Excellent tour! - Billy was amazing. His knowledge and passion for the area is so deep and sincere, it’s a real treat to spend the afternoon with him and get a genuine sense of the history of the area. His sense of humor keeps it light at the same time. He clearly takes pride in providing a top notch tour. Awesome afternoon!

Dingle Darling - Billy was a fun tour guide, if a bit quieter and more reserved than other tour guides we've had in the past. He was a Dingle guy for sure, and he seemed to know everyone. He gave us lots of great tips, too. I definitely feel a half day tour was the right amount of time- that way we had more time before the tour to walk around the town of Dingle, and when it ended at 6, we went to dinner- at a place he recommended, of course!

Nice tour with local expertise - We really enjoyed our tour of the Dingle Peninsula with Billy. The views of the Peninsula are absolutely incredible and it was relaxing to have a driver on the winding, tight roads. We really enjoyed getting the tour from a lifelong Dingle resident! Billy was very knowledgeable and had many great places for us to stop and see beautiful sights. We learned the history of the area and he shared some local stories. We would recommend this tour! Thanks, Billy!

Learn from a Lifetime resident - Billy Kavanagh is most generous with his time and is a many generation lifetime local to the Dingle Peninsula and personally knew so many of the people along the drive. He is extremely comfortable on the narrow roads and has a beautiful new van. Great personal storiesvas well as just a fine man. Thank you.
