Wonderful! - Helen led our small group of friends on the half day Dingle tour, it was better than we could have imagined. We learned so much about the history and culture of the beautiful people and country of Ireland! It was a pure delight, I highly recommend this tour!

BOOK THIS TOUR 1000/10 AMAZING - If you do anything in Dingle, BOOK THIS TOUR! Don't drive the Slea Head Peninsula yourself, it is so worth the money and we learned so much. I cannot begin to express how fun and amazing the tour was. We had Mossie as our driver, and he picked us up at our Airbnb, and dropped us off at a lunch spot he recommended in town at the end. He is so incredibly knowledgeable about the area and all the spots we went to. My husband and married friends had been in Europe for 2 weeks at this point, at this tour was the biggest highlight and our most favorite thing we did. The scenery is absolutely beautiful - he takes you to parts you might not necessarily go by yourself, and it is 100% amazing. He gave us history on Ireland, talked about his childhood which was so interesting, drove for the production of Star Wars so had so much to tell us about that experience. He even saved parts for us to discover ourselves. He would bring us to a place and let us explore, and we were treated to a very unexpected, BEAUTIFUL surprise (I feel as thought it should always be that way so none of my pictures ruin the surprise). He took pictures of our group for us, and made sure there were bathrooms breaks. One of the people on our tour is a big potter, and he took us to a local pottery store where we ended up spending quite a bit of money. This is well worth the price, and an unforgettable memory for the 4 of us. Our most favorite part of the tour was at one of the stops overlooking this beautiful staircase that led to the ocean and a great view of the Giant sleeping, and he recited a poem for us. With the winds of Ireland blowing around you, and his majestic Irish voice, my husband almost cried. It was beautiful and unexpected and we truly loved EVERY SINGLE MINUTE on this trip. *For people who are worried about being carsick, we had two of the most dramatically car sick people in our group, and neither one of them got sick at all. As you can tell by this review, we absolutely loved the Slea head drive tour, and could not recommend Mossie's Tours enough!! Cannot wait to take family back and go on the trip again to watch them experience it first hand.

Touring with Mossie is a must-do when visiting Dingle - We had a wonderful morning with Mossie. He is a very experienced guide -- funny, knowledgeable, great conversationalist and kept a relaxed pace with lots of time for us to enjoy each stop. He showed us lots of beautiful places that we enjoyed all the more for not having to worry about driving the narrow roads. We loved touring with Mossie and very highly recommend!!

Marvellous Tour by Mossie! - Mossie pulled up to our B&B and immediately with his big smile, we knew it was going to be a glorious tour :) He regaled us with Irish history, humour, and song. It was evident on how much he loved his country and his intimate knowledge of the land, its history and culture. Along the route, he stopped at the perfect locations allowing us to explore and take pictures. We never felt rushed. We knew some history, however, after our 4 hour tour with him, we wished we could have just taken him with us for the remainder of our Ireland Adventure. We would highly recommend Mossie’s Tours and thank you again Mossie for a wonderful excursion! Your Friends from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada

Great Tour and Tour Guide!! - I highly recommend this tour. Helen was an amazing tour guide who provided us with the history of the area throughout the tour. She was prompt and has a wonderful personality. Tour is reasonably priced. Definitely worth having someone else do the driving so you can really enjoy the scenery.

Wonderful tour and guide - My husband, daughter (13), and mother (63) spent a wonderful afternoon with Mossie, probably the highlight of our trip. We asked him to lead the way (although he welcomed requests), and he was such a kind person, with a wealth of knowledge about the area and Ireland in general. I had originally planned to do this drive myself but am so grateful I decided not to. I was very comfortable driving in Ireland, but would have missed out on so many views and information. All in all, a really great way to see the Dingle Peninsula, and I highly recommend the experience!

Perfect tour. - Helen, our guide, was excellent in taking us to "hallowed" places such as a sacred spring/well as well as a potter's shop that I had seen online. The four hours flew by within this breathtaking yet comforting area of Ireland. Her kindness and knowledge was appreciated.
