Private Guided Tour Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring

The O Malley drivers were outstanding! Prompt, courteous, flexible based on our interests (combined with fluctuating weather), exceptional at navigating the narrow, winding roads, and fun! Packed with local knowledge; the drivers were invaluable in fine tuning daily itineraries, suggesting restaurants and pubs, cultural highlights along with scenic walks and hikes. Highly recommend! A++

We decided at the last minute to book a private guided tour of the Ring of Kerry and we were very happy that we did. Cormac was a great tour guide and allowed us to look around and enjoy the sights on the drive. The weather also helped out and it was quite lovely that day making for great views. Cormac efficiently took us to all the best sights along the ring and gave us a lot of the history and background of the region along the way. Well worth the effort to have a private guide and this firm was very good to work with.

We had an incredible experience with our tour guide/driver! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. His first hand knowledge allowed us to experience many of the wonders of Ireland. Our guide was super informative and always willing to accommodate our requests. We expressed an interest in hiking and, not only did he bring us to some beautiful, lesser known trails, but he joined us for the hikes! We had one very rainy, windy day and he was able to pivot from our original plan and introduced us to a wonderful coffee and scone shop as well as some off-the-beaten path shops to fill our day. He was always prompt and the van was cleaned and restocked with bottled water every night. I can honestly say our driver was a huge part of making our trip to Ireland a complete success and I highly recommend O'Malley Private tours!!

O’Malley Private Tours provides top, knowledgeable drivers who know the history, landscape, local culture, and so much more about Ireland! Our tours of Connemara, the Dingle and Ring of Kerry were full of historical relevance as we drove through beautiful country and stopped at classic, old Irish pubs of significance. We hiked each day on thoughtfully chosen trails selected and led by our wonderful driver. We couldn’t have hoped for a higher level of professional service that O’Malley Private Tours provided us with for 5 straight days! A truly outstanding experience from this exceptional company!

Tons of local knowledge and flexible! Very professional - would book again!!

Diarmuid O’Malley was an absolute delight. He was informative, super respectful and polite. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention his great Irish sense of humor, as well!! We were just sightseeing, but I bet his golf tours are off the charts as well! Don’t miss the opportunity to tour with O’Malley Private Tours…you will not regret it!!☘️😊

Diarmuid was a great guide! He was extremely friendly and gave lots of good restaurant/pub recommendations

We had a fabulous experience with Diarmuid O’Malley who took the four of us around the Ring of Kerry. He is very informed about history, has great Irish sense of humor, very fun and professional. He took us off the beaten path a little to avoid tour buses and to see some unique sights. He recommended great restaurants, pubs and even hooked me up with a physiotherapist because I developed back pain and needed an adjustment. I highly recommend Diarmuid. You will not find a better tour guide!

Do not hesitate to hire O’Malley for all of your Ireland driving! (yes, he let us call him by his last name). He made our trip complete, going out of his way to assist us in every way possible. He is a genuine local in love with his county, his country, sports, history and helping others! His knowledge of the Ireland golf scene is off-the-charts and he directed us to some beautiful rounds that we might not have experienced. We are especially appreciative of his Waterville Golf Links recommendation! He also drove us to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula, recommending early departures where we beat all traffic and avoided the large buses clogging the roads. O’Malley has a wonderful, easy personality and it plays out everywhere, especially when you see his meets and greets of all people in all locations. Everyone likes him! He knows the local terrain, golf courses, drive routes and top pubs in every town. Just as important, he has experience with how to avoid the big tourist crowds. He is happy sharing and always offers to make calls on your behalf when needed. I just can’t say enough about how nice O’Malley is and what a huge difference he made during our 9 day visit. He’s a true Irish gentleman with a love for what’s he’s doing that radiates all throughout his rides!
