Muster Bus Tours are out of this word FUN! - We had an amazing tour through Ireland in July, 2024 with Munster Bus Tours! They were a 10 out of 10 for service, tour guide, follow up, price and FUN! We were a family of 7 and not only did our tour guide Tony bring us around to all the places on our list, we went off the beaten path and he showed us an Irish experience we will never ever forget. His humor and kindness were out of this world! I would definitely use this tour company again and highly recommend them for all your Ireland planning needs! Kudos to both Tony our tour guide and Cathy who assisted in our planning. We had a memorable Ireland trip!

Nothing beats a private tour! - Flawless tour! Brian was a great guide and he was so knowledgeable and accomodating. Perfect timing everywhere we went and we did not feel rushed at any stop. Brian was great at showing us so many great places in the time we had. Highly reccomend it!

Great private tour with Munsterbus and Mr Ian Moriarty - We, a group of 4, had a private tour with Munsterbus for 3 days from Kildare to Dingle covering the Rock of Cashel, Castle Cahir, Cobh, Ring of Kerry, Killarney National parks, Slea Head Drive, and Dingle. We had a wonderful tour with Ian our driver and guide. Ian is a very professional and knowledgeable guide. He gave us a very good overview about history of Ireland and various historical places. He is passionate about tour services and we all had a very enjoyable time with him. Also his recommendations for restaurants are very very good. Thanks Munsterbus and Ian.

Wonderful - Sea’n was amazing. Our driver Sara Jane was wonderful. We had a fold up wheelchair and they were both so very helpful. The stories Sea’n told were very insightful. He is full of so much knowledge of the area. I would definitely do this tour again. The small size was amazing.

Favorite tour (and best tour company!) in Ireland - My wife and I came to Ireland on our honeymoon and ended up doing two different private tours. Our first tour was for the Cliffs of Moehr with a different company. We enjoyed that tour, but this Ring of Kerry trip through MunsterBus was significantly better than the other tour company. If you are looking to do a private tour in Ireland, I cannot recommend enough booking this experience through Viator or direct with MunsterBus. They are definitely who we will use when we come back to Ireland. We went on a slightly rainy day, but even without perfect weather this was the highlight of our Ireland trip. The scenery is stunning, and it’s not as rushed as some of the other full day 12-13 hour trips where you’re constantly in a hurry. Our tour guide Tony Murphy was fantastic and went above and beyond to give us a great day. We loved the entire experience and cannot wait to come back one day.

Loved the tour around Kerry - Munsterbus Private tour was the best part of our trip. Our Driver tailored our drive to what we really wanted to see by asking questions at the beginning of the tour. We loved it and honestly wished we had planned multiple days with them.

Perfectly intimate, not hectic, beautiful - Highly recommend!!! The views were amazing, also the format of the tour is ideal for people who like to have flexibility in terms of pace of the tour and want to explore the delights of the ring of Kerry in a relatively short period of time without too much exertion. Essentially ideal when traveling with kids and the elderly. We travelled with our parents who are 60+ and this tour allowed us to enjoy time as a family while not getting tired from hectic schedules that generally accompany group tours. Tony our tour conductor was amazing as he patiently explained to us various trivia about the Irish and Ireland as we drove by the beautiful country side soaking up the beautiful views of the ring of Kerry. We stopped at beautiful locations and even had the opportunity to try delicious Irish food, do some shopping and also have the most amazing scones ever in a delightful eatery overlooking a lake.

The best way to see the Ring of Kerry and beyond - 5 stars are not enough to rate our tour with Tony as our guide and driver. We experienced the very best of not just the Ring of Kerry but also went where the big busses can’t, going through the town of Portmagee and off the beaten path for amazing views of Skellig Michael. Lots of stops, lots of history and maybe, just maybe, a tall tale or two. Tony kept us entertained, engaged and safe on the roads fit for the professional drivers, navigating the way around in a comfortable van giving the 6 of us all a window seat to amazing sites. This is truly the best way to see the Ring as we made more stops and stayed longer because we didn’t have to unload 50 people at each stop and enjoyed our interaction with Tony as if he was part of our traveling group.
