Wonderful, comprehensive tour of Dingle to Slea Head and more - We had a very knowledgeable guide and visited a few more historical sites than your average tour. Although we had a car I am glad we opted for a private tour - not only did we have extra context but we had more time to take in the scenery. He also pointed out several 4th century Ogham stones and explained the writing system. We would have passed them by without realising their significance.

Totally worth it - relaxing and informative - Billy is awesome! He grew up on the Dingle Peninsula and shares his own experiences of how it was 30 years ago. We comfortably fit 6 people in the van, but could have added another if we needed. All of us really liked the personal attention a private tour offers, and we were not disappointed. There were a few places to stop along the way and Billy let us stay as long as we wanted. He never rushed us. I thought the tour was only about 2 hours, so we had made plans for that evening. The tour is over 2 hours, I recommend you do not make plans for at least 3.5 hours after the tour start. Billy, we really wish we had had time to see the highest point in Dingle, next time we come to Ireland, we will have to make a point to stop there. Thank you so much for some great memories!

This was an incredible... - This was an incredible experience from pick up to drop off. Billy was so helpful, so kind and even cracked a few jokes. I would absolutely book with him again. This tour allowed us to go at our own pace, spending more time at the places that we found interesting. His van was incredibly clean and he did such a good job to make us feel welcomed. This was the highlight of our trip!

Breath taking views and great guide! - We went for the Slea Head tour after reading about it in Rick Steve’s travel book as it was highly recommended. It was incredibly beautiful annd some of the most breath taking views I’ve seen yet in Ireland. Billy was a great tour guide- local and very knowledgeable about the area. He flexed some for our schedule which was great. Having a private driver was totally worth it!

Fabulous tour - Billy was a wonderful guide. He took us to all the great spots and was knowledgeable about their history. He went above and beyond getting us close to spots and even took us to additional places we asked about. I would 100% recommend this tour! It was the best thing we did in Dingle!

Wonderful Tour of Dingle Area - Great afternoon traveling around the Dingle Peninsula with our guide Billy. We had to shorten our time due to a change in our ship schedule but Billy was able to get us to the sights we really wanted to see and what we were interested in. Billy was prompt, his van was clean and comfortable, and he was knowledgeable about the area. I would recommend booking with him.
