Tour the Ring of Kerry from Killarney with a local driver-guide, scenic bays, mountain views, Sneem, Ladies View, and sheepdogs.

“Michael, our guide was great; impressive driving skills, good sense of humor, and an overall concern for the safety and enjoyment of his passengers. He deserves a 5 star. The overall tour though is just average. We stopped a total of 5 times, twice for bathroom/coffee breaks (20 min each), once for lunch (40 min, 1/2 of which was spent standing in line), one stop at the start for quick photos and one more stop at the end for pictures at “the ladies view.” That’s it. The rest of the time was sitting on the bus. Furthermore, if you weren’t sitting on the drivers side (right side), the views were…”

Review of McCarthy’s one-hour private horse-carriage tour through Killarney National Park, with Ross Castle, lake views, local stories, and photo stops.

“It’s a wonderful introduction to Killarney National Park and a great way to kick off our stay in Ireland. Martin was a congenial and informative guide to the sights along the way and personal historic stories. And Paddy (our trusty horse) led the way.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 377 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $19

Review of Killarney National Park’s private guided walk, with local stories, deer sightings, quiet trails, practical tips, and value advice.

“I booked this tour spontaneously and didn't have very high expectations, but it turned out to be an amazing experience thanks to our guide Mike! He was just fantastic - super friendly and knowledgeable, and a true local. There was only one other person in the group (a female solo-traveler just like me), so it almost seemed like a private tour. Mike took "off the beaten path" quite literally and we saw some places that I never would've discovered on my own. It was by far the best walking tour I've ever done!”

“We had a fantastic experience on our Jaunting Car Tour through Killarney National Park! Martin was incredibly accommodating, he contacted us the night before to confirm details and kindly let us change our tour time. He even went the extra mile by sending map links to make meeting up easy and followed up afterwards to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Our guide, Daniel, was wonderful, so friendly and knowledgeable about the park’s history, wildlife, and landmarks. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Killarney.”

“I ended up going solo since my hubby was feeling under the weather, and it was a beautiful time anyway. My boat captain had brought a gift of a little bottle of bubbly & two glasses for us since we were on our honeymoon - so thoughtful, & we did end up enjoying the gift a few days later :) My captain, Diarmaid, shared a lot of interesting information about the human history of the area and about the flora and fauna. I also had nice time by myself on the island to take in my surroundings. It was about an hour all together, good communication, and easy parking. I…”
