By far one of my favorite things we did in Ireland. - We had perfect weather for our Jaunting Car ride through the park. Our driver was part if the family and very informed about the area and different areas in the park as well as the history of his families company. We had a great time.

Fantastic and Entertaining Ride Through Killarney National Park - We had a great time on our jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park on Monday, May 6th. Vishnu drove our car pulled by Casey the horse. Vishnu was fun and funny! He gave us a list of great restaurant options for dinner and shared his extensive knowledge of Killarney and the park. We also got to talk about horses! I highly recommend taking a jaunting car tour from Killarney Jaunting Cars! If you're lucky you'll get Vishnu and Casey!

Must do in Killarney! - What an amazing 90 mins we had with James and his house Megan We were travelling with two small boys and James was super kind and caring with them and really did not mind their many questions and occasional over excitement. The jaunt around the National Park was so lovely even on a gloomy rainy day in April. The deer were a real treat to see in the wild. The stop at Ross Castle was really lovely too. Short and sweet. HIghly recommend if you are visiting Killarney. We picked the ride up from outside the Outlet Centre/Southern Hotel

Our Favorite Experience - My husband and I went with two of our daughters to Ireland and saw so many things and all agreed the jaunty car ride was our favorite. The guide was Louis and his horse Sweetie. Louis was funny and quick with stories and information we will always remember. “ABC” was used throughout our trip. We wouldn’t have made the ride at all without Laura who went above and beyond to make sure we made it. Thank you Louis! Highly recommend this company!

Disappointing. - Very disappointing!!! We received notice a little less than 24 hours in advance that our tour was cancelled. We pre booked this adventure weeks before we left the States and were very excited after reading the reviews. We just received an email about the cancellation with no explanation. If I hadn’t been checking it regularly while away, I would have missed this completely. Weather was beautiful, so it wasn’t the reason for cancellation. We did receive a full refund, but we weren’t able to book anything else with that short of notice which meant we missed going into Killarney National Park.
