You have to like the natural beauty of the land in order to appreciate this tour. Our guide was friendly, informative and patient, waiting until we took our pictures.
We especially liked the restaurant he recommended.

It was a lovely experience. Jack was our horse and this was his first season. He was a sweet boy. Connor was knowledgeable and overall it was a great experience.

Lovely trip for my husband and myself. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us 10 minutes to take photos at Ross castle. Millie the horse was beautiful. We were so lucky with the weather which made the scenery stunning, but the carriage was covered and there were blankets if needed. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

Me and my partner went for a 1 hour ride around Killarney national park on Malachi. The driver ( Im terrible with names, sorry) was very knowledgeable about the history or the park and other areas of Killarney. He had good chat with us throughout the drive, stopping to let us take photos of wildlife and letting us off at Ross Castle to a walk around and take pictures. We would highly recommend to others wanting to book a horse and cart ride.

During a drizzly morning, which was our last in Killarney, Morris and Malachi gave us a wonderful tour of Killarney park where we got to see deer amongst the beautiful forest. A song from Morris was certainly a highlight.

We loved it my grandson who is almost 2 loved hearing the hooves and nodding to it! We loved visiting with Gussie and meeting Gerard who was a great tour guide! Wonderful experience!

Loved Gussie and Gerome! They gave us a beautiful tour and appreciated the kindness Gerome showed to Gussie. She's a beauty.

The route is beautiful and tranquil, but the trip was made exceptional by travelling across the "flooded" pathways owing to the recent storm.
Definitely a worthwhile expeeience when in Killarney!

We really enjoyed the tour. It was quite rainy but the covered cartiage and a blanket provided made it really nice and comfy. We saw some wild life, had extra time at the Ross Castle , and enjoyed rhe scenic views and interesting commentary by our guide. Would recommend this tour.
