A delightful way to see the park and castle! - We had such a great time with our guide John and his horse Samson! He was very friendly and informative! He even told us a cheeky joke about the fallen tree in the park along the way ;) We had a delightful ride and then a stop at Ross Castle. John was very knowledgeable and greeted passersby as well. His recommendation for dinner at Tattler Jack's was spot on as well! We highly recommend taking this company's tour! It was so nice for me to relax and enjoy the views four once as I was the driver for all of our trip.

Phenomenal Experience - My daughter and I had the most beautiful experience with the horse carriage ride and the afternoon tea at the Great Killarney Hotel after that. Our charriottier Owen was a local from Killarney, super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the area and buildings. He took us through the park and we got to see so many deer that were in the creek drinking water. The drive though the national park was breathtaking. We had 15 minute stop at the Ross castle and that was a beautiful experience on its own. When we got back to the hotel, the tea table was all set up for us, such an exquisite experience. I wish we had something like that in the US. Besides the amazing teas, jams, jellies and Guiness stout bread, we were served mimosas and then, oh my goodness, each one of us was given this most beautiful three-tier arrangement with tea sandwiches, pastries, scones, desserts and fresh fruit. The most beautiful exquisite arrangement and super delicious. Our hostess was so sweet and attentive. I am truly grateful for this whole experience.

Truly amazing experience! - Had a fantastic time with Calvin and Maggie. Calvin was a 6th generation driver and Maggie was a spirited beauty who was the brains of the operation. I recommend taking this ride as it was full of great history and great way to see the park. A++++

We apparently got a dud. - We could hear the drivers in the carts in front and behind us regaling their passengers with stories and jokes. Our driver said basically nothing the whole time. I asked a couple of questions, which he briefly and politely answered, and the back to silence. Another passenger looked at me and said, “we got in the wrong wagon.” The 15 minute visit to Ross Castle grounds was short but ok. Overall it was a big disappointment.
