Dingle: Hour Slea Head Drive Tour 4hr - Personal Chauffeur Guide

I had read many reviews before selecting this particular tour. Most of them sang the praises of Gillian, one of the tour guides. She turned out to be our guide as well, and she was incredible. Very personable, flexible, knowledgeable and a great driver! The roads here on the peninsula are quite narrow in places, but she navigated them like a pro. With my husband and I both free to look out the windows instead of having to follow a map or watch out for the narrow sections in the road, it was a wonderful experience. Gillian told us so many stories about the local landscape, history and even the flora & fauna. We felt right at home with her immediately, and had such a good time together. I HIGHLY recommend both the tour and Gillian as a tour guide. Thank you for a wonderful experience - it was well worth the money we spent!

As 2 senior women, we needed a driver tour guide from Dingle to Galway and we found Gillian who was the most expert, kind, interesting, and showed us the hidden gems along the way despite intermittent drizzle. We had lunch together en route as she provided door-to-door service in her comfortable car. Her sunshine smile, gentle wit and wisdom, and generosity of spirit made her our favorite guide out of the 3 exceptional ones we experienced. Highly recommended! Thank you, Gillian!

Our full-day Slea Head Tour with Gillian was truly fantastic. It was a standout day in my family's trip to Ireland. She drove us to so many amazing sights while providing us with plenty of cultural and personal context to help us understand more than we ever expected about Irish life and history. She tailored the experience to our interests, providing more detail and conversation on areas of interest and also letting us explore quietly on our own where we wished. Coumeenoole Beach was a sight to behold, as were the hillside fort, beehive huts, and gorgeous seaside views. Thank you Gillian!

Our day with Gillian touring the Dingle Peninsula was the highlight of our Ireland trip. She is delightful and knowledgeable. We saw spectacular landscapes and seascapes and important cultural sites, with Gillian bringing it all to life, providing historical context and sharing her own unique personal perspective. As she drove, she tailored our tour based on our conversations. We hit it off from the first moment. The ride was comfortable. With an expert driver, we were able to relax and experience the breathtaking scenery: The Connor Pass, Slea Head, Dunquin Pier. We think that our time on Coumeenoole Beach was our favorite of the day. What a gorgeous place. It was magical. And Hold-a-baby-lamb was fun.

Our chauffeur was extremely flexible and knowledgeable! She allowed us ample time at stops and freedom to walk around as we pleased. Loves every minute of it.

Gillian did a great job with our tour. She was very knowledgeable and personable, pulling over many times to show us less known sites that were just as interesting as the big sites on every tour guide. We had a very pleasant afternoon

Arranged for private Slea Head tour 9am-1 pm with Gillian Sheehy of Dingle Guide. She is lovely. Since she is from the area, we appreciated her sharing personal stories. So nice to not have to drive yourself. Picked up and dropped off at our Dingle hotel and drove in her comfortable Mercedes - 2 adults and 2 kids. Stopped at Ventry Bay beach, Hold a Baby Lamb (this was my kids favorite experience of our entire trip), beehive huts, and back to sheephearding at Dingle Sheepdogs for demo, Dunquin Pier, Gallarus Oratory, Kilmalkedar Church, and didn’t do Connor Pass because of time. She took credit card. We paid for the hold a baby lamb and sheephearding demo and for a coffee at Dunquin Peir on our own at each site.

We spent a lovely morning with Gillian. It was such a treat to be able to soak in the view rather than worry about driving. She gave us insight into the history of the area as well as what it is like to live there now. This was truly a highlight of our trip!

Gillian is incredibly knowledgeable about the geography and history of Dingle. This combined the the amazing views made this well worth the cost. If you’re on the fence about it, just do it. You will not regret it!

Gillian of Dingle Guide is knowledgeable and responsive. She is enthusiastic about the wonders of the area and has a depth of expertise about the places and people in the long arc of history here. Warm and conversational, she will give you the opportunity to explore archeological sites, historical buildings, daily life and the exquisite beauty of nature.
