This tour was by far our favorite experience while visiting Dingle. We went the day after we arrived and learned so much about Dingle. The views are INCREDIBLE! Rory was the best tour guide who is so knowledgeable and funny. When you stop be sure to get out and explore and take photos. One of our best tours to date!

Excellent tour around Slea Head drive. Only 8 passengers which was nice. Our driver Des Murphy was excellent - starting the tour with some local recommendations, sprinkling in Irish history and explaining all of the sights along the way. We were happy to have him handling the driving!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great experience on the Slea Head Drive. Keeping the group small really does make a difference, so it’s great to hear you enjoyed that aspect of the tour. Des will be thrilled to read your kind words — he’s a fantastic guide with a real passion for sharing the history, stories, and local tips that make the Dingle Peninsula so special. And of course, it’s always nice to sit back, relax, and let someone else handle those scenic (and sometimes winding!) roads. We truly appreciate you choosing Dingle Slea Head Tours and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Warm regards, Rory Dingle Slea Head Tours

The tour guide, Des, was so informative and nice. He showed us the best places round town while also keeping the whole group of all ages engaged. I learned so much about Ireland and Dingle during this tour. Not once was I bored and the views in areas were something incredible!!! Honestly one of the best things I did on my vacation and while it might seem expensive you get to relax and have a stress free tour and meet others on the tour.

Kathleen_H, Aug 2025
When I woke to another day of wind and rain (Irish sunshine) I did not have high hopes for our Slea Head Drive tour but it was actually great. The beauty and power of nature was ever present. Our guide provided interesting information about each stop with historical, and cultural details. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Best tour ever. Just beautiful.

Kyla_F, Aug 2025
I travel quite a bit, and I think this is my favorite guided tour I have ever taken. The tour itself is simply breathtaking, and our tour guide Des Murphy was just full of historical information and pop culture/ movie filing information as well. We had tons of time at every beautiful stop to take photos until our hearts were content, and Des took photos for us so we could be together in the photos. We were never rushed, it was just the most perfect experience ever. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you, Des, you have left us with a beautiful memory.
