A perfect day.

Mary was wonderful! We toured the Ring of Kerry and then some. Mary is VERY knowledgeable, shared many stories and information about what we were looking at. She never made us feel rushed when we stopped. I would highly recommend having Mary as a guide.

Perfect Private Ring of Kerry Tour

We had a wonderful experience with Mary! She is knowledgeable, personable, and so enthusiastic to share her country and heritage! She is a steady driver, and her vehicle is very comfortable. Everyone in our party was highly impressed and all of us would absolutely recommend booking Mary. She will also help with suggestions if you don't have everything for your trip fully plotted out yet!

Cannot recommend Mary enough!

After driving The Cliffs of Moher ourselves from Galway we decided to look into a guided tour of The Ring of Kerry. Calling Mary was the best decision we ever made! Not to mention that we called her the day before our anticipated tour date. We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private guided tour of the Ring of Kerry with Mary from Guided Tours with Mary G, and it was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Mary brought the route to life with her energy, warmth, and incredible knowledge. She didn’t just take us to the well-known spots, she introduced us to hidden treasures like Portmagee, Valentia Island, Kerry Cliffs, Skelligs Ring, Sneem, Torc Waterfall, and even treated us to a stop at the Skelligs Chocolate Factory. Each stop came with stories, history, and local insight that only someone with Mary’s experience could provide. Mary is personable, fun, and truly passionate about sharing Ireland’s beauty. Her impressive life experience and deep connection to the area shine through in every moment. Simply put, she is the supreme guide of Ireland, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re visiting and want the best of the Ring of Kerry, book with Mary G, you won’t regret it!

Happy Family!

Mary was informative and engaging. We learned a great deal about Ireland and the region. The ride was comfortable and we luckily had great weather to enjoy the sites. She was accommodating, allowing us to squeeze in the Cliffs of Kerry too.

Fantastic tour with Mary

Mary was a fabulous tour guide. Great knowledge of the area and history. She guided us to many remote local areas with incredible views. She gave us many options in terms of stops for drinks and food. She was pleasure to get to know on our journey. We’d highly recommend her for the Ring of Kerry tour.
