Very interesting tour and lovely areas to visit!! The tour guide on the Ring of Kerry was absolutely fantastic. My only wish was to have been allowed more time to spend in each area as opposed to short stops. I do highly recommend the trip and staying in B and Bs. Beauty's Home in Killarney was so welcoming!!
This was a well organised trip, with good B&B accomadation. The scenery was spectacular well worth going even if the weather is not good.
Great. The B&B was very nice. The tour guides were kind and knowledgeable.
I would definitely recommend this tour. Fantastic - over exceeded my expectations.
Each day's venue was different and exciting, the country-side was breathtaking, the guides were all excellent, knowledgeable, friendly & very helpful, and our B&B owner was great. Killarney is a nice town to visit. Be prepared for the high cost of food & beverage. Otherwise this is a fabulous trip which covers many beautiful vistas in a short period of time.
Great part of Ireland, with knowledgeable tour guides. It would be better to have a B&B right in Killarney, so we could see more of the town.
The tours were very good. The train trip from Dublin went very well. Catching the train in Galway was a bit chaotic, as there was very little time to spare between arriving at the station and the departure of the train. The bed and breakfast in Killarney was very nice with a wonderful breakfast. However, it was too far from the center of town. For people who don't mind the lengthy walk, it would be okay, but when you are traveling with people who can't walk that far, it makes for very long evenings. Three nights in Killarney is one night too many. For a first time visit to Ireland, this is an excellent way to see this part of the country if you don't rent a car.
The hosts were wonderful! Rail schedules were a bit erratic, but the hosts took it in stride and made sure we were taken care of. B&B's were great. We were allowed time to take in the local color of the sites. Wish we could have had more time in Galway.
While the scenery was spectacular, there was a lot of waiting around, the B&B was average, and on some segments of the trip, we went for extended periods while on the bus with no commentary from the tour guide. This was particularly annoying when we were passing sites of interest. We did not have reserved seats on the train on the return trip to Dublin, and the temperature in the back of the bus was hot, and the bus driver said there was nothing he could do.
The first part of this tour was wonderful! They got us out to Blarney Castle and Cove on our first day. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and kept us entertained throughout our journey. At the end of the first day we were met by the person who runs the B&B. The B&B that is included in this tour package is about 15-20 minutes walk outside of Killarney. The B&B was fine except that it doesn't have enough hot water for showers in the morning.
The reason why I give the overall tour a 2 star rating is because the tour company that does Dingle and the Ring of Kerry tours is pretty bad. On these tours the bus driver was the tour leader and he didn't really provide any good information on the areas we visited. In fact in 8 hours of touring a day we only got about 3-4 paragraphs out of this person. Also this tour driver brings his rather smelly dog along on the tour.
On the last day we were back on the rail tour. Once again the tour was very good although the schedule was very tight. The Cliffs of Moher was the highlight of the whole tour. Again the tour leader made all the difference was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend the rail tours and they do a number of one day tours on Viator. If you are stopping in Killarney overnight and will be doing tours with the other tour company, you will be disappointed.
Most of the tour was excellent. Unfortunately, some parts were poorly organized. We often had no idea where we were supposed to be or when. Very frustrating. On the whole it was a pleasant experience, but we really had to work hard in order to know what was going on due to the poor organization.
