⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an absolutely unforgettable private tour from Killarney yesterday, exploring the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Kerry, Dingle, and the beautiful waterfall in Killarney National Park. Our guide, Peter, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging — his stories and insights brought the history and beauty of the region to life.
The day was perfectly paced, with so many memorable stops along the way, each more breathtaking than the last. From stunning coastal views to charming local spots, Peter made sure we didn’t miss a thing. It was a truly special experience, and we couldn’t recommend this tour more highly!

Magnificent day touring the Ring of Kerry with Peter. We saw many interesting places that tour buses can’t go due to the narrow roads such as the Kerry Cliffs - and suggested sights we were unaware of such as Cahergal Fort. Peter was knowledgeable, flexible and charming. We were able to sit back and enjoy the day without worrying about navigating and driving. Highly recommend.

Peter was so knowledgeable and flexible to any of our suggestions. We wanted to see a sheep dog demonstration and he immediately figured it out without taking anything away from the rest of the trip. Everything was so scenic and beautiful. Peter, thanks so much

We loved having a private tour. Our guide Peter was excellent. The Ring of Kerry is a beautiful area. Especially Killarney Natonal Park. The waterfall was beautiful. He took us to Ross Castle, the Muckross House and other sites around the Ring.

Everything! The views were spectacular and our guide, Peter brought an abundance of stories and history to life for us. The views are truly magical as you zig and zag through the mountains and coast. The Kerry Cliffs are more stunning than you can imagine! We were treated with such kindness. It was a joy from beginning to end!

Our tour guide Peter Stanley for one. We thoroughly enjoyed his conversation and knowledge. He’s a wonderful person and a real gentleman.
Loved the Cliffs of Kerry, the forts, the Kilarney National Park and the Torq waterfalls. But mostly loved the beautiful scenery Peter showed us.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you Phil for a great review. Thank You and Your Mrs. Your appreciation is very important to me. Thanks a lot.
Cheryl_H, Mar 2023
Peter was an amazing tour guide. Not only was he friendly and courteous, but a wealth of knowledge. We covered everything from medieval to near present day. It was - hands down- the best tour we have had.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Cheryl. Great Thanks for your review. I am Really Glad that Both of You had a great time. Thanks a million 😊

Peter was an excellent host and took us to a variety of places we could have never found on our own. His knowledge of the area and focus on personalized service were terrific. It was a great day!

Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thanks Linda. Believe me, I had really great time with you as well. I love spending time with lovely people like You. Thank you once again. Regards Peter.

Our guide Peter was fantastic. His knowledge and love of Ireland made for a truly memorable experience. He was able to take us to places the big tour coaches cannot access. Because it was a private tour, we could go at our own pace and really enjoy those places that appealed the most to us. Also, not having to drive allowed me to fully enjoy the views and experience. Highly recommended!
julieknopke, Oct 2019
Peter was a wonderful tour guide on our trip. It rained the whole time so he tried to find things we could do indoors as well. Despite the rain and cold, we had a lot of fun.
Jane_S, Oct 2019
We thought we had cancelled our Ring of Kerry Tour because we had experienced motion-sickness on a ride from Killarney to Kenmare...but Donal Monaghan showed up and we decided to take some Dramamine and see how it went. He was so understanding and drove so smoothly that it wasn't an issue. He let us set the pace. We started with Sneem because my daughter really wanted us to see it. Then we went on from there. We loved the scenery almost as much as we loved Donal's thoughtfulness and expertise.

Our guide, Peter, shared his wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. In addition, he took us to a lot of difficult to reach locations such as the Kerry Cliffs. His driving was excellent and he has a great personality. Highly recommended.
Michael_S, Sep 2019
We had a great tour of the Ring of Kerry during our visit to Kenmare. Tony, our driver for the day, was waiting for us outside our B&B right on time. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. Tony was very attentive to us, insuring that we saw all of the wonderful sites. He was very entertaining.
I’d do it again!
Thomas_W, Jun 2019
We had a private tour with our tour guide Bryan Kelly, He was fantastic. Fun, informative, and very concerned about our desires for our trip. He went to places that the tour buses could not go and allowed us the time that we wanted to spend at each stop and stop at the locations that we wanted. He help create some beautiful memories for our family.

Our full day tour was the only way to see The Ring of Kerry. Our guide Peter was amazing. Knows the locals and was a vast wealth of information. If you do the whole day ttip GE is your best bet!
HarryP_R, Sep 2017
Peter was excellent. He arrived on time and had a great vehicle to take the four of us on a tour of the portion of the Ring we were most interested in seeing. He was very engaging and full of details and interesting stories. He gave us the option to do several side trips a chocolate factory, an ancient monastery site and also gave us a very good locals pub in which to have lunch. He is an excellent driver and as a result we were able to go along local roads that we would never have attempted if we were driving. The return to Kenmare through the mountain passes was a highlight. Peter is very knowledgable and enjoys sharing the history of the Kenmare area. We could not have had a more delightful day.
Elliot B, Sep 2017
We had a wonderful day with our guide Peter. Got to see quite a few beautiful places and he was very knowledgeable about the area. It was nice that we didn't have to drive and got to sit back and enjoy the scenery. The only confusion was that I had booked a half day trip and he thought we had a full day so it was a little bit rushed. I would definitely recommend Peter and this tour of the Ring of Kerry.
Kathy C, Aug 2017
Peter was the best tour guide - knowledgeable about the history, the stories, and really conveyed the local flavor. He took us by roads less traveled to really unique sites like Ballycarberry Castle and the Cliffs of Kerry. Awesome tour!
Paul C, Oct 2016
Peter was great. He took us to places the tour buses don't go. We had a wonderful day. I enjoyed talking to him. The ring of Kerry is beautiful. The cliffs of Kerry are not to be missed.
Kristi_H, Sep 2016
We had a wonderful day. Peter was a great guide and a wonderful source of information and knowledge about all things Ireland. He really made the day special. He took us to great out of the way places that the tour buses could never have gone. He was willing to answer all questions and found a nice, local place for lunch. I would highly recommend Peter and this trip to anyone considering a private tour. You won't be disappointed.
Julie_L, Aug 2016
we absolutely love the resort! it is situated in a beautiful surrounding, with a team of very wonderful staff. Cant ask for more. we will definitely come back to the lodge again.
Sarah C, Apr 2016
Booking this tour with Peter was the best decision we made in Ireland! Peter lives in and knows the area so he was able to take us places tourists might not otherwise know about, and traveling in a car means you can go places the tour buses can't! He knows how to plan the tour to avoid bus caravans as best as possible, he stops every single time you want to snap a photo and suggests where the best options are, suggests great lunch places populated by locals, and will customize the tour for you we ended up adding on the Gap of Dunloe as Peter suggested that we would be able to go through Killarney National Park on our journey onward the next day. Peter is so knowledgeable and answered all our questions, and even gave us suggestions for what to do that evening and where to stop in Killarney the next day! I would highly recommend booking his private tour of the Ring of Kerry, or any of his other tours - guaranteed it will be money well spent!!
