Kevin was our driver his local understanding Provided a very meaningful experience ! He went out of his way to ensure that we would be able to capture pictures that will have long lasting impacts !
This was an excellent experience. Multiple wonderful stops. Beautiful views. Excellent food. Kevin was so funny.
This was a brilliant breath taking way to see this part of Ireland without the stress of driving it yourself. Our guide was so entertaining, kind, funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Outstanding tour. David was an exceptional host. Learned more than I expected from him. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the are. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the beautiful Irish countryside.
David was an amazing, engaging, caring tour guide! We learned so much about the area from him. The stops were all top notch and well timed (length at each place AND spaced along the route). I would encourage anyone to do this tour!
This trip was not nearly as good as other Viator tours we’ve taken. It started with the tour guide calling me repeatedly 10 mins before the tour start time telling me we needed to be there because he was ready to leave. We ended up leaving 5 mins before the tour was scheduled to start. At every start he said “we don’t have much time, you need to be quick”. We had to pay separately for the first two “optional” stops. While the stops were decent, The only option was a gift shop if you didn’t want to pay. The second stop only accepted cash. None of this was made clear in advance. The overall tour was a bunch of very short photo ops with a few shopping stops thrown in. Overall, it was disappointing

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this tour fell short of your expectations, especially regarding the rushed feel and the early departure. While keeping to a schedule is important, our guests should never feel hurried, and we are following up with our driver team about pacing.
Regarding optional stops, while cash requirements are outlined during booking, we appreciate your note on how this was handled during the trip itself. We value your input and will use it to make our itineraries and daily communication clearer for future travelers.
Absolutely terrific. Kevin provided an absolute wealth of knowledge of everything we were passing, and he seemed to know everyone as well! Although the weather turned iffy after the Bog Village (great!), and the Sheepdog Show (marvellous!) we still got views of the Skelligs and Carraig Lomain (Lemon Rock). We enjoyed the free samples at the Chocolate Factory, before we had a lovely lunch of Irish Stew in Dooley's Seafood & Steakhouse in Waterville. The last proper stop was in the picturesque village of Sneem. My wife and I both thought this trip represented superb value for money and many thanks to Kevin and the Killarney Executive Tour Co. for making it possible.
I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Kevin O'Sullivan, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He kept the tour very interesting and entertaining. When I go back, I would definitely repeat this tour with the same guide.

Kevin was a charming tour guide; Funny, friendly, and personable. The scenery is spectacular. Time allocated to stops was just right. We loved everything on the tour but Kell's sheepdogs may have been the favorite. Thank you for a wonderful day.

We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your time on board with us - Kell's Sheepdogs are always a highlight for our passengers and for us too! Thank you for travelling with us!
A lovely tour. David is very informative and funny. A wonderful opportunity to drive around the ring of Kerry if you don't have your own vehicle.

Thank you for your review and rating of our Ring of Kerry Tour, the team are delighted to hear you enjoyed your time out with us!
We had a fantastic experience on our Ring of Kerry bus tour, and a huge part of that was our driver, Dave. He was an excellent driver, professional, friendly, and clearly experienced.
Dave was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared so much interesting information along the way.
He also had a great sense of humor and even shared a “dad joke”!
We were fortunate to have a clear day and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
We enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Ring of Kerry.

Thanks so much for your review and recommendation of our tour! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time out with David on the Ring of Kerry!
We had a good driver that had lots of local knowledge and knew the best places to stop for photos. That being said, the bus was uncomfortable (especially for tall people) and I wish the tour group was smaller.
I feel I would have enjoyed the experience better if we could have spent more time on the experiences and less time on the photo ops. We could have skipped the bog village entirely - that was the worst stop. However, the sheepdog demonstration was incredible and one of the best activities of our whole week in Ireland. Everything else was incredibly rushed, such as stopping for 3 minutes just to take a photo. You didn't have time to enjoy the scenery.

Thank you for your feedback, we are always looking for ways to improve our tours, so will definitely take your points on board.
All the best from the Killarney Executive Tour Co Team.
This bus tour was an excellent way to explore the Ring of Kerry. Our driver/tour guide David was knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area and humorous too. He also seemed to know everyone we came across including the local Garde at a road stop. The Bog Village was educational, and the sheepdog demonstration was fascinating. The scenic viewpoints were outstanding. I would recommend this tour to anyone. One warning - be sure to arrive early though, if you want a good seat on the bus.
Overall nice tour. Could be a bit shorter or allow more time in some sections by eliminating the overly commercial Kerry Bog Village and the Chocolate Factory stops. Location for lunch not well organized took too long for the amount of time alloted. The rest of the tour was good.
Kevin was our guide, and he was wonderful (funny, knowledgeable, entertaining). We got to see some beautiful sights even though we missed some because it was so cloudy. Definitely glad we didn't try to drive the Ring of Kerry ourselves (the roads are SO narrow and I want to be looking at the hills/cliffs/coast and not at the road!)
Kevin had lunch all planned out so they were expecting us and the restaurant had great beach views. The sheepdog demonstration is fantastic.
We had a wonderful driver that made for such an interesting experience. He was a local and shared many stories about his home and country. The scenery was spectacular, and so much more than I expected. So glad I didn’t have to worry about driving the very curvy roads. I was about to sit back, relax and enjoy the views… not to me missed!
The driver and tour guide is a local guy, who knows places, events and people. It is a tour packed with events and stops. We really enjoyed it.
Amazing tour of the some of the finest countryside on the planet. Our driver, Kevin, was personable, knowledgeable, and spirited in his guidance throughout the day. The weather was not ideal for our tour yet we made the most of it and had some great stops. In our experience, the stops with additional admission fees were well worth the additional (nominal) cost. This tour was among biggest highlights of our trip to Ireland!
Plan on 7-8 hours. Select the best pickup location and be early to select your seat. Executive Tours is good. Bring EU cash.
It was very informative, it was great! I would have never wanted to drive this road. Would love to do it again.
This is a great tour. There are a lot of stops to see the beautiful Ring of Kerry. The bog museum is a bit of a tourist trap but still interesting. Kevin was a humorous guide. They will guide you to one particular lunch place in Waterville, but there are other places to go. A very good tour.
Great Day. Kevin the driver very informative and good craic. An amazing experience! I highly recommend 👌
Beautiful part of the world. Loved the little towns, the commentary to go with it and a good stop for lunch
This was an amazing tour with David. He was funny, personable and so knowledgable about the history and geography of the region. He shared everything he knew and it made us want to come back to see all that we missed this time. This was so worth the time and money, and we are so glad we chose to spend the day on the ring of Kerry.
This was a magical tour. After reading about the Ring of Kerry and imagining what it might be like this far exceeded it. Kevin our guide gave us so much information about the sites and local stories we would never have known. He was terrific. The best advice I could give is take the tour, don't drive it. You get so much more with a guide and the narrow roads are too stressful.
Fabulous tour with stunning scenery!! This tour actually does everything on the itinerary. It provides a bonus area of the skellig area that other tours do not. Our driver, Kevin, was fabulous! The driver can make the tour, and Kevin enhances the experience. I would highly recommend.
Definitely plan to see the border collie herding sheep. Amazing communication between master and dog!
Kevin was wonderful and funny, informative and efficient. Everything ran on time, and the views were wonderful.
Great day tour hitting the highlights of the Ring of Kerry. The sheepdog demonstration was especially fantastic!
