A must see if in Ireland. Jamie the driver was informative and friendly.
All the stops along the way were beautiful and breathtaking.
The weather was perfect.

Joe was an incredible driver/guide. The views were breathtaking and it was a good thing most of the time it was sunny.

The scenery was lovely, but too many unforeseen stops, a man who sells “moonshine” on the side, re creation of an old Irish settlement that was at an extra cost, the washrooms smelled terribly of urine. Lastly there was a stop for a scenic view where a man may be there with a puppy, lamb or baby fox for a photo…more nickle and dining. Is it even legal to have a baby fox and where did he get it from???

This trip was amazing. Our driver, Paul, was very entertaining and had lots of local lore to share. We first stopped in Killarney where we chose to walk around the town and visit the Killarney Gardens Park, instead of doing the Jaunty tour. Next we visited the Kerry Bog Village which was interesting. We made several stops along the Ring of Kerry allowing us to take in the beauty of this rugged landscape and snap photos which couldn't possibly do it justice. We had lunch in Waterville and had enough time to walk the beach, see Charlie Chaplin statue, and the hotel where he and his family used to vacation. After that, more photo opportunities along the route, a quick stop in the quaint village of Sneem, and finally a 25 min stop or so at the beautiful Torc Waterfall in Killarney National Park. My husband and I really enjoyed this trip, the scenery was just breath taking- an opportunity of a lifetime for us, and we highly recommend it.

The entire tour was so enjoyable. Making frequent stops along the way was nice. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The horse and buggy ride was the best part. We saw more of the national park this way than we expected. Be sure to take $15 cash to pay for it.

Beautiful sights and we had a great tour guide/bus driver. Would have liked more time in Killarney. Fortunately it was a decent day with some sun!

Beautiful trip. It DID NOT feel like you were stuck on a bus the whole time. Even though some of the stops were short you had beautiful views the entire journey. The only issue i had is that i did not feel the bus driver was great at driving. It was a little scary at times.

Breathtaking scenery and informative driver. A long but great day with lots of stops - the day flew by. Highly recommended.

The driver Paul is friendly, helpful, patient and funny... The most important is, he has good driving skills, drive safely.
