Great tour to discover the Skellig Ring, an authentic part of Ireland, a true hidden gem. We were blessed with a mild weather but expect it to be extremely windy anyway. We made multiple stops along the way so it didn’t feel too tiring. Lunch in Portmagee was fine, but I wish we had more time there, so as at Derrynane House & gardens.

My wife and booked this small bus tour to explore the Ring of Kerry. The scenery was beautiful and our tour bus guide was knowledgeable, courteous and safe.

Phenomenal experience especially with a small group. We were to make many stops along the ring and to see the Skellig ring due to the smaller bus size. We were fortunate and had a sunny day. Beautiful scenery of ocean, mountains and villages.

I’ve done the ring before but drove myself. It was nice to be in a small group and be able to sightsee. As expected, some of the stops are very rushed. The stop at The Red Fox Inn was completely unneeded. Giant touristic mess. The Skellig Ring was the best part of the tour. Sit on the right side of the vehicle for the best views. If you stop at the Derrynane House, go down the path to the left of the entrance to see the dunes. Stunning. The driver may tell you there isn’t enough time. It seems it was a means (lie maybe) to funnel people to the cafe. Overall, a nice trip.

Great tour, with only one disappointment. The Red Fox Inn was a cheesy, crowded tourist trap. Other than that there was plenty of spectacular scenery with a lot of good stops. Martin, our guide was both entertaining and informative.

It was a delightful trip with a small group of people.
Our driver , Mike, is absolute gem of knowledge and kindness. Excellent driver and gave us a fantastic tour

An absolutely wonderful tour. The views were stunning and our guide's knowledge about the area made the drives in between locations feel like no time at all. The only issues I had were the size of the seats on the bus and the music. It should be advertised to that the bus is much smaller and thinner so that it can go to areas the big coaches can't. At 6'5" there wasn't a lot of leg room, and the seats were only wide enough to accommodate a child. Plus there are no cup holders or back of seat pockets. For the music, an 8+ hour tour should have longer than a 2 hour playlist. I love traditional Irish music, but after hearing the same songs over, and over, and over again there are now some that I can say I hate with a burning passion.

Great atmosphere on a smaller sized van, allowing us to access areas that were inaccessible for a large bus. Martin was a great driver and the perfect host for the day. So many beautiful sites and memories made. Thanks
