Perfect Day Touring the Ring of Kerry
Peter is an excellent tour guide who's both personable and very attentive. His knowledge of the Ring of Kerry was impressive and informative. The views are breathtaking and the scenery captivating. We enjoyed our time with Peter and the wonderful day he provided. I highly recommend this tour.
Highly recommend a private tour with Peter.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely unforgettable private tour from Killarney yesterday, exploring the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Kerry, Dingle, and the beautiful waterfall in Killarney National Park. Our guide, Peter, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging — his stories and insights brought the history and beauty of the region to life. The day was perfectly paced, with so many memorable stops along the way, each more breathtaking than the last. From stunning coastal views to charming local spots, Peter made sure we didn’t miss a thing. It was a truly special experience, and we couldn’t recommend this tour more highly!
We had a wonderful day...

Peter Stanley’s Ring of Kerry Tour put me in touch with my Irish DNA
Peter Stanley Tours (Peter, himself) provided a 5-star Ring of Kerry tour for we first-time visitors to Ireland. Advance communication was consistent & he arrived to pick us up in Kenmare as scheduled. Customized the tour for what we thought we wanted to see, and added in his highlights which were all wonderful. We learned Irish history, why sheep are “painted” and tidbits about past and present life in Ireland. My ancestors are from County Kerry & his tour helped me get in touch with my Irish DNA. Highly recommend Peter Stanley Tours.
Fabulous tour of Ring of Kerry with Peter Stanley Tours
We booked a Ring of Kerry tour With Peter Stanley Tours. We could not have been more pleased!!! Peter is so knowledgeable about all of the main sites around the Ring. He took us to all of the sites we wanted to see. I was suffering with a bout of sciatica, so he helped me in and out of the van with a little step stool. He so kind, and a wonderful Guide!
