The Best Two Day Tours in Ireland: The Ring of Kerry and Dingle Slea Head Tours

We had a group of 6 women. To say Gerard was patient is an understatement. He was also very knowledgable, accommodating and overall made the experience better than I expected. I can not say enough positive things about our time in Ireland & Killarney Guided tours

My wife and I booked 5 days with Gerard Scott for our first trip to Ireland; this included the Dingle Peninsula, The Ring of Kerry, The Cliffs of Moher as well as travel to Kilkee and Galway. Our objective was just to eliminate the driving to simplify our travel experience while exploring the southwest coast of Ireland. However, we were rewarded with so much more than a driver. Gerard has a lifetime of experience in this area and brought us to the planned attractions but also included unexpected stops at less well known spots (less crowds) to accommodate my photography interests. His suggestions for restaurants and live music were excellent, also enhancing our evening Irish experience. My wife has some Irish ancestry, but had very little idea of where they came from; just a name with birth and death dates. Gerard was able to determine the town of her ancestor's birth and included that town along the way. He was flexible and included things which we would find interesting based on his interaction with us. I suspect that other travelers might see different things based on their interests. It seemed that he learned our interests quickly allowing him to modify our experience on the fly. Because he has been living and working around Killarney all his life, he knows the people in the area as well as the places. This allowed us access to places or options that others might not have due to his relationships; everybody likes Gerard! Traveling with a photographer like myself can get tedious as we try to get the perfect point of view, lighting, etc. He made it easy on my wife by taking me to the perfect spot for each attraction (he is also a photographer) then chatting with her about the spot while I lined up my shots. He also lined up my wife for some better shots than I got. He also provided guidance for the time after he left us in Galway and for our time in Dublin. Simply put he was easy company with a deep knowledge of Ireland and a quick read of other people to allow him to fine tune your trip.

The agency needs to improve its coordination and customer service. There were multiple small issues that added up and affected the experience. The tour guide lacked enthusiasm. Not something I would highly recommend.

Gerard was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his part of Ireland, which made our time with him very enjoyable!

We booked Gerard for a two day tour from Galway to Killarney. He is a phenomenal guide. Knows every inch of the Ring of Kerry, is a great story teller, and is very in-tune with his guest's interests and energy levels (super important when traveling with kids). Also has a great van. I was also very interested in doing some genealogy and Gerard worked with me both before and after our trip. Long story short, with his help I was able to apply and obtain Irish citizenship.
