- Conor Pass - Conor Pass rises 456 feet vertically from the sea, to serve as a passageway between the Sliabh Mish Range and Mount Brandon. It is Ireland’s highest mountain road. This winding, alpine route offers breathtaking views for those brave enough to travel the precipitous road where Blackface Mountain sheep are more abundant than cars. The pass’s summit offers breathtaking views of Brandon Bay to the north and Dingle Bay to the south. As we move on, the landscape transitions to a deep glacial cirque, dotted with magnificent alpine lakes and waterfalls. Many travellers skip this route because it is difficult, but with Mossie’s Tours, you are free to sit back and enjoy the view.

Personal tour of Conor Pass/Slea Head plus so much more! - Amazing, personal tour around Conor Pass and Slea Head with Helen. Spent a whole day experiencing the hidden gems and hearing the history and legends about the area - we didn't want the day to end! Wonderful to leave the driving to a pro for one day and just be immersed in the area.... would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best tour and best tour guide ever! - The tour was wonderful. Great scenery of course, but so much more. Mossie is a font of Irish history and folklore. He is a local so knows the area. But he is also a world traveller and a scholar. The tour was interspersed with poems and songs as well as personal reminiscences. We strolled on beaches and clambered up a hill to an ice-age lake. It was truly a delightful day!
In closing I would noothat Mossie was also the most accommodating guide we have ever had. We started with a stop at a laundromat and ended by picking up our clothes before driving to our B&B. We parted friends and hope to see each other again.

MARVELOUS MOSSIE AND HELEN - AMAZING! My 2 friends and I spent 1 full and 2 half days with Mossie and Helen and they were a highlight of our trip to Ireland. They are both so knowledgeable, interesting, fun, adventurous, accommodating, connected (they seemed to know everyone on the Dingle Peninsula), and they deeply love their country and its rich history. We learned a great deal about Ireland's past and present. We also went off the beaten path to explore and wander and wonder. We all consider Mossie and Helen our friends now and cannot recommend them enough you want a true, Irish experience and a whale of a great time.

An Amazing Tour!! - This tour was a total highlight of our trip! From gorgeous stops to fascinating history, Mossie catered the drive to our interests and was the best guide we could hope for: funny, kind, and full of stories about the area. I’m so glad we took Mossie’s tour instead of driving Slea Head Drive ourselves. We wouldn’t have learned nearly as much - or had nearly as much fun!
I also appreciated how easy Mossie and Helen made the planning process. The company communicated quickly, and we really appreciated the flexible start time! Mossie also gave great recommendations on what to do for the rest of our stay in Dingle and even gave some tips for the Ring of Kerry and Northern Ireland. I’d recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

Wonderful experience! - What a wonderful day spent with Mossie on our tour through Dingle!
We were picked up from our BnB in Killarney and regaled with historical facts and funny anecdotes on the hour long drive to Dingle area. We visited Connors Pass and drove Slea Head Drive. We learned about the beehive huts and snuggled some baby lambs! All along the ride Mossie provided amazing commentary and answered all of our questions about the area. He catered the tour to our interests and took us to many historical ruins that we hadn't even heard of! By the end of the day we felt like we had made a new friend!
If you're looking for a comfortable ride with a knowledgeable and charming guide, please book with Mossie.

Dingle Ireland - Our guide Tony was full of history and knowledge of Ireland. He took us to beautiful beaches and museums and of course a couple of pubs. It was a ten of an experience!

A Perfect day in Dingle peninsula - Fantastic day in the magical Dingle peninsula. Helen was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about history, landscape, culture, and all things mystical in Dingle. This was my second visit here and I learned so much more about it and it enjoyed it even more with an experienced guide. She tailored the day to our interests and was patient and accommodating with my photographic impulses to stop (safely) on a dime so I could get the perfect shot!
My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our day experiencing Dingle with Helen. It was a Perfect day!
Will do it again!
Thanks Helen!

Best tour I’ve been on - My experience with Mossie’s Tours was nothing short of exceptional! Our guide, Mossie, was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. He went above and beyond to tailor the tour to our interests providing fascinating insights and anecdotes that brought the destination to life.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of iconic sights and hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. The transportation was very comfortable adding to the stress-free experience.I cannot recommend Mossie’s Tours enough.
