Unforgettable Ring of Kerry Tour! - We had the most amazing day touring the Ring of Kerry. Tony O’Brien, our tour guide was fantastic. He is from Killarney and is so proud to show you his country. He is a skilled driver and so knowledgeable. Tony was really accommodating and took the best care of our family (2 adults and a 7 and 5 year old). He was happy to stop anywhere anytime for as long as we wanted and knew the best spots. He took us to all of the key locations (Molls Gap, Ladies View, Torc Waterfall etc.) but also little extras. We felt like we were with an old friend. He really took his time. Thank you Tony for a day we will remember forever!

10/10 Experience! - My friend and I booked a private Ring of Kerry tour with Darek as our guide. He picked us up from our hotel right on time and was a fantastic guide throughout the experience. He was accommodating throughout the entire day, making stops along the way whenever we wanted to (photos, coffee, snacks) or needed to and the trip took a little over 9 hours total. We stopped what must've been 20 or so times to see many hidden gems you wouldn't have seen or heard about unless you were with a local that knows the area. He was an experienced driver too, so we felt very comfortable with him behind the wheel. Darek has so much information to provide our group about historical events and present day history, and politely answered every question that came his way. We were touring Cliffs of Moher the next day and gave us helpful recommendations. He was kind, accommodating, funny, and informative- making this an unforgettable experience. Thank you Darek!

Outstanding tour - This is the BEST way to see the Ring of Kerry. William is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history of Ireland in general. He took us places where the large tour coaches do not/cannot go, namely the Kerry Cliffs and seeing Skellig Michael. We had as much time as we needed to take in the sights. The convenience of being picked up/dropped off at our BnB was an added bonus. Thank you, William, for a very memorable day! Peter & Maggie

Fantastic Tour! - We toured a full day with William Fleming through the Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring. He picked us up at 9:30 AM at our B&B and we didn't get back until almost 7:00 PM. Long day but most enjoyable, went fast and we didn't want it to end. Several stops were made along the way for picture taking. The views got better and better as we went along. I've been on bus tours before but the private tour we had with William cannot compare. If you saw something you wanted to photograph, William would stop so you could get out and get a picture. We never felt rushed and spent more than enough time at each sight. He was most knowledgable about Irish history and culture, which was very interesting. I've been on bus tours before but the private tour with William cannot compare. The tour also included a ferry ride to Valentia Island, Torc Waterfall, Portmagee, Bog Village, Killarney National Park's Ross Castle and many other nice stops in between! We were taken to areas off the beaten path where tour buses couldn't go. Looking forward to our next trip back to Killarney. We will definitely be booking another tour. Thank you, William, for helping us to make some wonderful memories. Susan & Angie

A Most Excellent day sightseeing around the Ring of Kerry - We had a great tour with William. He was a delightful tour guide and showed us all the sights we expected. The pacing was just right, we never felt rushed. We had originally thought we would drive the ROK, but decided to leave the driving to the professionals after a few days of driving ourselves. This was a good move, so we could both be engrossed in the beauty of the ROK. It was great to have a knowledgeable guide to show us around. I would highly recommend this tour, it was well worth the money! Thanks William for a great day in Ireland! - Dee & Mike
