Beautiful but extra stops

Conol was an amazing tour guide and we saw some truly beautiful scenery!! There was just more stops than the itinerary said and at 2 of them you had to pay more to do an activity (although it was optional). I just would’ve liked to have had a more accurate picture!

Ring of Kerry and Killarney

Ring of Kerry review: This was definitely a solid tour. Unfortunately it was very foggy on the day we went so had to skip some stops but that is not the company’s fault. I enjoyed the stop we made at the red fox inn and ladies view was breathtaking. There was a bit of confusion at Killarney as the driver gave us the option to walk around freely or take a ride in a house drawn carriage through Killarney national park. However, we had trouble understanding the driver and thought it was a choice between horse carriage or the national park. Anyway once the confusion was sorted we did the horse carriage and it was very pleasant! Lunch was also very efficient as the pub we went to had a great system for getting everyone fed. On a clearer day I’m sure there would have been much more to see.

Great experience, Driver/guide Connor eas top notch.

Lovely experience. Connor was our guide and he is top notch. I'd do any tour where his positive, chatty and informative personality is at the helm.
