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.
Great tour and tour guide

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 day I will always treasure!

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.
Fun, memorable and truly worth it

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.
Saw a lot on a short day

The marvelous Ted Kennedy

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.
Fantastic day

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.
So happy we booked this tour!

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

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, 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
The best part of our trip.

My wife and I booked a private tour of the Ring of Kerry and loved it. Billy, a gentleman of approx. 56 years old, was the driver and tour guide. His knowledge and insights made this an very special day and the highlight of our 9 day trip through Ireland. We are VERY glad we did not try to drive this ourselves. First, we would never have found some of the most special spots that Billy knew. Second, we would have struggled trying to enjoy the scenery while also keeping the car on the very narrow roads. Third, we would have missed all the insight and expertise offered by Billy. He knew the history, he knew how to avoid the giant tour bus crowds, and he brought everything to life for us. I highly recommend investing the money.

This tour was by far the absolute best experience of our entire stay in Ireland! We were lucky to get the best weather they've seen in decades. Our tour guide, Angela, went way above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Angela picked us up promptly and asked us a few questions about what we wanted to see/do. Knowing that we had the kids with us ages 8 and 5, she suggested some stops for us as well. The van was incredibly spacious and comfortable. Angela was full of knowledge about the rich history and culture of Kerry. She made our entire journey just so much fun, making jokes, engaging the kids with facts and questions, and overall being warm and kind. When we told her that we were exhausted from our long journey to Ireland and our not-so-comfortable Airbnb accommodations, she was able to suggest a hotel where she was acquainted with the owner to get us a great room at a great price. She even helped us gather our luggage from our Airbnb and drive us to the hotel! I honestly feel like we made a friend in Angela. Our family will remember her as an integral part of our amazing visit to Kerry and Ireland. If you're planning to bring your elementary-age children with you to Kerry, request Angela as your tour guide - you will love her just as much as we did!
Fantastic tour with Peter

We had rented a car and were planning on driving the Ring of Kerry ourselves. In doing some reading the night before, we realized it would be a lot of driving on narrow roads in a large vehicle (there were 6 people in our party, including 4 adults and 2 kids) and ended up booking a last minute tour with Peter. Peter was great at communicating with us despite the late hour. He was on time with his fantastic car, and was so friendly and knowledgeable. He was a fantastic guide, telling us about the history of the area, helping us to avoid places and times we'd be overrun with tour buses, and customizing the tour for what we were most interested. I would highly recommend booking with Peter if you can, and enjoy a relaxing and gorgeous day around the Ring of Kerry!

Don't hesitate book now!

Our tour driver was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the area! Highly recommend booking this tour. It was much easier to explore the Ring of Kerry without having to worry about driving ourselves and mapping out where to go.

William was our tour guide and we couldn't have been happier with him or our experience. He picked us up promptly and never appeared to be in a hurry or rushed to return us to our hotel. He was a wealth of information about all aspects of Irish geography, history, politics, and culture. He spent virtually the entire time with us talking and answering our questions. When we got to site, he explained what we would see and suggested the best angles or approach to get the best views. The only criticism we had was we didn't get responses to our questions when we tried to contact the tour company ahead of time. I would highly suggest this tour.
Great tour! While others slowly...

Perfect way to see the Ring of Kerry and enjoy a wonderful lunch along the way. We enjoyed the tour so much that we booked the Dingle Peninsula tour for the next day. The drivers were gracious, considerate and explained what we were to see and the towns we visited. The vans were comfortable, spacious and virtually new!! The restaurants they chose for lunch were excellent! We highly recommend this wonderful way to see the most beautiful scenery! Don't waste a perfectly wonderful trip by trying to drive those roads yourself!
