What a great experience - We had The best driver in Ireland! He picked us up on time and we settled in the car. Joe took us to the best places and showed us great sights. Joe is a wonderful guide and knew all the shop workers. He kindly told us which places were more of a tourist trap and which places were a better deal, family owned type places. We’re not the chattiest group but Joe talked the perfect amount and let some of our group nod off for a quick nap at other times. We felt so comfortable with Joe. I would definitely book with Joe again and would definitely recommend him to other travelers.

Excellent and caring tour guide. - Joseph is very knowledgeable, gregarious, and caring. He took us to places off the bus routine. He adapted the trip to suit our needs and preferences. The trip was awesome!

Best private tour guide for Killarney area! Can’t recommend Joe enough! - Joe was incredible! I wasn’t sure what all we could squeeze in for the day and he suggested the Ring of Kerry. His communication was excellent leading up to the tour even suggesting accommodations that we ended up loving! He was prompt, car was immaculate, and he had everything we forgot to bring (husband forgot sunglasses). Each stop we made was evident that he was well respected in the area and his knowledge was very informative. We never felt pressured to leave when we were enjoying walking around, his stops were well planned out and efficient. This was great because we only had one full day in the area. He took us to places where the buses couldn’t go. We had a car rented and considered making this tour ourselves and I am so glad we chose to use Joe instead. We were able to sit back and relax with a professional driver who loved and knew the area and its history. The pictures we captured and the memories we made, we will never forget. The big bus would’ve been disappointing compared to what we were able to experience. Thank you, Joe, for making our day the best day of our week in Ireland!

Wonderful guide to show you all the highlights! - Joe was a wonderful tour guide!! I spent two days with him; we traveled around the Ring of Kerry and then drove up to the Dingle Peninsula. We saw all the highlights and hidden gems in two days. He looked ahead at the weather and planned events for each day to maximize my experience based on expected visibility/ rain. He suggested more ideas based on my interests and didn’t take it personally if I chose not to do one of his suggestions, which is exactly what I want! He gave lots of ideas and let me customize my trip. Joe is incredibly kind, easy to get along with, and very perceptive. I traveled alone as a young(ish) woman and was so glad that I chose Joe to show me around!

We cannot recommend booking this tour enough! Joe is FANTASTIC! - We had a fantastic day with Joe on the Ring of Kerry. The weather didn't cooperate, but Joe made the trip fantastic! He took us to many places off the main bus route that we would have never seen without him. We stopped at beaches, museums, local pubs where the locals eat, and even stopped for homemade ice cream for the kids. Joe wasn't watching the clock all day and wanted to ensure we had plenty of time and a great tour. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with Joe. We left feeling like we had made a new friend. His Mercedes is comfortable with plenty of room for 4. The next time we are in the area, we will definitely book with Joe again.

1st Trip to Ireland Couldn't Have Been Better! - Our first trip to Ireland couldn't have been better and it was all because of Joe Long. His private tour was taylored to our every need. He found an excellent hotel for us at a wonderful price. Joe took us to off the beaten paths to incredible little restaurants, castles, and breath taking scenery. As a tour guide he is unbeatable!

Joe Long is the best private tour. He is above and beyond helpful. He is a ten star rating in our book!! - Oh my goodness!! Where do I start with Joe Long! He is not a 5 star, he is a perfect Ten!!!! From the moment that I contacted him, he was very quick to get back to me with pricing and details. He was willing to do not only the Ring of Kerry but the next day also do Dingle Peninsula. And..... the brave chap also did a 3rd day to explore Killarney Park and take us to our next adventure location! Joe helped me to plan how to arrange transport from Dublin down to Kerry Airport. He also helped to choose a place for us to stay and the place he chose was amazing the breakfasts were great! Mr Long selected great places for us to eat that were off the beaten path very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Even took us to a beach so that we could get our feet wet in the water because it was such a warm and lovely day. He had his work cut out for him with our group as it was like herding a bunch of turtles. He really went above and beyond. He listens to what you like and does his best with the alloted time to get accomplished what you won't see on the big bases. Before we even went on the trip I felt like I already had an Irish best friend with him! Joe is so kind and professional. He knows the place well! If we go back, I would call him up in a heart beat! You won't find any more professional, kind true gentleman than this!!!

Best Private Ring of Kerry Tour - My wife and I toured the Ring of Kerry with Joe as part of our trip to Ireland for the Notre Dame game, and it was a wonderful day of sightseeing and learning. Joe was courteous, professional and very attentive to our needs and he constantly pointed out things and added history along the drive. Seeing the Kerry Cliffs, having an Irish coffee at the Red Fox with the Kerry Bog Village, and watching the sheepdogs at work was amazing! Lunch in Portmagee was a wonderful way to break up the drive, followed by delicious chocolate sampling at the Skelligs chocolate factory. You HAVE to have the ice cream in Sneem! The admissions costs, when needed, at some of the stops were very reasonable. Joe did a wonderful job and made our day one we'll never forget! Highly recommend!

Family of Four Ring of Kerry - Joe was a great tour guide, knew a lot of the area as well has had helpful tips for other places in the country we were going.

Great day touring the Ring of Kerry! - Joe was great, super knowledgeable and professional. He had a really nice car and was an excellent driver. Fun day touring the ring of Kerry and it's awesome even in the rain... We had an awesome time! Hints if you book this: I might suggest skipping the Kerry Bog Village and instead spending more time at the gorgeous Kerry cliffs and beaches as we personally are more interested in seeing the views and scenic spots (or you might want to walk around one of the super cute villages we passed through). There's a lot to try to fit into the day, so choose wisely as Joe is quite flexible in the time allotted. The sheepdog demo was awesome! I would also suggest perhaps looking ahead to find other restaurants in portmagee if u have special dietary needs, as the chosen restaurant is great and has very tasty food, but not much for non traditional diets (which is not at all a criticism). Great day overall with a great guide/driver!
