This was an absolutely perfect day from beginning to end. John is so knowledgeable about the country and history. He’s a great driver and his vehicle was very comfortable. I’d highly recommend his tour and will absolutely seek him out the next time declare in Ireland. It was almost like having a friend or family member show you around. Thank you, John!

Our private tour around the Ring of Kerry with John was the absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland. From the moment he picked us up, John made the entire experience feel personal, relaxed, and truly special. His knowledge of the area—its history, culture, and hidden gems—was incredible, and he shared everything with a perfect balance of storytelling, humor, and genuine passion for his country.
What made the day exceptional was John’s attention to detail. He customized the stops to match our interests, avoided the crowds effortlessly, and brought us to places we never would have discovered on our own. Whether it was a breathtaking viewpoint, a charming local café, or a quiet coastal road, every moment felt curated just for us.
John’s warmth and hospitality made us feel like we were traveling with a friend rather than a guide. By the end of the tour, we were already talking about coming back to explore more of Ireland with him.
If you’re considering a private Ring of Kerry tour, do yourself a favor and book with John—you’ll get an experience that is both memorable and deeply meaningful. Truly outstanding from start to finish!

Our driver John was absolutely wonderful! He shared fascinating information about the history of all the sites and was very kind to our kids. We had a fantastic time!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We had a wet and windy day on the Ring and still made great memories! A visit to Cahergall Stone Forts, the Lighthouse on Valentia Island, a Chocolate Factory, a 'sprinting session ' at the top of a windy Coomakista, a wander around the quaint town of Sneem, Ladies View and a walk through the forest to Torc Waterfall.... I enjoyed the day with you all!
Thank you Meghan for your review and you have a wonderful family.

Now that we have returned home and are back to driving on the right side of the road, we took some time to look at all our pictures last night. John was like a brother to us ❤️ We felt welcome, we got to see parts of the area that you don't see on a bigger tour, we learned about the history of the area and the country, and John's love and pride in his responsibility as an ambassador for the area and the country were abundantly shared with us. We were able to relax, enjoy the ride, we learned so much from John, and we saw only one tour bus all day! Our photos are brilliant! John took a lot of pictures of my husband and I, that I will treasure, because usually only one of us is in the photos as the other is the photographer! We are already thinking of when and how we can get back to the Killarney area and the wild and wonderful Atlantic Coast. We would call John again in a heartbeat! Well done John!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you Alice, and it's great to feel like part of the family! Find an excuse for you both to make it back to Killarney and we'll try to discover more tiny, windy roads!! Thank you for a really lovely review.
Best wishes, John.
Cynthia_L, Oct 2025
This tour was nothing less than incredible! We were picked up at our hotel and we started out on an 8 hour day of fun. The tour was filled with so much interesting information, fabulous sights and history. John is fantastic!! His car is comfortable, he is an expert on the area, and he made tht whole day fun. This tour was the highlight of our Ireland trip.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Cindy, thank you so much for your review. We had a great day on 'The Ring' and the time just flew by. It was great meeting you all finally, after all our email correspondence! I'm delighted the day worked out so well for you. Mabey you'll return to Ireland & do the Dingle & Slea Head Tour....
All the best, John.
JAMES_A, Oct 2025
John O'Reilly, our guide, did an outstanding job taking us to all of the "usual" places plus a whole bunch more. He was also very accommodating when one of our party got sick the night before our scheduled excursion. John was knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent driver on very narrow, winding roads.
I would whole-heartedly and enthusiastically recommend him.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you James for your review. It was a great day out and I'm delighted to have met the four of you, all fighting fit!!
I'm very much looking forward to our next big adventure....
Until we meet again, all the best,
John.
James_H, Oct 2025
Had a fantastic time with John! The trip was such a wonderful experience. We were able to see so many incredible views with a knowledgable guide.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi James,
It was a very enjoyable day out and thank you for your review. I'm delighted you had such a memorable experience, the highlight for me was all the sheep blocking the whole road on our way from Sneem to Molls Gap!!
My regards to all the Ladies and best wishes,
John.
Kathleen_Y, Oct 2025
Having John as our tour guide was an awesome experience. He took us to places the buses cannot reach, covered all of the highlights and really knew a lot of information about the history of places and significant people. The van was very comfortable and John was very attentive to our safety and comfort.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Kathleen,
It's great to hear you enjoyed your tour, it was lovely to meet the three of you. I hope the rest of your time in Ireland went well (including all the dinners!) Thank you for your review, it's most appreciated.
All the best, John.
Joe_P, Oct 2025
Great guide!, but you are subject to the weather on how much you can see. The agenda is flexible so you can adjust accordingly
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you Joe. It was a misty, wet day. But we did not allow the weather hold us back and made the most of it with memories still being created, including a visit to Muckross House. Even in bad weather we can have great day out!
All the best, John.

