A must see tour! - Paudie is an amazing storyteller! Is grew up in the region and has such deep knowledge and relationships within the area. Two of our team shared that "it was the best tour I have ever been a part of - from a local lunch, chocolate tasting and exploring so many wonderful natural areas"

Incredible tour and guide! - This tour was one of the highlights of our two weeks traveling throughout Ireland. Paudie was absolutely the best! He made the tour special, with his vast knowledge and engaging personality. Years ago my husband and I took a tour bus tour of Ring of Kerry and it did not come close to this tour. Our favorite was the Kerry Cliffs and Skellig ring. Thank you Paudie, it was worth every penny and more!

Gem of a man to show you the gems of the Skellig Ring and Ring of Kerry - You need a gem of a man to show you the gems of the Skellig Ring and Ring of Kerry. As with all private tours, it’s all about your guide, and Paudie made our tour wonderful in every respect. He knows all of the best spots and allows you to spend as much or as little time at each as you wish. He is everything you could ask for in a guide: kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and flexible. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed by this tour.

Quite a good catch... - Paudie is as good as they get. I have been a tour guide for over 20 years and have taken tours all over the world, and they don't come any better than Paudie's tour of the Ring of Kerry and Sceilig Ring. His family goes back many generations in the area, so Paudie doesn't just talk about the civil war, he shows you a spot where his friend's grandfather was killed during the civil war. He doesn't just teach you about Ireland's seafood, he points out a spot on the river where he used to catch salmon when he was a teenager. The tour was chalked full of humor, yet he had the power to bring tears to my eyes when he sang a verse to the song "The Boys of Barr na Sraide." I give this tour my highest recommendation.

BEST decision in Ireland!! - Paudie was the absolute BEST!!!! He is so knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with seeing the most beautiful and surreal sights in Ireland!! This was by far the best $$ spent on our trip! He navigated the very narrow roads and took us to places we would never find on our own! I can't thank you enough Paudie! You have become a new friend! See you next time! 10 star trip!! - the mcallisters

Best Way to Experience the Ring of Kerry - Paudie was incredibly knowledgeable about the area annd its history . It was truly an unforgettable experience. The scenery along the Ring of Kerry was stunning. Paudie took us to some hidden gems that we would have not found on our own or experienced on a bus tour. He also found the best spots for pictures , food and shopping . I would highly recommend booking a tour with Paudie.

The best tour of skellig, ring of keery and valencia - Stunningly beautiful country views...this tour driven by a local familiar with all the history and tales, is well worth it. Many of the roads particularly at skellig ring and valencia are extremely narrow ... having a local safely maneuver them allows all members of your party to enjoy the scenery confident that they will survive! Paudie provided great commentary, stopped at all the major sites allowing passengers to visit at their pace or modify itinery. Lunch was at a restaurant that served the best fish and chips have ever had, and he also ensured a stop at the Skellig chocolate factory which gives free tastings and sells some to take should you wish. This tour does it all...Valencia Island, skellig and ring of kerry. Strongly recommend it...it will be a highlight of your trip!
