A Wonderful Family Tour! - Mr. William was an excellent representative of Kerry Taxi Tours. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. We had the best time and plan to come back with more relatives. I would highly recommend this company and this tour.

Wonderful day in Killarney! - Billy was our tour guide and he knocked it out of the park! We didn't have cooperating weather in the morning and he adjusted the tour to ensure we had a great experience regardless. We still saw the sites listed which we appreciated! He also came prepared with extra water, large umbrellas, binoculars, and great knowledge! He also stopped at multiple sites to get breathtaking sites along the way we wouldn't have seen without his expertise. He even noticed a sheep dog demonstration happening close by and he stopped so we could see it which was fantastic! He really put thought and effort in this tour so we could have a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!!

intimate, guided tour - this tour was for my in-laws. the tour operator Bill was amazing, there was a last minute change to the pick up site that he was able to accommodate as well as providing valuable insight to the locations listed. My in laws absolutely loved this tour and rated it as their top experience in the southern part of Ireland and Killarney.

The very best family tour experience. - Mr. William was an excellent representative of Kerry Taxi Tours. We had the most wonderful time seeing all of the sights and learning from his extensive knowledge about the area. We were able to learn more and experience more than we would have if we explored on our own or were on a bus tour. It was a comfortable, clean, and extremely relaxing ride. The private taxi was the most enriching and enjoyable experience we could have possibly had. I feel we have been able to truly see the Killarney area, learn some of its history, and carry those memories together for a long time. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful tour we had with Mr. William. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, don't hesitate to click and book this one, or any tour with Kerry Taxi Tours! With gratitude, The Edwards Family

Incredible!! - This was hands down my favorite tour while traveling through Ireland. Our guide William was amazing- funny, informative, a good driver, and accommodating. On top of that every stop was breathtaking. Can’t recommend this tour (and William!) enough.

Loved every minute of our tour! - I'm so glad that we did a tour rather than trying to navigate the roads ourselves. Brian was a fantastic tour guide and filled us in on so much great history that we would not have known otherwise. Some of the roads are pretty narrow and windy as well, so having someone else drive meant that we could all enjoy the scenery.

Private tour with the best guide/driver for us over all others in Ireland - Bill Fleming out driver was the most delightful man we could ever have spent seven hours with. He is full of Irish witticisms His knowledge of Killarney is massive and he took us to points/vistas that the major tours didn't go to (The views from Lady's View alone was worth the whole tour) I was initially hesitant at the cost of a private tour But I would strongly recommend the value to anyone !!!!

Complaint - We were never picked up waited more than 1 hour and was told the tour was overbooked we called a Taxi and made our own day calling a taxi to go to each destination. The service rep I spoke with was very rude and had no concern of our situation.
