Magnificent trip! Our guide, Kevin, made sure we saw all there was to see. The vistas were amazing. So surprised to surfers in the 14’ water!

Impressive tour (including bog village, sheepdog show and of course the beauty of the scenery along the route with special points of interest from the dolmen to Charles de Gaulle and from Skelligs to Ladies' view) with a professional guide also ensuring a good mood along the way.

Really good tour overall. Be prepared it’s a lot of driving with some quick photo stops mixed in though that is normal for a ring of Kerry tour. Driver/guide was great. One big key is the bus had 2 doors which on quick stops was actually important. But overall a really good ring tour.

Truly a fabulous tour! David was informative, engaging, funny, and kind. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the history, locations, and people all along the Ring of Kerry drive. His personal experiences in a number of the little towns along the way added to the richness of the tour experience. Our 3 young adult children said this was one of their favorite tours ever - high praise indeed!
Patricia_S, May 2026
Nice scenic drive but felt a bit rushed. The driver was always saying we would hurry up to do this and that. He would also tell us about some landmark coming up but wouldn’t tell us which side of the bus to look out of!
There really should be a guide giving I all the info instead of the driver. He was also using his phone while he was driving which I thought was poor. He was a good driver but that is not okay.
Jack_M, May 2026
It was amazing, the tour guide Kevin knew loads about the area and best spots to take pictures, the sheepdog experience was quite interesting.
Denis_M, May 2026
You get to see beautiful vistas.
Kevin was extremely informative, (and, at times, funny).
Loved the sheep dog demonstration.
Dooley’s was an excellent lunch recommendations.
Sherry_L, May 2026
What a wonderful way to see the landscape of Ireland’s Ring of Kerry! Our guide, Kevin, was knowledgeable, funny, kept us on schedule and expertly navigated the roads! His anecdotal stories added so much to the experience.
Brooklyn_B, May 2026
It was a 10/10 time, views were stunning, we had great weather. Tour guide David was very informative and funny. I also left my very expensive camera on the bus and he found out it was mine and brought it back to my hotel. Complete life saver! Great driving!
ellen_l, May 2026
spectacular views and plenty of photo ops. our tour guide david was very nice and informative would highly recommend this instead of driving those roads myself
Katrzyna_S, May 2026
It is a perfect way to reach beautiful places without a car. The trip was well planned, and you can learn interesting facts during the journey.
Ashley_H, May 2026
I would recommend this tour a million times over! It was so nice to not have to drive the Ring of Kerry, and to be able to enjoy the scenery. There were just the right amount of stops to take pictures, stretch legs, get food, etc. The sheepdog demonstration and bog village both left memorable impressions on us and I'm glad we did them too. Kevin was amazing and we were so lucky to have him as our guide; and Anna behind the scenes was so helpful for me as someone new to the area figuring out the pickup locations. I highly recommend this tour!

