Great trip! - We had such an amazing tour, guided by Peter! We were so pleased with how comfortable and clean the van was. Peter was extremely knowledgeable, drove safely, and recommended a great lunch spot!! We would definitely recommend this tour. Some stops: Kerry Cliffs, Torc Waterfall, Kells Sheepdog, and The Bridge Bar for lunch!

Peter was absolutely... - Peter was absolutely fantastic--so knowledgeable, friendly, generous with his time and an excellent driver. He went above and beyond to make the day stress-free and recommended little stops along the way that he thought would be interesting to us as we chatted in the car (a highlight for us was a sheepdog demonstration that he suggested after learning my parents are huge animal lovers!). It was amazing to drive both the ring of Kerry and the Skellig ring which is only accessible by car. I booked this tour as a gift for my parents' 40th anniversary and it was worth every penny--a really unforgettable day.

Take. The. Private. Tour! - We booked a private tour of the Ring of Kerry for two couples. This has got to be the top thing we did in Ireland. Peter was phenomenal. We got picked up at our hotel, he tailored the day to what we wanted to do and we had the best time. He was very knowledgeable about Ireland and made sure we had first class service at every stop. From knowing where the best bathrooms were to the best views and places to eat. We cannot gush enough about our experience. We would recommend this tour with Peter without hesitation. We'd give him 10 stars!

A MUST DO Tour when in Killarney! - This is another Five Star +++ Review for Peter Stanly Tours. Piotr J. was our tour guide and we could not have asked for anyone better than him. He allowed us to customize the tour to include additional stops and sites and allowed us to do it at our own pace. The suggested sites were definitely must sees for the Ring of Kerry. Piotr was very informative about every area we ventured into and we learned so much on the history and culture of Ireland. He shared many personal stories of himself and his lifestyle in Ireland that makes us want to become a part of the Irish culture. We were picked up at the Randle Hotel ( 5-stars as well) at 9:30am and dropped off 10+ hours later, leaving us with a desire to do it all over again! Best experience you could imagine!

- This tour was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide Kris was prompt, knowledgeable, entertaining, and made this a memorable trip. He took us to some of the most beautiful sites in Kerry, ranging from a small village, a sheep demonstration, Kerry cliffs, and more. Additionally, my Fiancé and I got engaged on this trip and Kris went out of his way to accommodate, by taking us to the perfect spot, taking pictures, and setting up a beautiful space for us to celebrate. Many thanks to Peter Stanley tours and Kris for making this an incredible day for us! I would highly recommend to anybody who is looking for a one of a kind experience while in Kerry.

Not What We Were Expecting - We’ve taken private day tours in the past—in Rome and, more recently, in Barcelona. They were rich with history, culture, and folklore. A feast for the eyes and ears. Based on those experiences, we signed up for a Ring of Kerry tour with high expectations. The good news: The driver’s skills were excellent. Even on impossibly narrow, winding roads through dense fog, we never felt unsafe. His driving was calm and confident. The not-so-good: We were hoping for commentary on Irish history, culture, and folklore. Instead, the narrative was light, anecdotal, and far from educational. We were picked up in a cab, not a tour van. A hula dancer figurine bobbed on the dashboard, and the driver smelled of smoke. He was friendly—about our age (we’re 75)—but his constant refrain, “You know what I mean?” punctuated by elbow nudges, grew tiresome over the seven-hour day. The weather didn’t help. Fog, rain, and low clouds blanketed much of the scenic route. Visibility was sometimes under 100 feet. The driver tried to compensate with remarks like, “If you could see it, that mountain is breathtaking,” or, “The cliffs to the right are even more stunning than the Cliffs of Moher.” Unfortunately, we never saw them. Historical insights were minimal. For instance, in Killorglin we passed the stand used during the Puck Fair, where a goat is displayed. But the background of the tradition (a 17th-century warning of danger during Cromwell’s pillaging) wasn’t shared. We only learned that later from a jaunting car driver on a different tour. As for lunch, the driver took us to his “favorite” spot—a dingy corner bar that lacked toilet paper in the women's bathroom. We suspect it was run by a friend. We opted to eat elsewhere and were glad we did. This tour was as expensive as others we've enjoyed—but sadly, it didn’t measure up. Disappointing from start to finish. We do not recommend.
