Great Tour!!! - What a great tour!! The sites were absolutely stunning. I have done a lot of bus tours and the guide is always the main factor in having a positive or negative experience. Kevin was absolutely wonderful! He recommended a horse and carriage tour while in Killarney that was fantastic. He gave us all the information we needed and kept everyone laughing all day long. Thank you, Kevin, for an amazing experience!!!

Excellent tour!! - It was fantastic! Our driver, Brian, was such an amazing guide and he made the journey so much fun. There were several stops along the way and all of them were fantastic (although I wished we could have had more time in some rather than in others). It really was an excellent trip and I would highly recommend it!

Mick Mack Paddy Wacker ! - Fabulous, friendly tour with the amazing Kevin as our driver. Great craic throughout the journey and a great sense of humour including the constant humorous barbs at us poor Brits. Lucky we’re running away with the league ! Amazing places, views to die for and incredibly Irish hospitality before returning back to Cork “the capital of Ireland”. Loved everything about it. Would I do it again ? In a heartbeat. Thanks Kevin from Julie and Phil from Liverpool

Great tour! - Great tour and Brian was an amazing driver! Nice stops along the road for taking photos and I always felt like I had enough time. If you get easily motion sick, make sure you sit towards the front of the bus. There are some very winding snd bumpy roads, so be prepared!

In Killarney it was 16 euros to ride the horse and carriage ride to see cathedral etc. we didn’t have cash so we couldn’t go on them. Then another cost 7 euros to go in a museum village but not much time and was cash only. I think it should be noted to bring cash for additional tours at stops.

Scenery is gorgeous but lots of tourist stops - The scenery was stunning, but to be honest the tour itself was a bit of a disappointment. As many others have commented, this is a long day, with a lot of time spent on the bus. There are frequent photo and rest stops, but the day was still about 10 hours long so beware if this is a concern for you or anyone in your group. Our driver kept us on a very tight schedule which I can understand, but some of the stops were extremely touristy, an added (and unexpected!) cost, and not good value for your money. You have very little, if any time to “do your own thing” as most stops are 20 minutes or less and you have to stay close to the bus. If flexibility is something you’re looking for, skip the tour and do the drive yourself. Its a beautiful part of the country, but this tour may not be for everyone.

Do not book- spend extra for a private tour. - Awful! Just a way to get money for small towns along the way. Driver Stephen was rude. The information he shared was misleading or incorrect. Would stop but not enough time to enjoy anything. We saw a lady throw her ice cream way because it was time to leave.
