    Great Ring of Beara Guide
    Peter met my wife and I at our Kenmare hotel and he was very accommodating to make sure we made sufficient stops for scenic viewing and pictures. Peter also repeatedly said that we could make any stop along the route. He is knowledgeable about the area and can cover history in as much depth as desired. He made sure to take the time to drive carefully since much of the road is very narrow. The sites of the coastline are fantastic with very little traffic compared to other Ring tours. If you’re looking for little crowds and fantastic camera opportunities, this is your tour!

    Private tour with Peter Stanley
    My husband and I toured the Ring of Kerry with Peter Stanley. He is an amazing guide! He is very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to see so many wonderful sights and understand their significance. Peter picked us up at our hotel in Kenmare and we circled the ring in an opposite direction then the many tour buses that do this tour out of Kerry. We were also able to see parts of the ring where the big buses can’t go. Peter gave us several choices to stop for lunch and the one we chose was spot on. The food was delicious. I am certain the other options would have been great too. Don’t hesitate to book this tour with Peter Stanley. It has been the highlight of our trip.

    Great tour, so much better than driving yourself because you can look around more instead of focusing on the road, plus you have expert commentary.

    Ring of Kerry tour
    The Ring of Kerry tour was amazing! Beautiful views! Peter was a fantastic guide and made the experience for us perfect! Peter provided details about each stop and lots of interesting information along the way. This is an experience we could have never done on our own without a guide. I would highly recommend this tour and Peter as your guide!!

    Explore the rugged beauty of the Beara Peninsula with a great tour guide
    Peter took two of us on a tour of the Beara Peninsula. The full day tour was excellent. He is passionate and knowledgeable not only about the Beara Peninsula but Ireland. He is sociable and explained all of the locations we visited. We lucked out because the day we took the tour, the weather was sunny. The peninsula’s rugged beauty is amazing. On the road trip, Peter drove along the coast, took back roads, and showed us small villages on the coast. He pointed out the Skellig Islands where some of the Stars Wars movies were filmed. Along the way, he gave us plenty of time on our own. For example, we had time to explore the Kenmare village shops and stone circle, the fishing town of Castletownbere, ruined abbeys and cemeteries, take photos of the mountains, valleys, ocean, and innumerable sheep. One of the tour’s highlights was our visit to the Uragh Stone Circle, one of Ireland’s most famous Neolithic stone circles. Peter suggested two restaurants, one in Kenmare (Maison Gourmet where the owner serves delicious and fresh French pastries) and one in Castletownbere (Lynch’s which serves burgers and other casual foods). We bought sheet music and a tin whistle at Soundz of Muzic store, which stocks instruments, Irish sheet, music, and more. He arrived on time at our hotel, namely, the International Hotel Killarney. After the tour, we felt well acquainted the Beara Peninsula and left with memories of a lifetime.

    Fantastic day!
    Piotr J. (Peter) took us around the Ring of Kerry and was very accommodating. His knowledge of Ireland was outstanding ! He made sure to take us places that were unique and not touristy. We had the best day seeing Skellig Michael with perfect views and all the little towns on the ring. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!!

    Personalized Experience with Knowledgable and Friendly Guide
    This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me and my friends during our stay in Killarney. Our guide, Peter, was nothing but incredibly kind, flexible, and full of knowledge on the history of Ireland and the Dingle Peninsula. We stopped at numerous spots including Inch Beach, Slea Head, DingleCrystal, and, per our request, a sheep farm (we got to hold lambs!). Being able to drive the perimeter of the entire peninsula was beautiful. Peter gave us an excellent experience of all and truly made us appreciate the rich history behind it. I would highly highly recommend booking a tour with Peter as your guide—we loved this tour so much and we loved Peter! Without a doubt the highlight of our week in Ireland.

    Private Tour to Dingle
    Peter was fantastic! Communicated with me the day before the tour to set up pick up. Showed up early and so friendly. We really didn’t know everything we wanted to see- he asked great questions to help us plan out our day that worked for us. Took us to all the best places, took pictures for us. Was so friendly and willing to do whatever to ensure we had an amazing day! I would whole heartedly recommend anyone booking with Peter- I am so thankful I found him!