John was fabulous and the countryside was just beautiful. We had a wonderful time learning about the history of Ireland - he was so knowledgeable. The day felt both relaxing and packed with incredible views and experiences.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you Joan, it was great to meet the three of you and I'm delighted you enjoyed the Ring of Kerry, Skelligs Ring, chocolate and all...
Sherrie_J, Sep 2025
Our guide John was amazing. Very knowledge and cordial. This was a great way to see the countryside without having to worry about navigating the narrow, twisting roads. Since it was a private tour we could customize where we wanted to go, and the smaller vehicle allowed us to get into heritage sites that the huge buses can’t get to. We loved the Kerry Cliffs more than the Cliffs of Moher. It was a great value for the money!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Sherrie, thank you for your review. It's great to hear the Kerry Cliffs won out!! It was a very enjoyable tour, with rainbows and the sunshine following us around the 'Ring'...
Please give my regards to the Ladies.
Jeffrey_G, Sep 2025
We had a perfect day with John. Personalized tour allowed us to shape our experience and John added in special stops we wouldn’t have known to do on our own. Lastly, the van was able to get us to spots the large tour buses simply can’t get into!
Great Value! Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you Jeffrey for your review, we had a great day for the 'Ring' and I'm happy you all enjoyed the tour. My regards to Kelly and the 'Kids'!
Jackie_M, Aug 2025
We just finished the perfect day with John. We booked the Ring of Kerry with The Kerry Cliffs. John was in contact to see if there was anything special, we wanted to see. I told him to take us to all your favorite places. We’re so glad that we chose to have John drive us. He’s professional, knowledgeable and a great driver, He knows so much history of the area being born & raised here. It was the perfect way to see the Ring of Kerry . Thank you again John. It was a pleasure spending our day with you. Jackie & Tom
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Jackie & Tom, it's great to hear you had an enjoyable day on 'The Ring'. It was a memorable day and an absolute pleasure to have you on board. Thank you for your review and I hope our paths cross again someday.
Best wishes, John.

We had a lovely day on our tour around the Ring of Kerry with John. As a local he had great knowledge of the area and the history allowing us to see areas we wouldn’t have found any other way. John was very flexible and accommodating on our tour and had a great rapport with our entire family.
We would highly recommend John to anyone who wants to have the best experience in county Kerry.
Response from Host, May 2025
Hi Mark, thank you for your generous review. We had a really nice day out and squeezed in lots to see on our tour around the Ring of Kerry. I hope the rest of your vacation went well and you found somewhere nice to stay in Dublin!
It was lovely to meet you and the special Ladies in your life and may I suggest you start planning the Irish Golf Trip with your Sons!!
Best wishes,
John.
Marybeth_R, May 2025
This was a wonderful tour of the Ring of Kerry and the many sites you and from. But it was our fantastic tour guide, John O'Reilly who made our tour so very special. John knows his Irish and world history thoroughly, adding interesting highlights and stories along the way. He is a gem!!! Thank you so much John!! If I had more time this trip, I would book another day tour with him!
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you MaryBeth for your very kind review. It was a very enjoyable day, it flew by with all the questions and conversations. And the comic relief!
The weather was kind to us and it was great to view the Skellig Islands from the Kerry Cliffs.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your time in Ireland and I'm delighted to have met you.
All the best,
John
Erin_R, May 2025
John was the best driver!! He picked us up in a very comfortable van and had water for everyone. We were able to see so much in one day, and he asked us what we were interested in to personalize our tour. We started in Killarney and made our way all through the Ring of Kerry, ending at the Kerry Cliffs. Each stop he brought us right to the entrance and escorted us to make sure we knew exactly where to go and let us take as much or little time as we wanted. He was so knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our random questions. We truly could not have had a better experience!
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you Erin for your kind words.
It was great to meet you and your lovely family and I'm delighted you enjoyed the tour. I hope the golf went well at Dooks and also your family time in Kells.
Best wishes for the future (especially the next few months!!) and thank you for choosing me for your Ring of Kerry Tour.
John.
