Thank You Darren & Deros Coach Tours
Fabulous day visiting the Kerry Cliffs via Skellig Ring and Ring of Kerry thanks to Darren with Deros Coach Tours. Darren was professional, entertaining, and knowledgeable. His presentation of the details was at a nice pace. The coach was very clean and Darren was a great driver.

Deros Coach Tours and Batt Man
This was great day tour and the landscape was simply stunning. The best part of this tour was our guide, Batt, or Batt Man. He was knowledgeable about history, geography and had great insight into Irish culture. His passion about all things Ireland was palpable. As a bonus he broke into song during several points of our trip which was a surprise and was very moving.

Ring of Kerry
We had an absolutely amazing tour of Killarney, Ireland with Deros Tours, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip! Our driver, Darren, was fantastic from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day so enjoyable. We visited the Kerry Cliffs, Skellig Ring, Ring of Kerry, Kerry Bog Village, and Ladies View. Every stop was incredible, and Darren did a wonderful job sharing the history and stories of the area while also making sure we had plenty of time to take in the beautiful scenery. The whole experience was relaxed, fun, and incredibly memorable. Darren truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day, and his knowledge of the area made the tour even more special. 10/10 experience — we highly recommend Deros Tours and especially Darren as a driver! If you're visiting Killarney, this is definitely a tour worth doing. 🍀🇮🇪

Ring of Kerry tour
We took a trip around the Ring of Kerry and it was excellent. The trip was about eight hours and included various stops for lunch and snacks as well as photos and areas to explore. The Kerry cliffs were breathtaking. The trip was made by Darren our guide. He provided information on the area including history, local sports, local legends, things to do and places to eat. It was a great way to spend a day. Highly recommend Deron’s Tours and make sure you get on Darron’s tour.

A jewel of a tour.
This small group tour will surround you with scenery stunning and otherwise not easily accessible. The Kerry Cliffs alone, majestic and unspoiled, are worth the trip, but the tour offers so much more-- time travel in a folk village, riveting visas of Kerry's mountains, lakes and slopes sweeping down to the sea, lively local history, including Charlie Chaplin and famous GAA footballers, everything from llamas to Irish wolfhounds. Our guide and deft driver Sheila was delightful, both storyteller and singer, radiating knowledge and welcome. Not to be missed.
Operator response
Thank you for such a wonderfully vivid review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed everything from the Kerry Cliffs to the folk village (and the friendly animals along the way!). Sheila will be overjoyed to hear your compliments on her driving, stories, and songs. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for another Kerry adventure soon!

Always go with the locals!
So glad I chose the local Killarney operator to go on this tour! In addition to the Ring of Kerry, we got off the beaten path with a smaller van that allowed us to see the Kerry Cliffs, which were the highlight of the trip! I learned so much along the way and each stop was well timed and organized.
Operator response
Thank you so much for choosing a local team! We’re thrilled you loved the smaller van experience getting off the beaten track to spots like the Kerry Cliffs is truly what makes the day special. It’s wonderful to know the timing, stops, and local insights hit the mark for you. We’d love to welcome you back on board next time you’re in Killarney!
