10/10 would recommend, Mike was a great guide

5.00This was an amazing experience. Mike, the guide, was fantastic and gave great tidbits about the history, lore, and context of various spots around the Ring. He answers any questions you have and gets on great with everyone. There are a number of pullover spots for photos and then a few longer stops which included a lovely restaurant for lunch midway through. The views were absolutely gorgeous. We left right on time at 10:15 and returned a little after 3 (this will be traffic and weather dependent). This worked out great because you are returned right to main street of Killarney so you can explore, grab food, and catch some live music later in the night. Highly recommend.
The best experience of the Ring of Kerry

5.00This tour had it all — ocean views, Torc waterfall, views of Dingle Peninsula and more. We even saw a full rainbow from The Ladies View point! The stop at Watervillle not only had incredible seaside views, but it also included a lunch stop with the best seafood chowder at Dooley’s restaurant in Waterville. Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable and kind. If there was something spontaneous that happened during the tour, he gave us the time to explore and enjoy it. Overall, it was an incredible experience and favourite part of my Ireland trip.

5.00You get to see so much natural beauty and plenty of stops for photos! We lucked out with a sunny Ireland day which made it even better. Michael was our tour guide and he was fantastic - lots of knowledge shared throughout the entire day. If you don’t want to rent a car yourself this was absolutely perfect!
What a wonderful day!

5.00The tour was a bit under seven hours long, with several stops for photos, lunch, and shopping. Denis (our driver and guide) was very knowledgeable, told great jokes, and drove expertly on the legendary Ring of Kerry—better him than me. I’m not much for superlatives, but the views of County Kerry are possibly the most breathtaking I’ve ever seen and not to be missed. Highly recommended.

5.00It was truly a wonderful tour. Dennis was especially responsible, kind, and gave very detailed explanations. The Irish music he played in the middle was also something new and refreshing for me. I enjoyed the trip without any stress, and I would love to travel with this company again.
A must do

5.00Incredible day tour. Our driver/guide Batt was the best! He was so funny, insightful, and professional. A true local (as is the company, which is grand). All in all the tour itinerary was great. Do expect to pay for additional excursions along the way (we brought about 100 euro just in case). We did all of the additional demos/excursions/lunch along the way and were happy we did. (Ps we are a mid 20s couple from the us, without a rental car).
