Killarney Jaunty Ride & Beer - Great time! Our guide was funny and knowledgable, and Ruby, our horse, was a bundle of energy! The beer and pizza at Killarney Brewing was very good. I would recommend this tour!

Take a ride with Dan and Debbie - The experience was really nice. We had a tough time finding exactly where to go. Make sure you read the instructions in the description on where to park and wait to be picked up in front of the Great Southern Killarney Hotel. Dan was our driver and he was really nice, funny and gave a great guided tour. Debbie was the horse and she was beautiful. The ride through Killarney National Park was really nice. We also saw lots of Sika Deer. We were dropped off at Ross Castle, it was one of the best castles we saw, you could get right up to it and walk around. We went back through the park and were dropped off at The Killarney Brewery. The beer was good but the pizza was not. Its a unique experience that I would recommend. Maybe not the pizza though. Consider their other tour options.

A fantastic jaunt! - Rob and Maggie May gave us a brilliant tour of Killarney National Park peppered with historical facts and some really quite memorable jokes... We particularly enjoyed the fairly cutting banter between all the different jaunting cart drivers as the passed on the paths. The tour ended at Killarney Brewing company with a pizza (they accommodated our veganism) and a beer (I particularly like the blonde) Great trip all together!

Beautiful Park Ride, Great Food and Beer - What a wonderful surprise it was to find that we didn't have to share the cart ride with anyone that we hadn't booked with - as a couple, it was great to take the ride with just the two of us. Our tour guide was witty, informative, and entertaining during the ride. The ride takes you into the park to Ross Castle where you're able to stop and explore for about 15 minutes, and then you're taken back out of the park to the Killarney brewery. My only complaint would be that I wish the ride was longer, but I assume I'd feel that way no matter how long it actually was as I enjoyed it that much! The beer was great, a table was reserved for us so despite the business of the evening dinner time we were able to waltz right in for our beer and a delicious pizza.

Killarney - The jaunty car ride was awesome as was our driver. The pizza and beer was equally fantastic and we found it it to be a good value.

Nice ride in the Jaunting car - The Killarney Park is beautiful. Our driver had a great sense of humor even though it was somewhat difficult to understand him. He did offer to slow his speaking we just were not able to understand well. Pizza was good The beer was good. Didn't like having to walk back to the hotel.

Very good and special - We had a wonderful time with Johnny. He knows everything about the national park! It was a comfortable ride and we did not have to share the cart with other people, so it was like a private tour. Beer and pizza were great as well. Only thing was that we didn’t stop at Ross castle, maybe because our tour was late at 17:00 and the park closes at 18:00.
