We had a wonderful time with Batt from Deros Tour. First it was nice to just sit, relax and enjoy the lovely views. But we didn’t expect to have so many interesting information about the region, the places we saw, Irish history, local stories as well as some great personal anecdotes ! We made several stops to take photos and take a moment to enjoy the scenery. Needless to say that we saw some breathtaking views ! Batt was so kind and funny, the perfect guide for such a lovely experience 👌 Thanks a lot ! Definitely recommend this family local company.
This tour was the highlight of our trip in Ireland! We travelled to Killarney and the pick up was easy to find! Our tour guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable and kind. The tour itself takes the stress out of traveling! Being able to see the beautiful Dingle Peninsula without worrying about driving was key. They took us to spots where we took pictures that we will keep forever. Stunning views and amazing nature. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Ireland!
Had an amazing time! Woman who checked us in was kind and helpful - to everyone- watched her accommodate a dear old couple who somehow booked a tour from a brochure they had that was 20 years old! She arranged for a car to pick them up & meet up with a tour bus that would take them thru most of what they had wanted to see! Her kindness left quite an impression on my husband and I. The driver and guide of our tour were also kind and full of knowledge which made our trip very interesting & memorable.
We had a lovely day exploring the Dingle Peninsula, Slea Head and Inch Beach, the scenery was beautiful and the tour really enjoyable. Our driver Batt was friendly, welcoming and funny, which made it even better. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time for photos. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Ireland and highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback! It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the stunning scenery across Dingle and Slea Head, and that Batt made the journey so welcoming, funny, and relaxed. Ensuring our guests have ample time to take in the views and capture photos is always our goal. Thank you for touring with us, and safe travels on your future adventures!
This was one of our favorite days on our 9 day trip to Ireland! The morning pickup was conveniently placed within walking distance of our bed & breakfast in Killarney, and super easy to find. My sister got my husband and I priority seating because it was our first time in Ireland! This offered us incredible views and put us right next to our charismatic tour guide, Batt. Batt was so much fun from the jump. He’s an incredible storyteller and had us laughing the entire trip. There were a few inconsiderate individuals on our bus who weren’t abiding by the timeline set forth to give everyone on the tour ample time at each location. Batt did a great (and hilarious) job of wrangling them back in whenever they went rogue; he was a total professional. I’m still so thoroughly impressed by how proficiently he maneuvered this giant tour bus on such narrow roads. I can’t recommend this tour of the absolutely gorgeous Dingle Peninsula, and Batt, enough!
Thank you for such a wonderful and entertaining review! We’re delighted that your first trip to Ireland included such a memorable day exploring the Dingle Peninsula. Batt will be thrilled to know you enjoyed his charismatic stories, seamless bus maneuvering on the narrow roads, and lighthearted way of keeping the schedule running smoothly. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and wish you all the best on your future travels!
Our tour guide Sheila and driver Sean were phenomenal and made the entire experience truly top-notch. They were friendly, personable, and funny, and even had lovely singing voices! Sean is a highly skilled driver and navigated sharp turns and narrow roads. The bus was comfortable with AC/heat. The sights were absolutely stunning and completely worth the trip. Our tour offered something for everyone, from exploring Dingle to feeding animals on a farm. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I would highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you had such an incredible time exploring Dingle. Sheila and Sean will be overjoyed to hear your kind words about their driving, storytelling, and singing! It’s fantastic to know the entire day was a highlight for you.
Our trip guide was Bat. He was so kind and funny and he gave us so much information about each stop with extra stories along the way. Each stop was so beautiful but my favorite part was holding the baby lambs! I would definitely book with them again!
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're so glad you had a great time exploring with Bat and that getting to hold the baby lambs was such a special moment. We'll be sure to let Bat know how much you enjoyed his stories, and we can't wait to welcome you back again!
This family run business was perfect! Our tour guide Bat shared amazing stories, sang and was so personal. The tour was not rushed we had great meals and the experience was fantastic.
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! Supporting our family business means a lot, and we're delighted you enjoyed the relaxed pace, great meals, and Bat's stories and songs. We'll make sure Bat hears your compliments, and we hope to see you on another tour soon!
It was amazing and the driver Sean and Sheila so kind and cheerful! We had a great tour with them! There was a lot of knowledge about the different areas, crack agus cell
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that you had such a great tour exploring with Sean and Sheila. Having great local knowledge paired with plenty of fun and music is what it's all about. We'll be sure to pass your lovely compliments along to both of them!
Very organized and friendly company. The tour was well planned and narrated. Many stops to break up the trip. Could have used a little more time in Dingle. So if that’s all you care about then just take a day trip there. But seeing the beach and Slea Head was grand!
Thank you for the great feedback! We are so glad you found the tour well-organized, informative, and loved the stunning views around Slea Head and the beaches. We always aim to strike the right balance between scenic coastal stops and town exploration, and we appreciate your honest note on Dingle town. Safe travels, and thank you for touring with us!
