Wonderful - Sea’n was amazing. Our driver Sara Jane was wonderful. We had a fold up wheelchair and they were both so very helpful. The stories Sea’n told were very insightful. He is full of so much knowledge of the area. I would definitely do this tour again. The small size was amazing.

Favorite tour (and best tour company!) in Ireland - My wife and I came to Ireland on our honeymoon and ended up doing two different private tours. Our first tour was for the Cliffs of Moehr with a different company. We enjoyed that tour, but this Ring of Kerry trip through MunsterBus was significantly better than the other tour company. If you are looking to do a private tour in Ireland, I cannot recommend enough booking this experience through Viator or direct with MunsterBus. They are definitely who we will use when we come back to Ireland. We went on a slightly rainy day, but even without perfect weather this was the highlight of our Ireland trip. The scenery is stunning, and it’s not as rushed as some of the other full day 12-13 hour trips where you’re constantly in a hurry. Our tour guide Tony Murphy was fantastic and went above and beyond to give us a great day. We loved the entire experience and cannot wait to come back one day.

Loved the tour around Kerry - Munsterbus Private tour was the best part of our trip. Our Driver tailored our drive to what we really wanted to see by asking questions at the beginning of the tour. We loved it and honestly wished we had planned multiple days with them.

Perfectly intimate, not hectic, beautiful - Highly recommend!!! The views were amazing, also the format of the tour is ideal for people who like to have flexibility in terms of pace of the tour and want to explore the delights of the ring of Kerry in a relatively short period of time without too much exertion. Essentially ideal when traveling with kids and the elderly. We travelled with our parents who are 60+ and this tour allowed us to enjoy time as a family while not getting tired from hectic schedules that generally accompany group tours. Tony our tour conductor was amazing as he patiently explained to us various trivia about the Irish and Ireland as we drove by the beautiful country side soaking up the beautiful views of the ring of Kerry. We stopped at beautiful locations and even had the opportunity to try delicious Irish food, do some shopping and also have the most amazing scones ever in a delightful eatery overlooking a lake.

The best way to see the Ring of Kerry and beyond - 5 stars are not enough to rate our tour with Tony as our guide and driver. We experienced the very best of not just the Ring of Kerry but also went where the big busses can’t, going through the town of Portmagee and off the beaten path for amazing views of Skellig Michael. Lots of stops, lots of history and maybe, just maybe, a tall tale or two. Tony kept us entertained, engaged and safe on the roads fit for the professional drivers, navigating the way around in a comfortable van giving the 6 of us all a window seat to amazing sites. This is truly the best way to see the Ring as we made more stops and stayed longer because we didn’t have to unload 50 people at each stop and enjoyed our interaction with Tony as if he was part of our traveling group.

Stellar private day tour from Cork to the Ring of Kerry - We booked and took a private tour for 5 people from Cork with Munsterbus Tours on 9/28/2022. Tony Murphy was our driver and guide, and it was a day and money well spent. Tony was a solid driver and did a wonderful job of teaching us about the places we visited, played fun music, was accommodating of our frequent requests for bathroom breaks, and was quite lovely to talk to. He contacted me the day before the tour, and kept me up to speed as he was on his way to pick our group up. The bus could hold up to 15 people, so there was plenty of room for the 5 of us. I wholeheartedly recommend booking Munsterbus Tours if you are seeking a stress-free and really decent touring experience in Ireland. This trip was a family one with all adults, and after learning that Munsterbus does custom tours that include hotels, we'll definitely be booking them again for future trips to Ireland, which is a frequent vacation destination for us. Really worth it.

Breathtaking scenery with an engaging, witty, and informative driver! - Wonderful tour! Our driver and guide Jim O’Shea was witty, informative, engaging and an excellent driver. He shared his observations on Irish history, pointing out monuments to those who fought and died for independence from Britain; his pride and joy in sharing in the indescribably beautiful scenery we saw on the journey; and throughout the 9 plus hours, he had us laughing with tales about the people he’s encountered in decades of driving. With our approval, he deviated from the Ring of Kerry to take us to see the Skellig Rocks and breathtaking views of Dingell Bay, with a stop for lunch at a local seaside pub and restaurant. He also took us to Skellig Chocolates for free samples (of course we couldn’t pass on buying some), where you can see the chocolates made right across from the bay, before returning to the Ring of Kerry road. Book this tour and make sure you ask for Jim!

Always schedule MUNSTERBUS Tours! - Actually we enjoyed the interesting Best of Cork and Kerry Highlights as our guide accommodated our preferences! We had a terrific day exploring dramatic countryside and quiet villages while learning Irish history and gaining new insights into some of our own backgrounds in the States. We savored lunch of quiche and cottage pie with pints at a sidewalk café, were serenaded by street musicians while investigating local art and colorful woven goods shops for treasures to take home. It was a luxury to take our time where we wanted. The folks at MUNSTERBUS Tours know what they are doing and make lovely hosts for the homeland they love.
