5 stars for gorgeous scenery & "Zen-vibe" driver/guide, 4 stars for unclear pick-up point instructions - This was a loong day trip but the scenery was gorgeous! The coastal scene, the mountain scene, the country roads, the quaint little towns, very picturesque! The bus was not full so I was able to sit on the first row with a great, unobstructed view of the scenery through the front window of the bus, that was a plus :) We had a horse and buggy ride at Killarney National Park, our horse was Ruby Tuesday, her owner & our coachman was hilarious! Our coach bus driver/guide was Dave, a laid back, patient, "Zen-vibe," gentleman. It was impressive how he multi-tasked, driving those narrow, winding roads while also talking, giving us information and telling stories for almost 14 hours! I liked his "Ask Dave" portion where he passed a notebook so we can write our questions for him, he would answer them as he drove along, it was entertaining. The only constructive feedback I have is about the pick-up point of this tour. We got there earlier but was unsure whether we were at the right spot, there were some other people /tourists waiting but like us they were also uncertain if they were at the right pick-up point. It worked out ok in the end but it just seemed a bit disorganized and can definitely be improved on. I also assumed that the bus would have been at the pick-up point at least 10-15 minutes earlier than the departure time but it was not, they picked us up exactly at 6:30 am. A different tour company I used 2 days before had their coach bus at the pick-up point probably 30 minutes before departure, I think that was more efficient. Overall, though, it was a good tour with beautiful scenery and for a long drive like this, we couldn't have asked for a better driver/guide than Dave. The driver before him (there was a different driver during the first hour) told us we'd be in good hands with "gentle Dave," and he was certainly right. Dave didn't even ask for tips unlike others (we tipped him anyway). The gorgeous scenery and Dave were 5 stars, but 4 stars for the meeting point issue.

Not to be missed - We did a full day trip from Dublin to Kerry . It was excellent The tour guide / driver Gerry was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about his country. His commentary was interesting, funny at times and we'll paced ( leaving us time to nod off as needed!) He kept to the itinerary in a very timely fashion. The visit to Killarney was enhanced by the additional 'jaunting carts ' into the National Park. A highlight was our last stop in delightful sunshine - Inch Beach on the Dingle peninsula. Who knew you could surf in Ireland! An early start ( 6.30am ) and a return at 9pm meant that Gerry gave us a full day

Friends from Canada - Horse and buggy ride around the park was amazing. Our driver Dave was very friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely loved the views, and even dipped our toes in the water at Inch beach. Definitely will be back to Kerry

Long & Beautiful Day - Stops on this tour were VERY quick and the day was long. If you are able, I would recommend trying to rent a car to drive the entire Ring of Kerry or take longer than a day trip. However, the trip went as described and was beautiful. I would recommend taking the horse and carriage tour around the national park.

Grand time. - Would’ve loved to see the waterfall, one of the sights I was looking forward to. It I understand why we couldn’t go. Other than that it was a great trip and the guide was very funny and knowledgeable.

Very long day - This is a very long day, most of it spent on the bus. Killearney is beautiful - but not enough time there. The weather turned windy and rainy for the waterfall and beach stop - making them useless. You can’t control the weather but I wish we could have just stayed in killearney. Driver / tour guide was professional and entertaining.

Fun Tour But Not Enough Time for Everything - Th big highlight of this trip was Inch Beach and the driving around some of the Kerry cliffs at the very end. It’s a magnificent sight! But this trip is VERY rushed, understanding the distance limits you quite a bit. I do think you could cut the Adare Visitor Center visit to be able to spend more time around the Kerry cliffs (since you don’t get to do the Ring of Kerry which probably should be made more clear). Killarney was fun too but it requires much more time to fully appreciate the park, visit Muckross House, visit the castle ruins in the park, etc.

Very informative guide - I don’t think the stops were pretty enough to make up for the long drive. The guide was also the busdriver. He shared a lot of interesting information about the history of Ireland.

Rude Guide - Tour started off horribly. I was walking to the bus and the driver, Brian, cursed at me and was extremely rude. Cannot recommend the unprofessionalism of this company.
