Description

On this scenic tour around the Slea Head Drive we discover and take in astounding vistas and visit historical sites along the way. As well as improving your overall photography and composition with any camera or phone, I’m more than happy to use my own photo skills to take amazing photos of you in the gorgeous backdrop of the Dingle Peninsula.  Simply sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful tour or if you’re capturing precious moments at the fabulous locations we’re visiting, I’ll provide tips and tuition on how to improve your holiday photography with any camera or phone. All our locations are easy to access with no strenuous walking or climbing! I’ve been a regular visitor to the Dingle Peninsula throughout my life as my mother was originally from Dingle. I’ve been living here for over 20 years and I have spent the best part of the last 30 years discovering great locations and the best spots to capture the beauty of the area as a local landscape photographer.

Small group photo Slea Head Tour

Thank you George for arranging our fabulous Tour around the Dingle peninsula. You had us hooked from the first stop at ‘Feed the Lambs’! When we stopped at Slea Head your immediate tips on creating effective photos were so useful and worked straight away. The tour took in so many varied and photogenic spots that we would never have discovered while driving ourselves. The historic knowledge and understanding offered was invaluable on a short visit the Ring Fort was an experience in itself, offset against the oratory, monastery, beehive houses and Star Wars information - a fabulous day all round prepared by an amazing host! Would certainly recommend booking a trip if in the area.

Great tour!

Our guide George picked us up at our hotel and was on time. He was very helpful with tips on how to compose our photos. We stopped at dozens of great sites for photos. He was very knowledgeable of the geography, ancient history and is a true local. Well worth the cost.

Amazing experience.

Can’t speak highly enough of George or our tours - we did both Slea Head and Beara Peninsula with him. He could not have been knowledgeable, accommodating, or amenable. Truly some of the great highlights of our trip to Ireland. You will certainly not be disappointed if you book with George.

Great experience!

George gave a great tour that was enjoyed by my entire family (husband, parents). He was easy to communicate with regarding pick up, and the whole day was truly enjoyable. I am so, so glad we didn't drive it alone. Having George drive and share information along the way was priceless. He gave us camera tips as well that we continue to use. Highly recommend.

The best way to do the Slea Head Drive!

What a fabulous tour! George is SO nice and really helped us with taking better photos. We only had our iphones with us but he gave us some excellent tips that I've been using since the tour, as we travel around Ireland. I highly recommend taking this tour. We stopped at so many amazing places with breathtaking scenery, and we chatted with George throughout the tour. He explained so much of the history of Ireland, the ancient stone buildings and stone walls, etc. Had we done the Slea Head drive on our own, we wouldn't have known exactly what we were looking at most of the time - he told us about the history of the Blasket Islands, Galarus Oratory, we went up to see St. Brendan's church, and just so many interesting places. We also did not realize that he does tours all over Ireland and when we return, we will definitely book another tour with him.

Perfect Tour of Slea Head!

This was a perfect tour of Slea Head Drive--everything we were hoping for and more. There were numerous places for great photos along the drive, so we left with some stellar shots! George was very knowledgeable about the history and shared interesting insights throughout without overwhelming us. There was an even an additional part of the drive that my friend and I wanted to see, so George went out of his way to help us see it. Side note: I also appreciated the small group size for the tour. 5 stars and a big thank you to George! I will be recommending this tour to family and friends.
