- Conor Pass - Conor Pass rises 456 feet vertically from the sea, to serve as a passageway between the Sliabh Mish Range and Mount Brandon. It is Ireland’s highest mountain road. This winding, alpine route offers breathtaking views for those brave enough to travel the precipitous road where Blackface Mountain sheep are more abundant than cars. The pass’s summit offers breathtaking views of Brandon Bay to the north and Dingle Bay to the south. As we move on, the landscape transitions to a deep glacial cirque, dotted with magnificent alpine lakes and waterfalls. Many travellers skip this route because it is difficult, but with Mossie’s Tours, you are free to sit back and enjoy the view.

- We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Massie. We had two days with him, both of which he picked us up at our location and arrived promptly for us to depart.
On our first day with him, our family of 6 (2 and 8 year old boys, my wife and I, and her parents) took off on an 8 hour adventure around the Ring of Kerry. The weather was unfortunately not the best that day and the trip was the same day as a bike race, but Mossie knew the area so well he was able to get us around the heavily trafficked areas of bikers. When driving he was engaging to all of us in the car, giving a history of the area, from its people to its soil, and the impact history has had on its people. He took us to epic views that we peaked through clouds to see and felt like we had experienced them all through Mossie’s descriptions, and he made sure we were well fed with stops at some of the best local fare we’d had and wonderful chocolate.
On our second day through the Dingle Peninsula we got the long awaited family photos we’d been hoping for with the perfect Ireland backdrop. Mossie also took my wife and I up with our 8 year old to hike to a hidden lake and that’s the scene from this photo with Mossie and our son.
Our fondest memories of this trip though will be getting to know Mossie, him sharing a couple of his songs with us, letting us feel connected to Ireland, and the kindness he shared with us. Can’t recommend him enough!

Two Day Custom Tour with Helen - I'm already hoping for another tour with Helen on my next trip to Ireland! Communication was great from the get-go. I was planning a specialized two day tour that took us from Limerick, Dingle, Tralee and south to Gougane Barra. Helen took my wishes into planning each day including a private tour of a sheep dog demonstration (amazing!) and a stop at a ring fort. Since Helen is from the area, she knew all the places to go and the locals, too! We stopped for a quick lunch overlooking the Blasket Islands where we saw a nearby wedding taking place--it was such a great day! We also visited Killarney National Park including Torc Waterfall and also Muckross Abbey. We went south to a fairy stone circle and lunch in Kenmare. This two day tour was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Highly recommend!

Personal tour of Conor Pass/Slea Head plus so much more! - Amazing, personal tour around Conor Pass and Slea Head with Helen. Spent a whole day experiencing the hidden gems and hearing the history and legends about the area - we didn't want the day to end! Wonderful to leave the driving to a pro for one day and just be immersed in the area.... would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best tour and best tour guide ever! - The tour was wonderful. Great scenery of course, but so much more. Mossie is a font of Irish history and folklore. He is a local so knows the area. But he is also a world traveller and a scholar. The tour was interspersed with poems and songs as well as personal reminiscences. We strolled on beaches and clambered up a hill to an ice-age lake. It was truly a delightful day!
In closing I would noothat Mossie was also the most accommodating guide we have ever had. We started with a stop at a laundromat and ended by picking up our clothes before driving to our B&B. We parted friends and hope to see each other again.

MARVELOUS MOSSIE AND HELEN - AMAZING! My 2 friends and I spent 1 full and 2 half days with Mossie and Helen and they were a highlight of our trip to Ireland. They are both so knowledgeable, interesting, fun, adventurous, accommodating, connected (they seemed to know everyone on the Dingle Peninsula), and they deeply love their country and its rich history. We learned a great deal about Ireland's past and present. We also went off the beaten path to explore and wander and wonder. We all consider Mossie and Helen our friends now and cannot recommend them enough you want a true, Irish experience and a whale of a great time.

An Amazing Tour!! - This tour was a total highlight of our trip! From gorgeous stops to fascinating history, Mossie catered the drive to our interests and was the best guide we could hope for: funny, kind, and full of stories about the area. I’m so glad we took Mossie’s tour instead of driving Slea Head Drive ourselves. We wouldn’t have learned nearly as much - or had nearly as much fun!
I also appreciated how easy Mossie and Helen made the planning process. The company communicated quickly, and we really appreciated the flexible start time! Mossie also gave great recommendations on what to do for the rest of our stay in Dingle and even gave some tips for the Ring of Kerry and Northern Ireland. I’d recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

Wonderful experience! - What a wonderful day spent with Mossie on our tour through Dingle!
We were picked up from our BnB in Killarney and regaled with historical facts and funny anecdotes on the hour long drive to Dingle area. We visited Connors Pass and drove Slea Head Drive. We learned about the beehive huts and snuggled some baby lambs! All along the ride Mossie provided amazing commentary and answered all of our questions about the area. He catered the tour to our interests and took us to many historical ruins that we hadn't even heard of! By the end of the day we felt like we had made a new friend!
If you're looking for a comfortable ride with a knowledgeable and charming guide, please book with Mossie.

Dingle Ireland - Our guide Tony was full of history and knowledge of Ireland. He took us to beautiful beaches and museums and of course a couple of pubs. It was a ten of an experience!

A Perfect day in Dingle peninsula - Fantastic day in the magical Dingle peninsula. Helen was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about history, landscape, culture, and all things mystical in Dingle. This was my second visit here and I learned so much more about it and it enjoyed it even more with an experienced guide. She tailored the day to our interests and was patient and accommodating with my photographic impulses to stop (safely) on a dime so I could get the perfect shot!
My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our day experiencing Dingle with Helen. It was a Perfect day!
Will do it again!
Thanks Helen!
