Traveler reviews
Jaunty Killarney Ride
We had a simply wonderful experience with Damien, our jaunty driver. He was a handsome young man with excellent personality making our ride exceptional in every way. Damien took great care in his horsemanship and demonstrated a genuine love for his work, Ireland and his horses. He was very knowledgeable and engaged in exceptional conversation, cultural elements and history of the beautiful Killarney National Park. His horses today was Duke, an exceptional specimen at a full 18 hands high. Damien and Duke were outstanding ambassadors and we loved the tour very much. We highly recommend this tour and our driver!!!
Fantastic trip
Damien was fantastic. Funny, knowledgeable, kind, obviously loves his horses. We had a lovely chat and he even let me drive Molly! Molly also appreciated the apples I brought!
Damien and Molly delivered a great tour!
Damien and Molly, the horse power, gave us a great, relaxed tour within Killarney Nat’l Park! Damien provided historical accounts along the route and pointed out various native plants and animals. Meeting spot was easily located and we stayed warm with wool blankets. We stopped for pics among the beautiful scenery too! Great tour!
National Park
Damien our driver was so personable and shared his knowledge of the surrounding area. I gave my review 4 stars because I thought we would see more of the park but we throughly enjoyed the Muckross Abbey
Great start to the Ring of Kerry!
Damien was our driver and was an absolute delight. Molly was a beautiful horse and the carriage kept us dry. We went into the National Park and visited the Muckross Abbey. Highly recommend McCarthy’s Carriage Rides!!
