A wonderful day and experience
We did the Ring of Kerry tour with David as our driver and guide. It was a wonderful day.
The stops are well spaced out and plentiful so there is always something going on. David’s narration along the way was very informative and entertaining. Although every stop was great, we definitely loved the sheepdog demonstration. There were many picturesque stops as well and we also quite enjoyed our lunch at Dooley’s.
Also worth noting that there are toilet options at almost every stop so that also makes the day more enjoyable.
Well done and we would highly recommend this tour and tour group.

A great experience in well worthwhile. I don't want to add photos
Kevin was our guide; an excellent guide, talking about the sights, his childhood with them, the beauty and how it came to be. He talked about the next hour and half hour and what on the lookout for. The sights and tour were breathtaking. It need to be posted out Kevin was big bus driver, narrator and tour guide so he had quite a bit on his plate. He was great if a photo spot was crowded, diligent about finding a great substitute. Two highlights that stand out are the stop at the sheep farm where we had a super presentation on training the dogs and how the become partners in herding Sheep. Awesome half hour. Second was the view in the area in the National Park called Ladies view in which Queen Victoria's aides found this lovely view on which to picnic.
Only minor issue and it must be said is the tipping policy. As this was a premium tour, we thought all services were included. Kevin had a jar that looked like a tipping jar seen.at retailers . If tips are expected, similar to walking tours, they should be open and articulate about it.
Does not overshadow the fact that this was a great experience.

A guide who knows the region.
The guide knew everything concerning the Ring of Kerry. His family comes from this region and he told us many anecdotes about his family and the region. He did it with a lot of humor. Highly recommended excursion.
