A customizable, friendly tour of Killarney! - This is a great way to customize your very own tour of Killarney to your likings! The driver, Annette, was incredibly friendly & knowledgeable about the various sites. She was communicative about when & where pick ups would be, as well as providing a physical map with the schedule and additional information about the tour. You have the option to check out what you want and skip what you don’t! The earlier you start, the more time you’ll have to linger at each spot, but you could do the tour in as much or as little time as you’d like.

Killarney Hop on Hop off bus tour - The driver’s comments about the sights in the Killarney National Park including the Ross Castle, Muckross House and the Torc water Falls! He was very timely on his schedule and was within one minute of his schedule so don’t be late for the appointed pick up time.

Convenient and time saving - The service is very convenient, as long as you are aware of the timings. The driver is very helpful. Since we didn't have a car, it saved us time to hike in the National Park.

Not enough buses - If you don’t have a vehicle this service works However it’s only one bus, so you are at each stop for an hour. My first stop Ross Castle - there was a 45 min tour but it did not align with the bus schedule so after exploring I was ready in 30 mins. Bussed to the Falls and hiked uphill well past the falls. I returned to bottom and could wait 25 mins for the bus or walk to the next stop that took the same time. I walked. Did the same thing at the house, walked to the Abbey but the bus came as I arrived. It was a 1k hike to abbey and did not think a whole hour here would work for my schedule so chose to miss it. I would suggest at least one more bus.

Aweful experience - I’ve been on Hop on Hop offs in several,locations in both Europe and the United States, this was without a doubt the worst I’ve ever been in. The driver gave little to no history about much of anything, and only stopped at 2 stops out of many.
