Traveler reviews
A little expensive, but a good tour
We really wanted to see the Ring of Kerry, but we decided to make our base Dublin, and this seemed like a good option. The guide at the train station was easy to spot, and the very nice older gentleman guide accompanied us on the train, where we all had seats. The transfer to the bus was easy, and the guide on the bus was great too. The weather didnt' cooperate too much, but it was a very nice day. The bus driver made several stops for us to get out and take pictures, and we pretty much saw what we wanted to see. The only con is the price, which I thought was pretty expensive compared to bus only tours, but we did go around the whole Ring. I originally had 2 tours booked and had to cancel one and switch the other due to my flight being cancelled, and they were accomodating except for charging a 10% fee, which I will try to claim from my trip insurance. Overall, very nice day.
Peter is good

We had an amazing day touring the ring of Kerry. Our host from rail tours John Todd was kind and fun to hangout with . His insights helped us to be prepared for the tours. Our host and driver Batt from deros was fun, energetic and helpful to every one on the bus. The last and only bit to note is that the time between some stops can be increased.
A must!!!!!
We enjoyed this tour so much! It was an amazing experience from start to finish.A special thank you to John Todd he was incredibly informative, friendly, and made the journey so enjoyable. We really appreciated all the stories and insights he shared, and it was a pleasure spending the day with him.Killarney was absolutely beautiful, with stunning scenery at every turn. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ireland!
Sustainable Ring of Kerry...Chose another tour!
It was a 111-mile drive on a bus...Not worth it! I did like the train ride, I love train rides. Pick another tour!
