Kris is a very pleasant Polish fellow highly knowledgeable of the area. The van was a very comfortable car all 3 of us with LOTS of room and GREAT visibility. We saw sheep grazing on lush green hillsides, visited ancient stone structures and wonderful little shops, viewed amazing ocean vistas from cliff tops. Highly recommended!

Wonderful trip

Linda_A, May 2026
Piotr was an excellent driver and delightful guide. A long but rewarding day! Valencia Island, the round fort, and Kerry Cliffs were highlights….

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Linda Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed the day with Piotr — he’ll be thrilled to know his guiding made the long journey feel rewarding. Valencia Island, the ring fort, and the Kerry Cliffs are truly special highlights, and it’s great to hear they stood out for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back to Kerry again. Warm Regards Kris

The weather was actually terrible the day we traveled, however, Kris was a wonderful tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and made the ride from spot to spot extremely enjoyable, we would highly recommend Kris as a tour guide.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Mark Thank you so much for the fantastic review. I’m delighted you enjoyed the tour — even if the weather decided to audition for “Most Dramatic Storm of the Year.” Rain or shine, it was a joy having you on board, and I’m thrilled the stories and the journey between stops brought some brightness to the day. Your recommendation truly means the world. Here’s hoping next time Kerry shows off her sunny side. Warm regards, Kris

Hit all the highlights...

JON_N, Sep 2025
Hit all the highlights with good explanation. Kris was a personable and professional driver and guide.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear JON_N, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you felt the tour hit all the highlights and that the explanations added value to your experience. It was a real pleasure guiding you through the Ring of Kerry and Kerry Cliffs, two of Ireland’s most breathtaking regions. I always strive to make each journey both informative and enjoyable, so I’m thrilled that you found the balance of professionalism and friendliness just right. If your travels bring you back to Ireland, I’d be honored to show you even more of its hidden gems. Wishing you many more memorable adventures ahead! Warm regards, Kris

A perfect option

Karen_W, Jul 2025
We were able to customize so that we didn’t duplicate with other activities and saw things the big tour buses couldn’t get to. Very nice day.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the flexibility of your tour—it’s always a pleasure to craft an itinerary that fits perfectly with your plans and avoids doubling up on sights you've already seen. I'm especially glad we could explore those hidden gems that the big tour buses can't reach. That’s one of my favorite parts of these private tours: showing guests the tucked-away places that make Kerry truly special. It was a joy sharing the day with you, and I'm delighted it turned out to be such a nice one. Wishing you many more adventures ahead! Warmest regards, Kris

Fantastic day with Kris!

Patrick_R, Apr 2025
We had a fantastic day with Kris who showed us some of the tourist spots, but also took us to places the tour buses can’t go. We were able to go at our own pace and Kris was the perfect guide, fun, and very knowledgeable. Book it!

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Patrick Thank you very much for your kind review. It was my pleasure to be able to show you some of the amazing places on the Ring of Kerry. Kind Regards Kris

The roads through moll...

paul_m, Apr 2025
The roads through moll gap are not as bad as Connor pass in dingle but can cause some congestion. The cliffs of Kerry were worth the trip. The sheep herder was incredible. And the waterfall was beautiful. Kris had video for my mom when she could not do the hike. Well thought out.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Paul Thank you very much for your review. You are right, the roads here may be a kind of challenge for some guests, but I hope everything is ok now. Kind regards to the whole family it was a pleasure to have you onboard. Hope to be able to serve you or your friends soon. Regards Kris

Ring of Kerry Tour with Kris

James_H, Aug 2024
The Kerry Cliffs, Ladies View and Torc Waterfall were fantastic. We also visited a number of ancient ring forts. Kris our tour guide was excellent.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear James Thank you so much for your kind words. I am delighted that you enjoyed the tour with Kris M Tours, and I hope to have the privilege to host you and your family or friends in the nearest future. Kind Regards Kris

Amazing

Suzannah_S, Jun 2024
My friends and I had a fantastic experience on the tour. Kris was so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We had one of the best travel days imaginable and after wished we had allotted more time to stay in Kerry. All of the spots we were shown on the tour took our breath away and Kris took us many places we would not have thought to go outside of the tour. We not only got to see, and explore the sites but were also able to interact with some wild life all thanks to Kris and his knowledge of Kerry. Could not recommend this tour more and we will be raving about it to anyone who will listen.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Suzanne Thank you very much for such a kind review. It was my pleasure to be able to do the tour with you. I hope to show you more of Kerry in nearest future. Warm regards Kris

Ring of Kerry Drive

Jane_W, Oct 2023
The views, the stop for lunch-despite a very wet and very windy day, a great way to see and so this drive.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Jane Thank you very much for your review, unfortunately the weather that day was not the best to admire the beauty of the Ring of Kerry but all of you were fantastic and in spite of the weather enjoyed the trip, thank you very much again. Regards Kris
