Fun, beautiful and unique
We thoroughly enjoyed our jaunting tour. It was a fun way to see quite a bit of Killarney National Park and learn some history surrounding the area. We also really appreciated that these particular horses were trained with verbal commands and no whip was used.

Great Carriage Ride
Damien was a great guide through Killarney National Park. He shared lots of interesting information, was funny, very engaging and an all around good guy. The horse and carriage ride was a great way to see parts of the park you couldn’t get to otherwise. Highly recommend

Dave was an awesome guide...
Dave was an awesome guide - everything he said was interesting and entertaining but I didn’t feel ‘talked at’. Thank you!

Beautiful trip
Loved the visit to Waterville and Sneem most of all. A small feed back to the tour company - try to give us longer time at Sneem village as it’s too beautiful to skip and we get very little time there. Otherwise the trip was very beautiful, the driver was very nice and was quite hospitable towards us apart from the information and Trivia that he shared.
