. Thanks Mossie!
We had THE BEST DAY EVER with Helen! Who was INCREDIBLY patient with my 6 and 10 year old kids! She gave us a private, customized tour of Slea Head Drive - my kids were obsessed with animals so she even suggested a stop on the way that we didn’t even know about where they could feed sheep, lambs, horses, goats and pigs! They were in heaven! Never mind the fact that it was the most picturesque day of our lives! Helen was absolutely LOVELY and our family adored her. We are definitely planning on coming back to Dingle and will definitely be using Mossie’s Tours and Helen again!
Wow! Truly the trip of a lifetime! TLDR: Book now! You won't get any better! Our private tour with Helen exceeded every expectation we had, and honestly became one of the most meaningful experiences of our entire trip (if not our lifetime). From the moment we met her, we felt completely welcomed and cared for. Helen is incredibly kind, warm, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely heartfelt in sharing the place she calls home. The experience felt beautifully personal from start to finish. The car was spotless and comfortable, and we immediately felt relaxed and completely at ease with Helen driving. She thoughtfully tailored the day around our interests, offering options along the way and making the experience feel effortless, intimate, and special. The Peninsula is rich with history and absolutely gorgeous - without a doubt! And, what made the tour unforgettable was Helen herself. As someone whose roots in the area go back generations, she shared not only the history of the region, but also stories, relationships, and local insight that you simply could never get from a guidebook. Everywhere we went, it felt like she knew someone, had a story, or could show us a hidden gem we never would have discovered on our own. We truly felt like we were seeing the heart and soul of the area through the eyes of family. In fact, by the end of the day, it honestly felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a beloved cousin. “Cousin Helen,” we already miss you — and we absolutely will be back. This experience left such a deep impression on us. We still find ourselves reliving moments from the day and trying to hold onto the peace, serenity, warmth, and welcoming spirit we felt while with Helen. It was more than sightseeing; it was a genuine human connection and a memory we will treasure forever. If you are considering booking a tour, book here now. We cannot imagine a better experience, and we would choose this tour again and again without hesitation.
Mossie made our experience with our son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons, one of our most cherished memories, not only of Ireland, but of our extensive travels throughout all of Europe. He brought history to life with his storytelling style and made an adventure out of all of our excursions for all three of our generations. His blend of his knowledge of Irish history, his personal and ancestral experiences, singing with our grandchildren and adults, as well as his moving recitation of a poem that touched us all as we viewed the majestic Dingle Peninsula, gave the highest quality experience imaginable. Thank you Mossie!!!
Mossie came highly recommended and our family of four was not disappointed. Even with not great weather, Mossie was a terrific tour guide and treated us like VIPs with all his insider knowledge. Everywhere we went, everyone knew Mossie! I was happy to not drive for a day in order to better relax and enjoy the views. Thank you, Mossie!
I really enjoyed our tour with Mossie . We did it as a school group and had a great time learning lots about the Dingle Peninsula , Mossie is an excellent tour guide.
Very informative experience. Very enjoyable! Learned lots about Irish culture.
