Ring of Kerry adventure
Elaine_H
, May 2022
Having Peter take us for this private tour was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. From his prompt pick up at our hotel to delivering us back, the day was perfect. We were able to customize the trip and he gave us the entire day. We learned so much about the history and the culture through talking with him. We loved the Ring of Kerry drive and the many stops along the way including numerous Killarney National park views, Kenmare (Maison Gourmet has wonderful baked goods), Valentina island and the slate mine, Fogher Cliffs, Portmagee (definitely eat at The Fisherman’s), and more. I highly recommend this tour with Peter as your guide!

Tony was our tour guide for the day and he was so Informative, witty and passionate about his job. He took us off the ring to explore beaches and even a chocolate factory. The Kerry cliffs was beautiful and we were so happy we stopped. We were glad we hired a private guide for the day even though it was a little pricey but well worth it. The streets are even more narrow than usual and Tony knew all the back roads. Really enjoyed our day with him.

Best Day Ever!

Do yourself a favor and book this trip! I was torn on how to spend our time in Ireland because we didn’t have many days. This was our favorite day. Peter was SO awesome! He took us everywhere we wanted to go and helped guide us to places we wouldn’t have thought to stop. He never rushed us. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We spent 10 hours with him - only because we kept him that long. Ha! He was totally fine and happy to keep stopping for us though, and I can’t thank him enough for helping my family make such great memories in the little time we had in beautiful Ireland. To name just a few places we saw - Valentia Island, Kerry Cliffs, Torc Waterfall, Mucross House and Gardens, Cahergall Fort. I can’t stress enough, if you’re not sure if you should book this or not - do it!!

A true VIP experience! Tony was an absolute gentleman- I am so glad he was my tour guide and partner for the day! A day of great conversation and experiences. There is no way I would have seen some of the sites on my own. Tony gave me a day that I will always treasure and I thank him for that.

Excellent tour. Our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make the tour truly memorable and enjoyable. Pickup and drop-off were both efficient and our guide was very flexible. Water was also provided. Do bring and wear stuff suited to the largely unpredictable Kerry climate - one moment you may need sunscreen and sunglasses and another you may need rain ponchos and wellies! We saw a lot and had a really wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Wonderful day spent touring the Ring of Kerry with Peter!

We had an excellent private tour with Peter on 8/23! My friend and I were visiting from California and decided to splurge on a private tour so that we could skip the mega bus during Covid. We also wanted to go to the Kerry Cliffs, which the bus cannot get to...It was SO worth every penny! Peter was just so informative on so many things. I didn't want to just see the sights, but also wanted background info and special knowledge on what we were seeing and Peter had all of that in spades. By doing the Ring of Kerry in the opposite direction than the Mega Buses go, we were able to avoid lots of the crowds. We were blessed with gorgeous weather and when we got to the Kerry Cliffs we were in awe - I can't believe how many people miss them entirely when they visit. It was just breathtaking. Peter always checked in with us and made sure if we wanted a coffee or lunch that we were taken care of...I really trusted him on the drive as well which takes a good level of driving skill. We cannot recommend Peter and this tour enough! We came back to CA still dreaming of everything that we saw that day - just magical!

Best tour imaginable!

The Ring of Kerry is spectacular in and of itself, but having a tour guide like Piotr truly made for a memorable experience. His knowledge of the history and evolution of the land and people, as well as the local lore, was outstanding. And he was so willing to tailor the tour, stopping only where we wanted and for as long as we wished, made for a perfect day. And he made us all anxious to return to Ireland soon. Five stars all the way around.

Great scenery-so glad to have a driver.

This is some of the most beautiful coastline views. Yes, the clouds can sometimes hamper, but if you are patient you will get to see eventually. Although we rented a car to drive around Ireland, this is some very harrowing windy, narrow roads with hairpin turns. Dan was a great driver and guide. He showed us all the highlights on the ring of Kerry and gave us history and background to learn about them. He also made some great recommendations for where to stop on our next drive. It was so nice to go off season when the ring road wasn’t clogged with busses-it was even worth putting up with the cold wind and rain. I highly recommend doing this day trip from Killarney.

The marvelous Ted Kennedy
elizabeth_p
, Oct 2019
What an exceptional tour of the Ring of Kerry provided by Ted. He was amusing, always with a fun Irish story. A challenging drive on winding roads that Ted rode with ease and confidence. He went out of his way to show us every exceptional view on the Ring as well as on side roads. There is no way a large tour bus could have given to us a more spectacular. He knows the Ring. If you come to Ireland and you wish to tour the Ring of Kerry if you do not have the pleasure of Ted Kennedy providing this service you are missing out.

This tour was awesome. Our driver Tony is quite the personality, if you know what I mean (you’ll understand that comment when you take his tour). Tony showed up at our hotel on time and took us on a very pleasant tour of the ring of Kerry and places in between. He finds out what you like and recommends great points of interest. I usually just drive myself around but I’m really glad we took this tour as I would never have found the great spots that Tony knows, he seems to know every bump in the road. The only tiring part of the trip was getting in and out of the car to take hundreds of photos of all the wonderful scenic views. I’ll be recommending this trip to friends and family. Thanks for a great day Tony, you’re the best.

Fantastic Day

We booked the trip a couple of days in advance and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The driver, Brian, was extremely friendly, knowledgable and brought us to places my parents had never been to, and they have been going to Kerry for 50 years! Also this tour goes to areas the buses cannot reach due to the roads. The van would fit 5-6 people very comfortably and the freedom to stop where you like for how long you choose really makes the day.

This tour was fantastic. We had Will Fleming, who has received numerous other excellent reviews ... and we found out why. He’s very informative on so many fronts - history, politics, economics, nature, etc., all while he navigates the windy, often narrow roads of the ring. He was also very accommodating to our needs, including access by car to the cliffs of Kerry, which is normally not allowed, and finding us a charming lunch spot on our personal time table. Compared to a large bus tour or trying to enjoy this trip in our own car, this tour is a no brainer, so happy we booked it!!

Peter was amazing
Michelle_M

We booked this tour of the ring of Kerry, even though we had rented a car, because I’ve read that the roads are pretty treacherous in some parts and with tour buses, it was a difficult trip. I am so glad I did! We were driving in from Dublin that morning and Peter stayed in communication with us via telephone to schedule a pick up time. He picked us up promptly at the Holiday Inn in Killarney, and he was so knowledgeable about the area. We saw a waterfall, and cliffs, and castles, and beautiful beach and country side views. Some I had suggested and some he had. We even stopped at a quaint authentic Irish pub for a bathroom break and a pint. He talked to us about the history or Kerry and Ireland along the way, and it was a really great tour. Definitely worth the money. There were 4 of us, and we all enjoyed ourselves. We weren’t squished in a car either. He had a 6 seater car that made the trip even more interesting. Thanks Peter!

Perhaps our expectations were too high...
Noreen W
, Oct 2018
Perhaps our expectations were too high, but we were expecting a tour, not just a taxi ride. Our driver was very accommodating, pleasant and brought us to the beautiful sights of the Ring of Kerry, plus an additional couple of requests we made. However, we were anticipating context and insight in addition to the ride as is typical for tours. Even more disappointing, the taxi that arrived to bring the 4 of us for our 9 hour excursion was very uncomfortable for 3 adults in the back seat.

Our tour of the Ring of Kerry with Richard on August 29, 2018 was superb! We departed from our hotel in Killarney for a full day tour with our driver Richard. The whole experience was wonderful, well-paced and enlightening. He was a knowledgeable, gracious guide and host! We highly recommend a small venue private tour like this as it is well worth the small added cost per person.W and L from Florida
