Amazing Tour of Ireland

From the start Rory was very on top of making sure we understood the plan for the day. Colm was an excellent tour guide and did a great job at making sure we saw a lot but also that we had ample time at each location along the way for photos and exploration. He was polite, informative, funny and a great driver on those narrow Dingle roads. 10/10. One of the great experiences in my lifetime and my family and friends’ too.

Operator response

Rainy day car ride!

It was a great day tour with Colm as our guide and driver. The weather was foggy and rainy, so we couldn’t see much of the views. I’m not sure what I wouldn’t have done in town on such a rainy day. This was still a good option inspite of the weather!

Operator response

Thank you, Yvonne, for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring tour with Colm. While the weather certainly didn't cooperate on the day, we're glad the tour still provided an enjoyable experience and a great way to explore the region despite the fog and rain. Colm will be pleased to hear your kind words. We hope you'll have the opportunity to return on a sunnier day to experience the spectacular views in all their glory. Safe travels and thank you again for choosing Dingle Slea Head Tours! Kind regards, Rory Dingle Slea Head Tours

Unforgettable

Our private full-day Ring of Kerry tour was one of the highlights of our trip, thanks to our driver, Colm. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history, culture, and hidden gems, and shared everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. His use of a microphone made it easy for all to hear including those towards the back of the vehicle and my father who has hearing loss. His sense of humor made the day even more enjoyable, and he kept the atmosphere relaxed and fun throughout. We never felt rushed and got to experience the best of the Ring of Kerry at our own pace—highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that your Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring tour was such a highlight of your trip. Colm is a fantastic guide, and we’re very lucky to have him on our team. It’s great to know his knowledge, storytelling, and sense of humour made the day so enjoyable for you all. We’re especially pleased to hear that the microphone made a difference, ensuring everyone—including your father—could fully enjoy the experience. That’s something we always aim for, so it’s lovely to hear it had such a positive impact. Thank you again for the recommendation—it truly means a lot to us. Warm regards, Rory Dingle Slea Head Tours

Views, Chocolate and Whiskey

Amazing tour, spectacular views. Rory was timely and friendly. Enjoyed being introduced to a couple new bands we I’ll enjoy listening to back home to remind us of this trip we think offered the best views we saw in Ireland.
