We truly enjoyed our ride through the beautiful national park with a quick stop at Ross Castle. Our driver, Damian, was friendly and knowledgeable. Between letting them sit in the front and even drive the carriage, Damian was very kind to our daughters. Would definitely recommend booking with them!

Great experience with lots of history. Let the kids ride up front which was a real treat. Covered carriage kept us dry in the rain! Thanks for a lovely time.

Highly recommend. John and Colin were amazing. John was so knowledgeable and hilarious. He gave us the lowdown on everything and had us cracking up. Sit on the left side when entering for the best views. Our horse Ginger was so beautiful.

The jaunting car experience was part of our tour with Royal Irish tours. The horse and jaunting cars (buggies) picked us up directly at her hotel which was fabulous. The drivers were incredibly friendly and entertaining during our experiences. The horses were very well looked after. It was a fun way to experience this Irish town for one and a half hours.

This jaunting car tour is a fun way to see parts of the national park you might otherwise miss if you're focused on The Sights (Ross Castle, Muckross Abbey, Torc Waterfall, etc). Damian, our driver, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He even called us ahead of time to tell us where we could park for free.

Our trip through the National Park was amazing . Damien who was driving the cart was very knowledgeable. He explained to us the history of the park and the surrounding areas. To see the red deers was a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this trip

This was an awesome tour, great way to get an introduction to the park before venturing out on our own. Molly, our horse, was beautiful. Guide was fantastic, called to confirm pickup details, told us about the park and our related trip plans and gave us recommendations for the rest of the day as well as stopping to take pics of our group. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
