Damien + Daisy: A Perfect Tour - We had a lovely ride through Killarney National Park with Damien and Daisy! Before the tour, communication with Damien was clear and easy. The tour was beautiful - Damien is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He pointed out wildlife we would have missed and made sure to give us time for photos. What stands out most to me, however, is his care of and for Daisy, and the passion and knowledge he speaks of all his horses with. You can tell he isn't just another fella with a pony and a cart, and that makes all the difference. Highly, highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour of Killarney National Park - A fantastic tour with McCarthy Killarney Carriage Rides today. A family run business which clearly shows their love for their work and incredible in depth knowledge of the National Park’s history. We also loved hearing about the horse Maggie, she did a brilliant job today. Could not recommend this tour more, will be recommending to anybody we speak to. A truly friendly and enjoyable experience. Thank you so much.

Have Fun (and Learn Some Stuff)! - A fabulous experience for any newcomer to Killarney! Damien (and Daisy, of course!) provided us with a wonderful tour of the National Park, along with a great historical review of the park and its iconic ruins. (And Damien gave us great suggestions for our ongoing club crawl as well as some other sites to see)! Strongly recommend this tour!

Great way to see the park - Damian was very knowledgeable and we learned and saw a lot. Daisy was a great horse and the carriage was comfortable and big enough to hold 10 of us. Highly recommend!
