The reviews speak volumes of the experience:
Best Day Tour Ever - My wife and I had an absolutely delightful day with Mary as our guide around the Ring of Kerry. This wasn’t my first trip around the Ring, but by far it was the best. Mary is unique in her knowledge of the culture and history of Kerry, and of Ireland. I learned so many new things. If you have a question, Mary has the answer. She’s also has a wonderful sense of humor, we were laughing from beginning to end. One of the best things about the tour is how it’s tailored to what most interests you in the moment. You can spend more time with the things that interest you most. Never do you have to move on because a bus has to move on. We were also happy to discover that our guide is not only an excellent driver, but Mary’s had a very interesting life. My wife commented after the tour that she enjoyed the stories almost as much as the scenery. Loved, loved, loved this tour. Worth every penny, and then some. It was the highlight of our holiday in Ireland. Thanks to you, Mary, we’re now “happy as Larry.” (Reviewed on 2025-03-27)

As the day progresses, the skies begin to cloud over, hinting at the rain to come. This is the perfect time to transition from the open roads to the cozy interiors of Killarney’s charming cafes and museums. The Full-Day Ring of Kerry Tour offers a delightful alternative for those who prefer a guided experience with a touch of spontaneity. Starting at 10:30 AM, this tour provides a comprehensive look at the Iveragh Peninsula’s stunning landscapes, with stops at iconic locations like Ladies’ View.
One traveler shared their unforgettable experience:
I will never forget this tour!😊 - I did this tour on the last day of my Ireland trip, and it was the best last day I could have asked for! It ended my trip on such a good note. It was a really nice tour and the stops were fantastic! I will say the driver was a bit difficult to understand but when people mentioned it to him, he was very receptive and tried to help, such as turning up the microphone! We got so lucky with great weather and, as I said, our stops were great! John, our guide, clearly knew what he was doing on those narrow roads (I would have been panicking if I had to drive those myself), and I felt like I was in great hands! Our group was really small (only 9 total), so John even made a few extra stops for us! Not only was John and the tour great, but the other 8 people were also wonderful. We all had so much fun together, and I will never forget them! Overall, I am very pleased and had a great day! (Reviewed on 2025-02-23)
