Trip of a lifetime - Comfortable ride. Billy was a great tour guide. He took us to the parts that the typical buses couldn’t travel on. Valencia island and port McGee were our favorites!

Favorite part of our entire trip! - My fiancé and I did the private tour from our hotel in Killarney through the Ring of Kerry with Derrick as our guide. The experience was our absolute favorite part of our entire trip to Ireland! Derrick was phenomenal—very knowledgeable and an overall great and enjoyable person to be around. He had the best recommendations and took so many great photos for us! Let us know whenever you make your way over to the US, Derrick :)

Wonderful family tour - Billy was a fun, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. He spent time with us adults and the kids and he was passionate about Ireland history. Our tour took a bit longer than it should and he was very kind and patient. I would take another 9 hour tour with him again. There was something for everyone in the tour. from the chocolate factory, nice lunch and lots of stunning view.
