Kenmare town (Ceann Mara- head of the sea) Previously Neidin- little nest. 16th, 17th centry town of pirates and smugglers.

Traveler reviews
A great private tour
A fun & educational day. Piotr, our guide, is an excellent host, and keenly interested in local history. He customized the tour based on our interests, and delivered a very special experience including our visit to Valencia Island and Daniel O’Connel’s home town, the drive through the Ballaghbeama Gap, and a day free of tour buses and usual stops & crowds. Well worth the higher price.
Simply awesome!! More than I imagined
