Stellar Experience - Phenomenal experience. Don’t miss this. The scenery is breathtaking and the uniqueness of riding in the jaunty and open boat thru the lakes cannot be beat. Louise at Tagney Tours was stellar! So accommodating and helpful and exuded Irish hospitality and charm. This experience was by far the best day of our trip and it was a spectacular trip. So the bar was very high!

Great Way to Explore! - The Combination Killarney Jaunting Car Tour and Lakes of Killarney Cruise was an outstanding experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. The scenery throughout the tour was absolutely beautiful, the service was excellent from start to finish, and there were countless opportunities to take incredible photos along the way. The combination of the traditional jaunting car ride and the peaceful lake cruise made for a perfect way to experience the natural beauty and charm of Killarney. Everything was well organized, relaxing, and highly enjoyable.

Walk in the Park - Excellent Jaunt through the park, Michael and Ginger (horse) were full of character, enjoyed it. The boat ride was fantastic, and actually met a tour group from our hometown. Was a wonderful afternoon all around!

Delightful Afternoon - The park is so beautiful. The boat tour is lovely--and a bit of history of the lake is shared, which was great. The jaunting cart ride is better. The driver was friendly and funny--and great at spotting wildlife as we made our way through the park. If you are also using the hop on/hop off bus to navigate the park, be mindful of the last bus time. We were grateful that the jaunting cart driver was happy to drop us off in town as the bus was no longer running.

Enjoyable but wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be, - We first took the buggy ride. Michael was enjoyable to talk to. I thought we would ride by local attractions but it was just a quick ride in the park. Next, we took the boat ride. The captain was very knowledgeable and gave good information. I thought we were going to get off at the island and be able to walk around but it was just a ride to the island and back. It was enjoyable, but I probably I should’ve read the description a little more as I thought there was more to experience.

Nice guides, decent tours - Boat tour and jaunting car was a nice relaxing experiences with some learning offered to appreciate the first national park donated in part by Americans. Guides were friendly. Jaunting car tour route was just ok.

Not worth the money - Kind of underwhelming. I was expecting something more interesting and in a national park. Half the carriage ride was on a road and not really exciting.
