Paudie made our tour incredible! - Paudie gave us an excellent tour! He was professional, funny, kind and one hell of a great driver. He took is to many off beat places and had a great rapport with people that we met along the way. It was obvious to us that he loves what he does. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about everything he showed us. He did not rush us. He let us take our time for pictures, recommended when and where to take pictures and brought us to the most fabulous sheepherding demonstration, that we absolutely loved. Although the weather was not what we would've liked it to be, he helped us make the best of it and did not short change us on our tour. It was the best tour I've ever been on. I would highly recommend taking this tour with , this guide, Paudie!!!!

Paudie Murphy knows.... Highly Recommend - It was a most excellent day of sightseeing, learning about the region's history, and having some hearty laughs as Paudie treated us like family as we drove the Ring of Kerry. I would highly recommend this trip.

Best sights of the trip, with a five star guide - Our tour with Paudie could not have been any better. It is a long day but he has created a perfect itinerary with stories and information to match. He has a personal connection to the area so that makes it even better. Enjoyed every minute including lunch along the way.

Two Beautiful Rings - We had an amazing day with Paudie, our tour guide, traveling around the two rings of Kerry and Skellig. Paudie made all the difference with his quick wit and extensive knowledge of every corner of the beautiful land. And he kept asking questions to tailor our experience perfectly for us. We take tours all over the world and would consider Paudie in the top class of guides we would recommend confidently to friends and family.

Wonderful tour and guide - On a recent visit to Killarney, we were two couples and took the private day tour of the Ring of Kerry and the Skellig Ring with Paudie Murphy and it could not have been a better day and experience. Paudie picked us up at our hotel in a very comfortable mercedes van equipped with water if we wanted it. Paudie knew that two of us were golfers so on our way out of Killarney to the Ring of Kerry we took a drive through the beautiful Killarney golf course to see the lake and mountain backdrop and the many on course deer. Two of us did a self guided Ring of Kerry tour 15 years ago but it was so much better to have a knowledgable guide who actually grew up in a Ring of Kerry town and knew its backgrounds and stories better than any guide book could offer. Along the way, we actually drove by his home and his elderly mom and sister came out to say hello. Paudie is a wealth of knowledge about Ireland and especially the Ring of Kerry. We stopped to see the ancestral home of famous Irish leader Red O’Donnell and drove many of the incredibly scenic roads and byways of the Ring with Paudie adding wonderful personal stories and information to bring what we were seeing alive. We enjoyed hearing about the Irish Civil War and the famous song from his hometown called “The Boys of Barr na Sraide”. We visited many small towns and beachfront settings that only he would know about having grown up in the Ring. The Skellig Ring tour was an added bonus and a not to be missed part of any Ring of Kerry tour. Paudie took us to the Kerry Cliffs and to one of his favorite restaurants for lunch where we had a Pint of Guiness and Fish and Chips. Along the way, he heard us talk about Irish famine villages and made an side stop to a famine village which was beautiful and a real treat. Paudie knew back roads that took us to a great viewing point for Skellig Michel, away from the tourist crowds. After lunch we made a fun stop at the Skellig Chocolate shop for chocolate and a bathroom break. We would highly recommend Paudie and his personalized Ring of Kerry tour. It is truly a highlight and Paudie is a fun person to spend the day with.

Paudie brings the Ring of Kerry alive for visitors! - Paudie is a treasure and the Ring of Kerry Tour with him a week ago was even better than we thought. He knows so much of history and local stories and relays them in a friendly manner. We had two generations of folks and he made it super for all. He would ask if we wanted to stop somewhere on the itinerary, for example, we did not want to stop at Skellig Chocolate, so that gave us longer where we wanted to stop (Torc Waterfall) . He chose an amazing place for lunch (shoutout to Fisherman's Bar in Portmagee). The Van was immaculate and comfortable.

Best tour/day in Ireland - We spent two weeks in Ireland and visited several areas. Our favorite day was with Paudie Murphy exploring his homeplace and listening to his stories. It was a beautiful day. The views of the Skelligs and Kerry cliffs made up for the foggy rain and poor visibility at the Moher cliffs. We saw many sights we would not have seen on a larger tour. Paudie is delightful and appears to truly love sharing his Irish home. Highly recommend a tour with Paudie!

Ring of Kerry Tour - What an awesome tour. I couldn’t say enough great things about our tour guide, Paudie! Definitely one of our favorite and most memorable tours we’ve ever been on. Thank you!

Best Day Tour with Paudie Murphy - Our group of four adults had the pleasure of touring the Ring of Skellig and the Ring of Kerry with Paudie (Patrick) Murphy as our driver-guide for a day in July 2024. It was an absolutely fantastic experience! Paudie’s deep knowledge of the history and current details about the sights and Ireland in general was impressive, and his personal anecdotes about growing up in the area added a unique and engaging touch. The tour included a drive around the Ring of Skellig, a trip to Valentia Island, and parts of the Ring of Kerry. The dramatic cliffs of Skellig were as breathtaking as the Cliffs of Moher, and our stop at the working slate quarry and grotto on Valentia Island was equally memorable. We enjoyed a lunch (not included) at the Fisherman’s Restaurant in Portmagee Harbor, where we had the freshest fish and chips meal. Though we had a rental car, we chose to experience the beauty and history of this part of Ireland with a knowledgeable, professional, and safe driver and tour guide—Paudie. His love and passion for the area were evident throughout the day, and we were truly grateful for the opportunity to share in his enthusiasm. We would certainly contact Paudie for any return visits and give him a high recommendation.

Fabulous! - Paudie was an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge and great sense of humour! The day flew by and we experienced many different highlights of the area, including a few pleasant surprises. Two of our group had done a similar tour before, but this exceeded all expectations with new sights and different activities. We would definitely book with Paudie again, and we highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring the Ring of Kerry.
