What To Expect
Ross Castle
The history of Ross Castle in Killarney is a story of war, rebellion, and restoration. The castle was built by the O’Donoghue clan in the 15th century as their stronghold and residence. It was later taken over by the McCarthy clan in the 16th century, after the O’Donoghues lost their lands in the Desmond rebellion. The castle was then besieged and captured by the English forces led by General Ludlow in 1652, after a long resistance by the Irish defenders. The castle was then leased to the Browne family, who became the Earls of Kenmare and lived there until the 19th century. The castle was finally restored by the Office of Public Works in the 20th century, and opened to the public as a museum and tourist attraction. The admission fee is €5 for adults and €3 for children.
Killorglin is a town in County Kerry, Ireland, with a population of 2,199. It is on the Ring of Kerry tourist route, and hosts the annual Puck Fair festival, which features a "king" wild goat.

5.00We had a wonderful and informative trip with Kris around the Ring of Kerry on October 6, 2025. Kris was very flexible throughout the entire day and shared many interesting facts and stories. We would definitely recommend using Kris for your travels in Ireland. We wish we could have used him for other portions of our trip. The day went by quickly and it was a joy leaving the driving yo Kris. We highly recommend Kris for the Ring of Kerry and I am sure he is just as outstanding on his other outings. Enjoy your trip.

5.00My wife, daughter, sister in law and I were treated to a delightful and educational tour of the ring of Kerry with Kris M. Tours. We experienced the Bog village, watched the amazing Tom O’Sullivan put his sheepdog through its paces , were wind blown on the Cliffs of Kerry and learned about Irish culture past and present. The whole experience was delightful! We had only positive experiences. If you go, note that the attractions require a fee which supports people whose livelihoods depend on tourism.Just fyi. Thank you Kris! Your knowledge and professionalism are top notch.
We weren’t the main priority.

2.00Polite but not interested in us. Never asked names. I requested to turn up sound, back of van difficult to hear sound. Long spans of no information “I have nothing more to say.” Driver could not hear questions being asked him in the van. Never offered a microphone for those which I found out afterwards was available. There was a language and knowledge translation difference that made the tour difficult at times. We’ve been in Ireland three times so we had some knowledge. Driver was polite, van very comfortable, water much appreciated. He completed the tour within his time specifications.
Great driver guide for family trip

5.00Kris was an excellent driver and guide. He customized our day to optimize our group’s interests and stay ahead of the weather forecast. The tour was amazing with great stops for our kids to keep them engaged and amazing views. The cliffs of Kerry are incredible. Doing this with a driver guide made the day much more enjoyable so we could relax and enjoy it instead of worrying about the driving and trying to determine what stops to make and how much time to spend at each place. Would high recommend Kris for any of his tours.
A perfect option

5.00We were able to customize so that we didn’t duplicate with other activities and saw things the big tour buses couldn’t get to. Very nice day.
Calm, beautiful day

5.00The trip was perfect - we drove down from Limerick, and our driver, Peter, told us where to park for free. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and never made us feel rushed. We saw numerous beautiful sites, learned more about life in the area, and enjoyed the day.
Touring with Kris is a "can't miss"!

5.00Our day with Kris was simply fantastic and sure to be the highlight of our 10-day visit to Ireland! Kris is quite knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating. The scenery is fantastic and only made better by Kris' descriptions of the history and traditions of the area. Thanks again Kris, and we hope to see you again soon!

5.00Our family had an amazing time with Kris on the Ring of Kerry tour. He was very knowledgeable about Irish history and shared many interesting facts along the journey. We had a beautiful day and saw much more than we would have on a bus tour. Also it was a lot less stressful and more enjoyable to have him driving so we could focus on the beautiful scenery.
