Wonderful Tour with Great Guide Rory - My wife and I joined a small group for the Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head Group Tour with Rory as our guide. We both would give Rory an A+ or 5 stars for his excellent and informative ½ day tour of the Dingle Peninsula. Rory is a local guide with a great ability to share his knowledge of the local culture and customs and gave us a great efficient tour of multiple sites with an in-depth description, background, and importance of each location. Importantly, he was also skillful at conveying his love and respect of the land, the ocean, and his community. He was willing to honestly answer all questions and had a very good sense of humor. Overall, a wonderful experience and a terrific way to see many extraordinarily breathtaking beautiful sites along the Dingle Peninsula.

Book it, you won't regret it! - This was such an amazing cap to already amazing trip to Ireland. Our driver, Rory, was friendly, funny and knew so much about the area and history of Ireland. After doing the driving for 6 days, it was so nice to hand the keys over to someone else and sit back and enjoy the views. I honestly cannot recommend this tour, and I would guess any of their tours, enough!

Fantastic tour of Dingle Peninsula and terrific guide! Highly recommend!! - We has a great time on this tour!! By far our best experience on the trip. The tour was on-time and we saw ALL the stops we had hoped to see in Dingle. The scenery was amazing and having the chance to hold the lambs was so fun! It was nice having someone else drive and not have to worry about directions or the narrow roads as well. More importantly, we could enjoy all the sights while our guide lead the way… up until then my boyfriend did all the driving so was a nice break. Our guide Michael was the BEST! So informative and being a from the area, could really bring to life the history with his own personal stories. We enjoyed him very much and appreciated him being so accommodating on the ride. Would highly recommend Michael and this tour to others!! You get it all!

Great trip! Rory was very knowledgeable and kind. - Great way to see slea head drive, stop at the highlights, and learn something along the way from a local. Nice not to have the pressure of driving on those roads that are carved into the mountains. Would recommend to anyone.

Awesome Morning in Dingle - We had an awesome day with Rory touring Dingle. He was very knowledgeable about the area as a local and even recommended other activities and restaurants to go to (in and outside Dingle). The views were breathtaking and he knew just where to take us! We would definitely do this tour again when we return to Dingle.

Wonderful tour guide, bad weather didn’t ruin our time - Our guide Colm was wonderful, witty and and made up for the fact that it was so foggy, we saw very little of the beautiful views, which was unfortunate, but weather can’t be controlled. We had lots of fun, great tour! Loved Dingle

Best tour guide and best price - Rory's knowledge of the area. He grew up there and lives there with his wife and children. He stopped at all the best views for photos and was able to answer every question asked. Very friendly and engaging. The price was much less than other tours.

Nice tour of Slea Head - This was a very nice tour of Slea Head Drive. We got to hold and feed baby lambs, which my daughter loved of course. The scenery was nice and we got to be driven down to a couple places instead of walk. Our driver/guide Karen was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Saw and learned a lot - Our guide, Michael, was excellent. He gave the local color as well as the historic significance. We stopped and got out of the van a lot to see and walk and photograph many beautiful sights. Sitting in the very back of the van was a little cumbersome sometimes but it was a great experience overall.
