Enjoyable Ring of Kerry tour - Our driver, Aisley, was great. She was engaging and flexible with the route. Highly recommend. The van had a few challenges with the doors, but the ride was very comfortable.

Wonderful Ring of Kerry Tour - We enjoyed our day with Shelia! She shared fun stories and explained some of the history of the area. There were numerous stops on our trip with breathtaking views and Shelia made sure to accommodate our requests. We would definitely take this tour again!

Amazing private Kerry tour - We had a wonderful day thanks in most part to our tour guide Sheila . She was delightful and beyond the beautiful views from cliffs, valleys and even a. Forest showed us some unique things we loved. We saw a small exhibition of how a sheepdog/border collie is trained to herd sheep.. really amazing and saw at another place a small historical village recreated from the 1800’s.. a full day and so so glad we did not pick to drive ourselves .. relaxing and had some unique adventures. Would highly recommend .

Ring of Kerry - awesome - Sean was our driver and he was wonderful and so knowledgeable. The drive he took us on a bus could not do. From the sheepdog experience to the cliffs of Kerry (absolutely stunning) through all the little hamlets with many stops for pictures. One of our best days in Ireland so far.

Ring of Kerry Private Tour - Jim was fabulous. He brought us to places large tour buses can’t get to. We learned so much from him about the history of every place we stopped at. And, he took so many pictures of us. It was a very memorable and fantastic day!

What a wonderful day! - Ireland is a beautiful country. Jim did a great job showing us the typical Ring of Kerry sites. But because of his knowledge of the area he took us to more hidden spots down by the coast and up in the hills. We could really experience the beauty and culture of Ireland.

Going that extra mile to make the Ring shine - We took the Ring of Kerry Private day tour on one of the most beautiful Saturdays in May. While a big draw for us was just the scenery in general, one of the particular points of interest for us was to get out to Valentia Island to see the Tetrapod Trackway, because those little fish with feet are my oldest Irish ancestry. Thing is, that's not the easiest tour to find, either on its own or with the RoK included. And even when it's mentioned, not everyone will do it. Enter Joe. It was a busy, beautiful Saturday, and he happily showed us the sights as the RoK is all about the scenery. We stopped to see a sheepdog demonstration, which was great, some ring forts and generally beautiful views toward Dingle. Then we turned off at Port Magee and went over to Valentia Island. First of all, what a wild place that is. The RoK itself of course has some wild spots between the cliffs and valleys and all that in between... but Valentia is something else entirely. I did not think places like this could exist in the same small patch of earth. There's waves crashing on exposed rock (that have 370 MILLION YEAR OLD FISH FOOTPRINTS. WITH TAIL DRAGGY MARKS.) There are clumps of grass and dianthus and mud and gravel and clay falling from the shoreline that sure LOOKS like it should be dunes but it really isn't, it's clay and gravel and mud and dianthus and grass, that holds back walls that hold in cattle that look like they belong in such a rough environment but you still wonder how they move around without breaking their legs, and finally there are houses and small roads and a quarry on top of it all. And I believe that not every tour company would take you out here even if you asked... but Joe did without question (he also said not many folks ask. It is a steep but well maintained walk. And it's amazing. People, go talk to Deirdre and Joe at Killarney Executive tours and let them know you want to see these foot prints. For real. They're magical.) The Ring of Kerry is magical, Valentia is a gem on the edge of it, and Joe was a phenomenal guide. He was patient, had a wonderfully comfortable van, he knew what he was doing and where he was going, and my parents were bushed by the end of the trip and he dropped us off right in front of our self catering apartment at the hotel, which they appreciated.

Amazing Tour! - I am so glad I decided to do a private tour of the Ring of Kerry instead of taking a bus. I got to see so many small out of the way places and drive on remote roads at my own pace. The scenery was amazing and the guide/driver was so kind. I loved every moment of the tour. The Kerry cliffs, “Ladies View and the Waterfall being my favorites. But I also loved just driving through the mountains on the narrow roads. What a beautiful experience.
