We had such a wonderful tour through the park to the Abbey. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly nice. Full of wonderful recommendations for us to see, eat, and do during our stay. The tour offered such beautiful sights and we will absolutely do it again on a return trip to Killarney.
Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, our tour guide and horse (Guinness) made it worth it. We saw dear, learned some history of the area and just enjoyed ourselves. Would highly recommend!!
Fun experience in a horse-drawn cart with 7 others, through the Killarney National Park to the ruins of Ross Castle. The fine weather was a bonus. Driver was entertaining
It just went into the national park to the Abbey and back but great history lessons along the way and wonderful stories.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Muckross Abbey tour. Our drivers love sharing the history, folklore, and local stories along the way, so it is wonderful to know that those lessons made your trip with us so memorable. Thanks for choosing McCarthys Killarney Carriage Rides
Very friendly, very sweet with the horse, beautiful views, and got to see a gorgeous castle! Would highly recommend Petting cute dog was a great bonus

We rode the juanting cart through the national park.Paul our driver was very personable,funny,and informative.would highly recommend it.
Outstanding experience with Damien! We went with our four year old and he was wonderful with kids, knowledgeable about the area, and offered suggestions for our exploring the area! When we return we will book again with Damien! Thanks for great memories!
We really enjoyed our trip with Damien and Molly. Damien was entertaining with discussions around the history and nature of the area as well as some farming anecdotes. And Molly was definitely the prettiest horse we saw all day.
The tour takes you to a monastery and the surrounding cemetery and the “Irish Tree of Life.” You only get a very small glimpse of Killarney National Park. The tour guide was extremely nice and very informative. Overall, it was okay but I thought we would see a little more of the park.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are absolutely delighted to hear that you found your tour guide to be extremely nice and highly informative! At over 26,000 acres, Killarney National Park is truly vast, and it would take a couple of weeks to see it in its entirety. Because of this scale, our specific route is carefully designed to maximise your time. Best of all, this route takes you deep into peaceful areas of the park that are completely closed to motor traffic and entirely inaccessible by car. We love being able to share these exclusive historic sites, including the monastery and the Irish Tree of Life, with our guests. We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed these unique, car-free views of Killarney. Safe travels on your future journeys!
