Traveler reviews
Ring of Kerry must do!
What a fantastic day we had today! Peter was a wonderful tour guide! We were originally a little unsure about the expense of this tour, but we are very glad we took the plunge! Firstly, this is a private tour and you're in a van. This smaller vehicle allows access to places the big tour busses just can't get to. Additionally, you're not stuck with 80-100 of your "closest friends!" 😉 Peter, will tailor your trip to see the sights you really wish to see, so you don't have to spend hours doing/seeing stuff you really didn't want to do/see. One last thing- the Kerry Cliffs are a must see destination. Check any tour that you're considering carefully. They don't all go there! Don't let the price scare you off, this tour is well worth every penny!
Excellent tour
Excellent tour. Peter was very knowledgeable. Beautiful sites all along the way.
From the time Richard...
From the time Richard picked us up at our hotel we felt like we were traveling with a friend. He customized our trip around the things we wanted to see during the day. We went to places that the tour buses could not go, making the crowds non existent. I would highly recommend booking with Peter.
