Outstanding experience all around!

Outstanding experience with Damien! We went with our four year old and he was wonderful with kids, knowledgeable about the area, and offered suggestions for our exploring the area! When we return we will book again with Damien! Thanks for great memories!

We really enjoyed our trip with Damien and Molly. Damien was entertaining with discussions around the history and nature of the area as well as some farming anecdotes. And Molly was definitely the prettiest horse we saw all day.

The tour takes you to a monastery and the surrounding cemetery and the “Irish Tree of Life.” You only get a very small glimpse of Killarney National Park. The tour guide was extremely nice and very informative. Overall, it was okay but I thought we would see a little more of the park.

A must do experience!

What a fun, educational and happy experience we had with Damien and Daisy! Our carriage was beautiful and pristine and Daisy delighted us with her prancing trot and fashionable and flattering head ornament. Damien had very useful suggestions regarding what to visit on our own and why. All in all, by the end of our ride we were all seriously contemplating a return trip to the area!

Lovely tour

We loved the visit to the Muckcross Abby included with this tour. The tree of life was amazing. Damian McCarthy was kind enough to bring us all the way to the door of our hotel afterwards.
