Highly recommend! - This is a wonderful tour. Our tour guide, Ger, and our driver, Jim were fantastic and very professional. Their goal was to give us the best experience possible and they succeeded. We had enough time to see everything! I recommend packing a lunch and enjoying a picnic or stroll along the shores of the ocean rather than eating with the group in the restaurant. Even though there was fog in the high areas of the mountains, the sights and experiences were amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

Incredibly amazing - I was recently in this place
Incredibly amazing
You can not lose this.
Full of beautiful corners.
I recommend going in the direction of the needles, to avoid the bus convoys.
Choose itinerary, and the days you have to visit the places.
Get up early!!
Greetings

Best bus trip I ever took!!! - Best bus tour I ever took!
Paul was super funny and knowledgeable on the history of Ireland. The bus was air conditioned and traditional Irish music was played while we drove through the countryside. At every stop he was very clear about the meeting place and time to return. We had a chance to eat lunch, buy souvenirs and get ice cream if we chose to. He stopped at several points throughout the trip so that everyone was able get a “photo-op” of the beautiful landscape. Also, he made sure that we had ample bathroom/stretch breaks throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour!

Say yes to the horse and carriage ride - My favorite parts of this tour was the horse and carriage ride through Killarney National Park and Torc Waterfall. You will need to have 15 Euros cash for each person riding, but there is also an ATM near, so you can use that if you forget.

Great tour! - John is the best tour guide/bus driver you could ask for. He is skilled at driving a tour bus on narrow winding and wet roads. He entertained us with stories, music and his Irish wit all day. Definitely recommend this trip!

Ring of Kerry Tour - The scenery on the Ring of Kerry was breath taking. I didn't know there were that many shades of green! The horse & buggy ride thru the National park was a lot of fun and worth the extra money. Although the tour indicated it was approx 11 hours a lot of that time was spent on the bus getting to other locations and the stops were often too short.
The guide Ger was OK. I found too much time on the bus was filled with silence and I would have appreciated more information on the sites we were seeing and other historic sites that we drove past. In her defense, the CD player did not work and she was having issues with the mic. She did sing 3 songs which were really lovely. The Bus driver was a very good driver.
