- Conor Pass - Conor Pass rises 456 feet vertically from the sea, to serve as a passageway between the Sliabh Mish Range and Mount Brandon. It is Ireland’s highest mountain road. This winding, alpine route offers breathtaking views for those brave enough to travel the precipitous road where Blackface Mountain sheep are more abundant than cars. The pass’s summit offers breathtaking views of Brandon Bay to the north and Dingle Bay to the south. As we move on, the landscape transitions to a deep glacial cirque, dotted with magnificent alpine lakes and waterfalls. Many travellers skip this route because it is difficult, but with Mossie’s Tours, you are free to sit back and enjoy the view.

An Amazing Tour!! - This tour was a total highlight of our trip! From gorgeous stops to fascinating history, Mossie catered the drive to our interests and was the best guide we could hope for: funny, kind, and full of stories about the area. I’m so glad we took Mossie’s tour instead of driving Slea Head Drive ourselves. We wouldn’t have learned nearly as much - or had nearly as much fun!
I also appreciated how easy Mossie and Helen made the planning process. The company communicated quickly, and we really appreciated the flexible start time! Mossie also gave great recommendations on what to do for the rest of our stay in Dingle and even gave some tips for the Ring of Kerry and Northern Ireland. I’d recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

Wonderful experience! - What a wonderful day spent with Mossie on our tour through Dingle!
We were picked up from our BnB in Killarney and regaled with historical facts and funny anecdotes on the hour long drive to Dingle area. We visited Connors Pass and drove Slea Head Drive. We learned about the beehive huts and snuggled some baby lambs! All along the ride Mossie provided amazing commentary and answered all of our questions about the area. He catered the tour to our interests and took us to many historical ruins that we hadn't even heard of! By the end of the day we felt like we had made a new friend!
If you're looking for a comfortable ride with a knowledgeable and charming guide, please book with Mossie.

Dingle Ireland - Our guide Tony was full of history and knowledge of Ireland. He took us to beautiful beaches and museums and of course a couple of pubs. It was a ten of an experience!

A Perfect day in Dingle peninsula - Fantastic day in the magical Dingle peninsula. Helen was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about history, landscape, culture, and all things mystical in Dingle. This was my second visit here and I learned so much more about it and it enjoyed it even more with an experienced guide. She tailored the day to our interests and was patient and accommodating with my photographic impulses to stop (safely) on a dime so I could get the perfect shot!
My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our day experiencing Dingle with Helen. It was a Perfect day!
Will do it again!
Thanks Helen!

Best tour I’ve been on - My experience with Mossie’s Tours was nothing short of exceptional! Our guide, Mossie, was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. He went above and beyond to tailor the tour to our interests providing fascinating insights and anecdotes that brought the destination to life.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of iconic sights and hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. The transportation was very comfortable adding to the stress-free experience.I cannot recommend Mossie’s Tours enough.

Experience of a lifetime - My wife and I did the full day private tour of the Dingle peninsula with Helen. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kind and answered all of our questions and provided some excellent recommendations for places to eat, hear live music, and to include as part of the tour. She then customized the tour to fit our interests in the history and culture of the peninsula and took us to some truly beautiful and memorable locations - we did Conor Pass (thank goodness she was driving!) and visited the Dingle Crystal workshop and got to learn about the crystal making process. We also were able to visit a bronze age settlement and learn about medieval construction techniques! Plus, we also got to hold baby lambs, which is always a delight. Helen's expertise and knowledge of the area helped us avoid tourist traps and prioritize local gems that take pride in their community and allowed us to really experience Dingle. By the end of the tour, we knew we would have to return to Dingle and spend a much longer time in the town and go on yet another tour with Helen again in the future. We could not have been happier with the tour and we are truly grateful for everything Helen was able to do for us. 10/10 would highly highly recommend!

Dingle Peninsula day trip is a must. - Husband and I enjoyed a full day with Helen touring the entire Dingle Peninsula. She was a wealth of information and was very accommodating with our preferences. We loved the variety of places and sites that we visited. From the circles, bee hive homes, coastline, and beaches, she had the inside scoop. It was one of the highlights of our 2 week long trip to Ireland.

Best Dingle and Ring of Kerry tours - Mossie's knowledge of the history, culture and people of this beautiful country led us to fall in love with the Dingle and Kerry peninsulas. He drove safely on the narrow, breathtaking roads and was sensitive to our mobility needs. He knew the short cuts and made sure we saw all that we wanted to see and more. Mossie was fun and engaging and had the best stories to tell. Mossie's 2 day, all day tours were the best way we could have begun our trip.
