BEST Dingle tour! - This was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Billy picked my family and I up from our Airbnb. We weren’t in any rush and neither was he so we spent the entire day together going to many beautiful spots. We only got to spend one full day in Dingle and we still say that this was the best part of our entire trip. When we return to Ireland we will definitely be spending more time in Dingle and will be touring with Billy again. Traveling with 4 small children is not easy, but Billy was extremely patient and kind to us. We recommend this tour 1000%!

Dingle past and present - on the road with someone who knows! - Billy is an amiable and knowledgeable guide. He knows all the stories and all the places! As someone who has known the Dingle countryside from boyhood, he is the best companion for discovering the interesting history, monuments and, sights of Dingle, both ancient and modern.

Delightful Time with Billy Exploring Dingle - We had THE best experience with Billy! To begin with, he was flexible with our pick-up and that really helped. He took us by and to so many amazing sites. As a lifelong Dingle resident with a generational imprint on the area, he was able to share so much information and personal insight into the sites. He was quite accommodating and regularly asked if we were okay or needed anything. We felt 100% safe and were certainly glad he was driving those roads. That way, we could look all around and not worry about oncoming drivers. We are so grateful we booked Billy and got to know him!

Highlight of our entire trip - This tour was the highlight of our Ireland trip. Billy was great! The scenic drive was beautiful and we were happy to have a local drive and share information instead of attempting the drive ourselves.

Great day in a spectacular place - We ( 2 couples) were fortunate enough to book a half day tour of the Dingle peninsula with Billy. He was entertaining, informative and a blast to spend time with. He safely took us to spots on the Dingle most sane people would never try driving to themselves and not just the loop around the peninsula. He was accommodating to the physical limitations of one member of our party .It was great day in a spectacular part of the world.

Fantastic tour, highly recommended. - We had a great time with Billy. We have a rental car, and I drove the Ring of Kerry, but I really wanted to enjoy the Dingle Peninsula without having to keep my eyes constantly on the road. Since it was just our family we were able to skip a couple sites that were of less interest, and add time at others. Billy told us about his family (his parents were dairymen with 16 cows) and showed us the elementary school he attended, and explained the history of each place we stopped.
