Beautiful Scenery and the History of Dindle - This was one of the best things about our trip to Ireland. We took the 4 hour private tour. There were many stops along the way for pictures and potty breaks. We came to visit our daughter in college and our family of four did some sightseeing around parts of Ireland. We loved Dindle and booked this tour a little last minute. What a great experience we had! Rory knows the places to take tourists and explained so much about the history and sights of Dindle. It was a thousand times better than trying to drive ourselves ! This tour is a must for folks to see the growing town and the spectacular sights. Thank you Rory! The Sjogren Family

Dingle Peninsula - Rory, our guide, gave us an incredible tour of Dingle. He has an incredible depth of knowledge on the area. We saw the most breathtaking views around the Dingle peninsula. We stopped to pet and hold baby lambs, visited the sites where Star Wars The Last Jedi was filmed and took incredible family pics at many beautiful stops. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Wonderful scenic tour with the most helpful guide!!! - Rory from Dingle Sea Head Tours was amazing!!!! He picked us (all 10 of us ages 4-60!) up with two large vans at our airbnb and drove us all around Dingle. We didn't have to do a thing.. he planned everything. Not only that, but I can't even explain how helpful he was. Rory took us to see some baby lambs where my kids could feed them with a bottle, told us all about every area we drove around, stopped to take some scenic pictures of us, suggested places we could go to dinner, got us reservations, and even arranged for a taxi bus to transport us there and back. You will be in good hands with Dingle Slea Head Tours!!!

Lovely private tour with Slea Head Tours! - My husband and I booked this private tour upon arriving in Dingle in September and were fortunately able to grab the afternoon timeslot after Slea Head Tours had a last minute cancellation. At first, we thought four hours was going to be a long time for just the two of us going on this tour, but it actually allowed us to take our time and truly experience the beauty of the peninsula. Our driver was Des and he was a wealth of knowledge. Being a local resident of Dingle, he was so easy to chat with (we bonded over Philly - where we're from) and he made sure to point out significant sites and historical facts as we drove along the peninsula. He let us know that he'd be happy to pull over if there was anything we wanted to stop and see, and he even made some suggestions of his own that we wouldn't have thought to do (don't want to spoil anything!) which we so appreciated. We are not big on tours, but we wanted a break from driving ourselves and are so happy we booked this private tour and got Des as our guide. I would recommend to anyone to spend a little extra for the luxury of being able to sit back and let a local guide take you around. This was truly one of the highlights of our road trip around Ireland and we would do this again. Thank you, Des!

An excellent experience! - On this, our second time on the Dingle peninsula, we took a friend’s advice and booked a private tour with Dingle Slea Head Tours. Our tour guide, Des, was friendly, knowledgeable and hilarious. He gave us a quick tour of the charming town of Dingle before taking us on a spectacular, four-hour drive that included Conor Pass, a climb to a beautiful scenic mountain lake, a walk on Coumeenole Beach, a view of the beautiful Blasket Islands and—most amazingly—a chance to hold a baby lamb. Des gave us a valuable taste of Irish history and made stops at hidden scenic vistas we never would have discovered on our own. It is no doubt the best way to enjoy the Dingle peninsula.

Slea Head during Agnes - An amazing tour. Colm.is the best guide, very knowledgeable, great personality and sense of humor. Will customize stops depending on groups desires. Toured during storm Agnes which made for quite an adventure but Colm handled with calm. Also drove us the next day to Galway via Cliffs of Moher. A truly memorable trip with lots of local knowledge and great conversation along the way. Highly recommended.

Best tour of Dingle! - Best way to see the beauty of Dingle Peninsula. Each vista was more amazing than the next! We took so many photos! Desmond Murphy was a fun and knowledgeable guide, we had a great time with him! Plenty of opportunities to get out of the car, walk around and explore some areas which we took full advantage of. Highly recommend, it was absolutely worth it!

Terrific tour! - Lovely drive. The views of cliffs and sea were spectacular! We could take our time walking down to the beach and at various stops. Liked not feeling rushed. Our guide Desmond was friendly, fun and knowledgeable of the area and history. Highly recommend!

Glad we done this. - Was a very good tour and we all enjoyed ourselves. Tour guided Rory was very helpful and gave inputs on various sights. He was also great with my 3 year old who wanted to eat and spread sand all over his van! While it was worthwhile as a trip, I feel we could probably have done it easily ourselves with a bit of extra research/planning and not missed out on much at all. Highlight was the behive and lamb farm - going in the afternoon was the key.
