Slea Head drive in Dingle is a must! - We had a wonderful time seeing all the sites on Slea Head Drive, without having to worry about driving on the left, finding parking, or navigating narrow roads. Our guide Rory was awesome, full of great information and history, super friendly and professional, and was even asking us if there was a site we wanted to see that we had heard about. The scenery was breathtaking. We would highly recommend this tour!

Such a fun and informative tour! - We had considered driving the Dingle peninsula ourselves but decided we wanted someone to tell us about it. Des did a great job, and we learned a lot both about the culture and history and about Ireland in general. The minibus fits 11 people so it’s not a huge tour, and we got to all the best stops along the way. Holding the baby lambs was a real highlight and yes - the brownies are the best ever. You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent tour - A great tour and experience! The views are outstanding and the driver very knowledgeable about the area (and very safe driver on some crazy tight roads). My daughter loved holding the baby lambs and touching the ocean with her toes (well up to her knees). Highly recommend this tour, you cannot be treated better!

Slea Head Drive Tour - 3 hours in a mini bus - The scenery was stunning and Rory's commentary was most interesting. Many opportunities to ask questions. Spotless mini bus.