Parking is super easy; large lot at the tourism office (remember to pay for parking and leave the ticket face-up on your dash). Bus is comfortable and David, our driver, was a very knowledgeable local with a lot of good information about the towns and environs. Stop at the herding dog demo was great, and the bog village museum was fun to roam around in (with 2 very well behaved wolfhounds). Lots of scenic overlooks. A day well spent (runs from 9 to around 5).
Veronika_K, May 2026
Definitely recommend this tour. Ring of Kerry is a lovely sight, and Sean did a lovely job giving the history about the area.
Barb_D, May 2026
This is a fast paced tour that covers a lot of area in a day. The stops were wonderful and the scenery was beautiful. Our tour guide was funny and gave us a lot of interesting information about Ireland and the areas we stopped at. It was nice that it was a smaller bus so we could stop at out of the way areas. I highly recommend this day trip.
Cecile_B, May 2026
That was amazing. The scenary is incredible and the driver was so nice and explained everything. I would recommend this tour
Jen_D, May 2026
We booked the Ring of Kerry tour about an hour before the tour because it was supposed to rain all day, and being from the states we did not want to try to do the combination of roads & rain, plus we wanted to both enjoy the views without one of us having to do the driving. BEST DECISION EVER! First, it did not rain a drop until we were about 5 minutes from our drop off after it was over but I had zero regrets. We had such an amazing time, and we enjoyed so many viewpoints and stops that we would not have enjoyed without embarking on the tour. We stopped for a dog and sheep show, we held baby sheep and enjoyed pictures with ( both favorite events for everyone ), we saw skellig islands, ladies view, and so much more. We stopped in town for a great lunch, we stopped toward the end for homemade ice cream. We learned a ton of historic information from our driver and tour guide Kevin who was the best. If you’re on the fence about taking the tour, take the tour. You won’t regret sitting back and enjoying your time and you’ll even get to enjoy things you wouldn’t have otherwise done.
William_B, May 2026
Good tour and able to stop at a few nice places for photo ops. I would’ve liked to take some more stops at some of the famous natural places instead of spending time in the towns but a good tour overall
Peter_S, May 2026
This Ring of Kerry tour is amazing. The beauty and the million shades of green are just breathtaking. Our driver David grew up and lives in Killarney and knows everything about the area. Do not miss this tour!
Carrie_W, Apr 2026
David was an incredible tour guide! We enjoyed the day and appreciated all the information that was shared
David_P, Apr 2026
Our driver/guide Dave was great - charming, funny, knowledgeable - all the best ingredients for a fun and engaging tour.
David_P, Apr 2026
Kevin provided us a great day both driving and as our guide. We got to see beautiful scenery in the smaller bus and took some awesome photos we otherwise wouldn’t have gotten. It was a great day!
Michael_E, Apr 2026
The tour director and the drivers of both tours my wife and myself were very pleased with the professional of personality of both, and very informative of Kerry’s history and the surrounding areas.
Diane_D, Apr 2026
Kevin was a wonderfully informative and entertaining bus driver and tour guide. His stories and wit kept us engaged and laughing. He operated that big bus on those narrow roads like a pro. The beauty of this tour was breathtaking. There were many opportunities to get out and take pictures and explore. We especially liked the sheep dog show and Irish coffee stop, the Skellig stop for pictures and chocolate factory stop, and the scenic Ladies View stop. This stands out as one of the best tours. Thank you, Kevin!
Howard_B, Apr 2026
This was an excellent tour. David was wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The whole route was beautiful.

The Ring of Kerry tour stands out as one of the most unforgettable adventures I had during my time in Ireland—and a big part of that was thanks to our fantastic guide, Aiden.
We kicked off the journey on the Saturday before Easter, with everyone already in a festive mood. But in the distance, a powerful Atlantic storm was making its way toward the coast, adding an unexpected thrill. As the day unfolded, the weather grew more dramatic—gusty winds, sudden rain showers, and winding coastal roads challenged us, turning the ride into a real adventure. Surprisingly, that only made the experience more exciting.
Aiden managed everything with remarkable professionalism and ease. It was clear we were in expert hands. Navigating the narrow, twisting roads of the Ring of Kerry with confidence, he adjusted his driving to ensure safety while keeping the mood light. When the strong winds whipped up, he stayed calm and reassuring, even cracking jokes to keep spirits high—transforming what could have been a stressful day into pure fun and memorable.
What truly impressed me was Aiden’s dedication to giving us the full Irish experience despite the weather. Whenever it was safe, he’d pull over at breathtaking scenic spots, giving us the chance to step out, snap photos, and take in the wild beauty of the landscape—the windswept cliffs, moody skies, and all. His perfect timing and judgment enriched the entire journey.
As someone with disabilities, I deeply appreciated Aiden’s kindness and attentiveness. He went out of his way to help me get on and off the bus, especially when the wind was at its strongest. His patience and genuine care made a world of difference, allowing me to fully enjoy every moment.
Beyond his expert driving, Aiden’s warm personality truly stole the show. He was hilarious, engaging, and passionate—sharing stories and Irish history that truly brought the trip to life. Even during the storm, there was never a dull moment.
Out of all the tours I took in Ireland, Aiden was unquestionably our favorite guide. He turned a challenging weather day into an unforgettable highlight—and I can’t recommend him enough.

It covered great stops plus more, should bring your own snacks and beverages , the seafood chowder in Waterville was amazing skip the village not worth the money.
Sierra_C, Apr 2026
David was the BEST tour guide who gabbed the entire trip to share his knowledge about Killarney and the Ring of Kerry. Take him up on his photography offers, his photos were the best of the trip. Personally, I would have skipped the Kerry Bog Village Museum but absolutely loved the Sheep Dog demonstration.
Maria_D, Apr 2026
Excellent experience! The tour guide was very informative. All of the stops were beautiful and the bus was very comfortable.
Dan_W, Apr 2026
