Glad David was driving!

All enjoyed the sunny weather we brought in mid September. Driver David worked hard to keep us on time, which made sure we had enough time with the sheep herding and beach stops. David shared a lot of history, environment and cultural information, some from his personal experience growing up in Killarney. Two doors on the bus made it faster to get all in and out. Temperature was fine. Volume could be lower for us, but maybe it was because where we sat or others harder of hearing. If you do plan on driving yourself, consider going counterclockwise so you don't have to pass buses and big trucks.

Kevin makes the Tour fantastic!

Kevin was amazing. He knew so much and helped us learn about all Ireland has to offer, and its history. He was so good with my Aunt who had mobility issues. We got stopped up on the road from an accident and he stayed calm and got us back on track, turning the bus around and returned us all safe and sound. He deserves a raise!

Fantastic tour. Our only...

Fantastic tour. Our only uncontrollable issue was the rain. Our tour guide was awesome. Our guide did his best to navigate the day to make the most of it. The sheepdog demo is great. The bog village is a bit touristy but good Irish coffee there. Beautiful scenery along the entire route.

Exhilarating tour Iveragh peninsula

This was a well organized trip that used a coach small enough to include skellig ring with ring of Kerry Iveragh peninsula. The driver and tour leader, Dennis, was safety conscious, considerate of personal needs, informative and clear communicator. To his credit all stops as described in the itinerary were achieved within comfortable 7 1/2 hrs. The bog museum was entertaining (Irish wolfhounds) and humbling as the exhibits underscored the hard labor involved. The sheep herding border collies were remarkable, entertaining and a delightful interlude for the majesty of the natural environment. There were numerous photo stops and the pace, although indeed quick, in retrospect made for invigorating enjoyable and memorable trip. If you are only in Killarney for few days, this tour was well worth economizing on time constraints and seeing a lot of highlights of invigorating natural environment in pleasurable fashion

Excellent way to see the Ring of Kerry!

This was an excellent tour! Our tour guide David was incredible and we got to see so much of the area. There are two stops that could probably be skipped (the villages at the beginning and the end), but you don’t spend too much time in either so they don’t take away from the tour. It’s worth every penny!!
