Beautiful ride through Killarney National Park - We took a great jaunting cab tour from Killarney to Ross Castle with Louis (and horse Archie.) We really enjoyed the ride, and Louis was so kind to our 7-year-old, who had a million questions about horses and castles and what bugs live in Ireland. The weather was gorgeous, and it was a lovely ride. Thanks to Louis for letting our little guy pet Archie as we said goodbye.

Really recommend this experience! - We had been on the road for a good part of the day, dropped our bags in the hotel, walked across the street and jumped on our jaunting car -- could not have been easier. It's shocking how quickly you go from a city atmosphere into a beautiful park, really a great experience that dropped our stress level down to zero. Fun to stop at the castle, see all the wildlife, very comfortable ride with blankets for when it got a little chilly. Really strongly recommend doing this, unlike anything else I've seen before. Thanks!
