The Highlight of our Ireland holiday
The highlight of our holiday in Ireland. Piotr was an absolute gem of a tour guide; knowledgeable, patient and an incredibly skilled driver. He took us to places tour buses can't get to and places we would never have driven to ourselves. Extremel comfortable car and we were with Piotr for roughly 9 hours. The tour was well worth the cost. Thank you for an amazing and memorable experience! 🙂
Operator response
i. I remember You! We had a tour today together ;) thanks for a great company and easy tour. I love people from Massachusetts! See You in Boston. Thanks a milion, regards Peter.

Superb Ring of Kerry Tour (Clockwise)
This experience allowed my bride and I to truly enjoy and take in the sights, and also uncovered many great stops that we would have never known. Piotr (Peter) was a fabulous and knowledgeable driver…very well done and highly recommended!
Operator response
Thank You Sir for spending that day with me. I will always remember who had given me that honour. Thanks, Peter.

Ring of Kerry must do!
What a fantastic day we had today! Peter was a wonderful tour guide! We were originally a little unsure about the expense of this tour, but we are very glad we took the plunge! Firstly, this is a private tour and you're in a van. This smaller vehicle allows access to places the big tour busses just can't get to. Additionally, you're not stuck with 80-100 of your "closest friends!" 😉 Peter, will tailor your trip to see the sights you really wish to see, so you don't have to spend hours doing/seeing stuff you really didn't want to do/see. One last thing- the Kerry Cliffs are a must see destination. Check any tour that you're considering carefully. They don't all go there! Don't let the price scare you off, this tour is well worth every penny!

From the time Richard picked us up at our hotel we felt like we were traveling with a friend. He customized our trip around the things we wanted to see during the day. We went to places that the tour buses could not go, making the crowds non existent. I would highly recommend booking with Peter.
