This tour was amazing! Our guide Des was so knowledgeable and a great driver on those narrow roads. It was great to learn from a local. Would definitely recommend!

A great way to see Slea Head Drive without the stress of driving it yourself! The views were amazing and it was a perfect amount of time at each stop. Des was a great driver and offered lots of information about Irish history as well. Enlightening experience. And you get to hold a baby lamb!

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!

Rory was so knowledgeable and kind! The three hours flew by and it never felt like we were in the van for long before getting out for another beautiful stop. He even gave us a ride back to our hotel in the rain after (thank you again!!!). Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting.

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.
Best regards,

Book this! It was an incredible experience, not to be missed.
Do not attempt to drive the Peninsula on your own-it is treacherous and you will spend your time fearing for your safety and unable to enjoy the amazing views.

Skip the Cliffs of Moher and everything else this Dingle tour is an absolute must and Dez is such an informative and friendly guide. You might even get to meet a very friendly, adorable little donkey along the way👀
You'll be sure to have a good time.
(PS- Give Dez a raise really an exceptional guide😅)
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Alrinda,
Thank you so much for the fantastic review — we really appreciate it.
We’re delighted you had such a great time on the tour and that Des (we’ll be sure to let him know about that raise suggestion!) made it so enjoyable and informative for you. He’ll be especially happy to hear that.
And yes… that little donkey tends to steal the show!

Robin_B, May 2026
This is a great experience especially for those who would like to see the sights and not have to drive. The information provided also was nice so we knew what we were seeing. I was only a bit disappointed because our tour driver didn’t take us to the last stop, Gallorus Observatory, I think due to time as some people consistently returned to the bus late. If stated up front then it wouldn’t have been an issue. Otherwise an enjoyable tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Robin,
Thank you for your review and for your kind words — we’re really glad you enjoyed the tour overall and the experience of seeing the sights without having to drive.
Just to clarify, the Gallarus Oratory is a suggested stop on the tour, and we include it when time permits. On busy days, delays such as late returns to the bus can unfortunately impact the schedule, and our guides have to make decisions to ensure the tour runs smoothly for everyone.
We completely understand your point about communication, and we’ll take that on board — it’s very helpful feedback.
Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Dingle in the future.
Kind regards,

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.
