The tour was great! We met the bus at the designated spot and drove around the Ring of Kerry, stopping at spots to take pictures. Our favorite part was the sheep dog demonstration. We learned so much about the area and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It exceeded our expectations.

Great value

Marianne_D, Jun 2026
Fabulous tour with stunning scenery!! This tour actually does everything on the itinerary. It provides a bonus area of the skellig area that other tours do not. Our driver, Kevin, was fabulous! The driver can make the tour, and Kevin enhances the experience. I would highly recommend.

Nice scenery, great driver/guide, good lunch stop.

Definitely plan to see the border collie herding sheep. Amazing communication between master and dog!

Ring of Kerry is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever traveled! Kevin, the driver, is funny and full of knowledge. Great way to spend a day in Killarney!

Packed full of stops and sights. Best way to see the Ring of Kerry, history and fun facts about the area shared by our guide Kevin while he navigated the narrow twisty roads.

We felt safe and informed on the whole trip. All of the stops were great. The driver Kevin was very knowledgable and friendly and knew the roads so well. The Ring of Kerry is a trip that everyone should experience!

Laura_R, Jun 2026
It is a very long day. First, the sheep dog experience is so cool and is a must to see when visiting. They can’t do anything about the weather, but if it’s foggy and rainy, there isn’t much else to see. We realize that if the weather had been different we would have had a completely different experience.

Great tour with a couple exceptions

Colin_C, Jun 2026
Beautiful scenery! Overall good experience but the bus had problems with the sound so we missed much of what the driver was saying. The bog village and lunch were disappointing.

Rushed Tour But Overall Good

Pawan_k, Jun 2026
Must visit area of Ireland. Tour had elements of mountains and lakes. Got taste of chocolate and Irish stew.

Breathtaking Views With a GREAT Guide

Philip_K, Jun 2026
Kevin is an AMAZING tour guide, both knowledgeable and funny! Would certainly do this rather than drive the route, very large buses on very narrow roads would not be a fun experience. This way everyone gets to see everything. Sheep dog demo was amazing. Kevin ensured that each of his passengers was comfortable and entertained. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering The Ring tour. Plus they do the Skellig ring, a highlight well worth it, especially to history or Star Wars fans.

Rain did not put a damper on it!

Wendy_S, Jun 2026
Kevin was a great tour guide. Drove that bus through some pretty tight areas without a blink of an eye! We were thankful that we did not drive it! Lol! He took us to Dooley’s for lunch and the food was wonderful. The sheep dog experience was so interesting and fun to watch! It pretty much rained the whole day but we still had a fantastic day!

Beautiful Tour of Ring of Kerry

Christopher_K, Jun 2026
Great trip, beautiful scenery tour around Kerry county. Only suggestion/complaint was sound system in bus was sporadic/low volume at times so we missed some of the guide’s discussion. One piece of advice, the directions for meeting point said be there at least 10 minutes before tour start and we got there 15 minutes before and the bus was almost full! Get there early if you want to pick seats.

Do it!

Theresa_B, Jun 2026
Dennis did a great job making the day an amazing experience. We saw so much beautiful scenery and did so many things in one of the shorter day tours. Definitely worth the money.

Such a great experience,...

Kasey_U, May 2026
Such a great experience, Kevin was an awesome tour guide. Could not believe my eyes at how beautiful this was. County Kerry is one of my new favorite places on earth!

Great

briancfarley, May 2026
Really good tour overall. Be prepared it’s a lot of driving with some quick photo stops mixed in though that is normal for a ring of Kerry tour. Driver/guide was great. One big key is the bus had 2 doors which on quick stops was actually important. But overall a really good ring tour.

One of our favorite tours!

Laura_C, May 2026
Truly a fabulous tour! David was informative, engaging, funny, and kind. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the history, locations, and people all along the Ring of Kerry drive. His personal experiences in a number of the little towns along the way added to the richness of the tour experience. Our 3 young adult children said this was one of their favorite tours ever - high praise indeed!

Good but could be improved.

Patricia_S, May 2026
Nice scenic drive but felt a bit rushed. The driver was always saying we would hurry up to do this and that. He would also tell us about some landmark coming up but wouldn’t tell us which side of the bus to look out of! There really should be a guide giving I all the info instead of the driver. He was also using his phone while he was driving which I thought was poor. He was a good driver but that is not okay.

Kerry loop with the Skellig Ring

Denis_M, May 2026
You get to see beautiful vistas. Kevin was extremely informative, (and, at times, funny). Loved the sheep dog demonstration. Dooley’s was an excellent lunch recommendations.

Beautiful Ring of Kerry!

Sherry_L, May 2026
What a wonderful way to see the landscape of Ireland’s Ring of Kerry! Our guide, Kevin, was knowledgeable, funny, kept us on schedule and expertly navigated the roads! His anecdotal stories added so much to the experience.

Respectable and worth it!

Brooklyn_B, May 2026
It was a 10/10 time, views were stunning, we had great weather. Tour guide David was very informative and funny. I also left my very expensive camera on the bus and he found out it was mine and brought it back to my hotel. Complete life saver! Great driving!

dont miss this tour

spectacular views and plenty of photo ops. our tour guide david was very nice and informative would highly recommend this instead of driving those roads myself

It is a perfect way to reach beautiful places without a car. The trip was well planned, and you can learn interesting facts during the journey.

I would recommend this...

Ashley_H, May 2026
I would recommend this tour a million times over! It was so nice to not have to drive the Ring of Kerry, and to be able to enjoy the scenery. There were just the right amount of stops to take pictures, stretch legs, get food, etc. The sheepdog demonstration and bog village both left memorable impressions on us and I'm glad we did them too. Kevin was amazing and we were so lucky to have him as our guide; and Anna behind the scenes was so helpful for me as someone new to the area figuring out the pickup locations. I highly recommend this tour!

Parking is super easy;...

Paul_K, May 2026
Parking is super easy; large lot at the tourism office (remember to pay for parking and leave the ticket face-up on your dash). Bus is comfortable and David, our driver, was a very knowledgeable local with a lot of good information about the towns and environs. Stop at the herding dog demo was great, and the bog village museum was fun to roam around in (with 2 very well behaved wolfhounds). Lots of scenic overlooks. A day well spent (runs from 9 to around 5).

Definitely recommend this...

Veronika_K, May 2026
Definitely recommend this tour. Ring of Kerry is a lovely sight, and Sean did a lovely job giving the history about the area.
