Des was our tour guide and we highly recommend him! He is funny, kind and a wealth of information about the Dingle Peninsula and Ireland in general. We learned so much and got to ask him all our questions as he was happy to answer them! Having a tour guide is the best way to hear about the area from a local and to actually get to see everything Slea Head Drive has to offer…and it is absolutely a feast for the eyes! Thanks Des!!

Very nice trip around the Dingle peninsula. Great option for people who do not have a car, ...or who do not want to drive the narrow curving roads. Beautiful scenery and interesting commentary. The tour operator does not offer tours other than for groups, so Viator is the best option for couples and individuals.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and commentary along the Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head Drive.
Just to clarify, we also offer private tours of the Dingle Peninsula for couples, families and small groups, as well as our group tours. For the best range of options and availability, we always recommend booking directly with Dingle Slea Head Tours.
Thanks again for travelling with us, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Dingle!

Des was a very good driver and guide. This is his home and he’s done this for 23 years. He is fun, knowledgeable, and approachable. He was made for this job. He took us to all the interesting stops around the Slea Head and we even got to hold/feed lambs! Don’t miss your opportunity to join this tour!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re delighted you had such a great time exploring Slea Head with Des. After 23 years, he certainly knows the peninsula inside out — and we’ve just told him he has another 23 years to go before we’ll even consider letting him retire!
We’ll be sure to pass on your lovely comments. Thanks again for choosing Dingle Slea Head Tours, and we hope to see you back in Dingle someday!
A stunning 3 hour tour around the peninsula. Our driver (Des Murphy) is everything you want in a tour guide. Knowledgeable, extremely capable and absolutely charming. He times the stops perfectly so you have lots of time for pictures but does keep the group going at a perfect pace. We could not recommend this tour more. Best way to see the stunning cliffs, beaches and overall landscape surrounding the beautiful town of Dingle.

A great trip with a smart and kind driver! (Also incredibly skilled- he always managed to keep the van close to where we were). He had knowledge about everywhere we went and even places we didn’t (like pointing out the house Delores Riordan’s house).
It was a scenic and fun way to spend half a day!

This is the only way to fully see and appreciate the Peninsula. The road is very narrow and windy this tour takes the stress out of driving. Rory was very informative and made several stops allowing us to walk to beach and capture best views. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dez was outrageously wonderful as the guide. Tour was breathtaking even in cloudy weather (I’d probably try to do it both cloudy and sunny if time/weather allows). Also some good history. Take the book recommendations too!

Very informative! Des really knows his Irish history and of the area; plus he’s funny. Had cloudy, and foggy weather in areas, and some rain so I believe there was one stop we didn’t get to. A great tour of Slea Head; I just think $100 for 3 hours was over priced but this was a really good tour over all.
Response from Host, May 2026
Rebecca,
Thank you for your review.
We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Des's local knowledge, Irish history, and sense of humour helped make the experience enjoyable despite the mixed weather conditions.
Regarding the price, it appears you booked through a third-party company, which adds their own commission and fees. If you book directly with us in the future, the cost is considerably lower.
Unfortunately, the weather is beyond our control, and on rare occasions we may need to adjust a stop for safety reasons. We're glad you still enjoyed exploring Slea Head and the Dingle Peninsula with us.
Kind regards,
Rory

Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us during this tour. The scenery was still beautiful but diminished. Our guide, Dora was fabulous, funny, charming and informative. She truly worked to try to make the tour a good one. While the drive was worthy to see, I do not believe it was worth the cost of 101 euros even on a good weather day.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear you enjoyed Dora’s guiding and company throughout the tour.
Unfortunately, the weather on Ireland’s west coast is beyond anyone’s control, and even one of the world’s most remote and scenic regions can look very different from day to day. While we understand the conditions may have affected your experience, we’re glad you still got to see the beauty of the Dingle Peninsula.
Thank you again for travelling with us.
