5.00After driving The Cliffs of Moher ourselves from Galway we decided to look into a guided tour of The Ring of Kerry. Calling Mary was the best decision we ever made! Not to mention that we called her the day before our anticipated tour date. We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private guided tour of the Ring of Kerry with Mary from Guided Tours with Mary G, and it was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Mary brought the route to life with her energy, warmth, and incredible knowledge. She didn’t just take us to the well-known spots, she introduced us to hidden treasures like Portmagee, Valentia Island, Kerry Cliffs, Skelligs Ring, Sneem, Torc Waterfall, and even treated us to a stop at the Skelligs Chocolate Factory. Each stop came with stories, history, and local insight that only someone with Mary’s experience could provide. Mary is personable, fun, and truly passionate about sharing Ireland’s beauty. Her impressive life experience and deep connection to the area shine through in every moment. Simply put, she is the supreme guide of Ireland, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re visiting and want the best of the Ring of Kerry, book with Mary G, you won’t regret it!
Happy Family!

5.00Mary was informative and engaging. We learned a great deal about Ireland and the region. The ride was comfortable and we luckily had great weather to enjoy the sites. She was accommodating, allowing us to squeeze in the Cliffs of Kerry too.
Fantastic tour with Mary

She gave us many options in terms of stops for drinks and food. She was pleasure to get to know on our journey. We’d highly recommend her for the Ring of Kerry tour.

5.00We very much appreciated Mary’s wonderful knowledge of, and great driving skills, around the Ring of Kerry. We loved Valentia Island, the views of the Skellig Islands Ring, the ring fort and many other delightful photo stops, including the Killarney Golf Course. We saw evidence of ancient life on one of our stops. A well rounded tour with something for each of our participants. Thank you Mary G for a great tour.
Amazing!

5.00Mary was outstanding! She was so knowledgeable, personable, and open to flexing to do anything we wanted to do. We did not have the best weather which did not prevent her from providing us an amazing experience. I will be telling everyone coming to Ireland that she will have to be their guide.
One of a kind

4.00Mary was extremely knowledgeable and it felt like she had an answer for every question we asked. We definitely went to stops that you wouldn't reach by a tour bus and had a one of a kind experience. We enjoyed the tours and all the stops we made. We were anxious about driving ourselves so it was nice to have someone take that burden for us. However it felt like we were in a rush ALL the time- that might just have been my perspective though. I think the driving is just different here, faster paced.
A grand trip and very informative in the various areas.

5.00The Ring of Kerry tour was one of the highlights of our 5 week journey through England, Wales and Ireland. Our guide grew up in and still lives in the Killarney area so she has an abundance of information and history to share. She was very flexible as well, giving us extra time to see some of the sights.
Best way to tour the amazing ring of Kerry

5.00Mary is the best tour guide you can wish for. Full of energy, amazing stories, unlimited knowledge of the history and the area. Excellent driver and a big crack (which means fun locally) We were two adults and two young adults in her car. Very specious and convenient. Full day out with all the best spots.
