Fantastic and Entertaining Ride Through Killarney National Park - We had a great time on our jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park on Monday, May 6th. Vishnu drove our car pulled by Casey the horse. Vishnu was fun and funny! He gave us a list of great restaurant options for dinner and shared his extensive knowledge of Killarney and the park. We also got to talk about horses! I highly recommend taking a jaunting car tour from Killarney Jaunting Cars! If you're lucky you'll get Vishnu and Casey!

Must do in Killarney! - What an amazing 90 mins we had with James and his house Megan We were travelling with two small boys and James was super kind and caring with them and really did not mind their many questions and occasional over excitement. The jaunt around the National Park was so lovely even on a gloomy rainy day in April. The deer were a real treat to see in the wild. The stop at Ross Castle was really lovely too. Short and sweet. HIghly recommend if you are visiting Killarney. We picked the ride up from outside the Outlet Centre/Southern Hotel

Our Favorite Experience - My husband and I went with two of our daughters to Ireland and saw so many things and all agreed the jaunty car ride was our favorite. The guide was Louis and his horse Sweetie. Louis was funny and quick with stories and information we will always remember. “ABC” was used throughout our trip. We wouldn’t have made the ride at all without Laura who went above and beyond to make sure we made it. Thank you Louis! Highly recommend this company!

One of a kind company with a heart! - Let me first start by setting the scene: two older Americans driving only 2.1 miles missing turns rerouting to finally come upon an office with horses nearby. It’s raining we go in to check in only to find out we had booked with a different company! My heart sank a bit but…. They absolutely made it happen for us! The office gals let us park there at the office, arranged a driver Cal and horse Trixie to come and take us on this tour my heart was so set on. Not many establishments would do this and I was deeply touched by it. Thanks to everyone in that company who worked together to make this happen! It truly was awesome!!!
