The tour was Ok. However...
The tour was Ok. However the driver was talking more about himself and his family than the history of the place.

A great way to see the Ring of Kerry while enjoying some great commentary
We spent the day traveling the Ring of Kerry with Kevin. He provided a great day full of information and fun commentary. Believe it or not, he even took us to see some very special sites, including a house where 5 Bishops lived. We highly recommend the tour with Kevin.