    Great tour!
    We spent a truly enjoyable day with Richard Moxley touring the Ring of Kerry. We were lucky enough to have lovely weather in the morning and mysterious fog, mist and drizzle in the afternoon. The views were great even when the weather turned, and the tour was truly a special treat. Richard is so knowledgable and interesting to talk with and learn from. A great day all around.

    Our driver arrived on time and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. We couldn’t be more pleased . We left something in the vehicle and he was so kind to bring it to us at the train station next morning. Thank you so much, Peter, for going out of your way!

    Tour made memorable by phenomenal guide, Ted Kennedy!
    Ted Kennedy, my personal tour guide for the Ring of Kerry all-day tour, created a life-long memory that I will treasure forever. Ted is a local who has been doing the tour for over 30 years. He tailored the tour to ensure my personal interests - ruins, castles and cliffs - were prioritized and I had as much time as I wanted to explore and experience them. The Kerry Cliffs are even more spectacular than the more famous (for now) Cliffs of Moher! In addition to knowing all the historical background for the entire area, Ted seemed to know everyone who lived and/or was present along the tour route, whether along a remote road, at a stop or in a restaurant along the way! Knowing I was seeking information on my ancestors, he offered advice on where to find official records, based on my family name, and then even introduced me to a local woman who may be related to my great-great grandmother. Ted broke up the drive with opportunities to get out and walk and climb through gorgeous scenic locations, many off the main Ring of Kerry road. I have pictures that are breathtaking and will always think of Ted when I look at them! Thank you, Ted, you are a perfect representative for Ireland and its people🍀!

We had our private tour with Peter yesterday and it was the highlight of our trip! He was very knowledgeable and brought us to the best sights of the Ring of Kerry. We had ample time to explore all of the places we wanted to see and Peter also offered great suggestions on where to buy gifts and good places to grab lunch. Highly recommended!!

Our guide Tony, was the nicest / most knowledgeable person and more importantly friend and very funny! It was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. The Ring of Kerry is out of this world and breathtaking. This tour was absolutely perfect for us. We covered so many areas over the day and went to places that the buses couldn't get to. Tony didn't rush us at all and we spent time in many places. Our favorite stops were:
Port Magee at the Kerry Cliffs - absolutely breathtaking
A visit to a Bog Village to learn more about the great Irish famine.
Ross Point - beautiful beach!
Valencia Harbour and visiting the forts and Torc Waterfall.
To be honest the whole tour was just amazing and made even better by a wonderful tour guide who picked us up from our accommodation.
We couldn't have had a better tour!
Thank you Tony and Peter for making our trip to Ireland so special.

What a wonderful day! Peter, our driver, was knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. My husband and I waited 36 years to do this trip, and it checked every box. Every aspect of this trip was perfect, from the booking, to communication before the trip, to the actual trip. I would write a second review just to give it 10 stars! Thank you for such a special day!!

There were 2 of us on this tour. Myself and my 19 yo daughter. We spent a full 8 hours driving the ring and got lots of great info from our guide. Ride was comfortable and professional and he had water for us too. He offered to tailor it to anything we wanted but we just asked him to hit the key stops. Enjoyable day. Would recommend this tour service and route.

Our tour of the Ring of Kerry was the absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland. Peter is the best tour guide and just such a wonderful person! It’s hard to put into words how perfect this tour was. We learned so much, saw the most gorgeous places, and had such an incredible day. This tour is worth every penny and more. I can’t recommend Peter and this tour enough, book this asap, you’ll be so grateful that you did!

I just recommended this tour to … I dunno, the 405 person who cares in my life and realized I had deprived the whole internet of my glowing recommendation. Peter was absolutely impeccable. Kerry cliffs is a cannot miss. We weren’t finicky about the rest, but when it came time for lunch …. Port McGee (which sounds like what you’d name a seaside town in Ireland if you were making it up, but it’s real) provided the absolute BEST seafood we had on our trip. Incredible experience and guide and all the things. Do it.

Piotr was fantastic! He had all kinds of good stories, knew all the good places to stop and took us to less busy places (avoiding the big tour buses). Couldn’t have asked for a better day! He was even able to make other recommendations for while we were in the area. 11/10!

4 of us hired Peter Stanley to drive and direct us through the Ring of Kerry. Our reasoning was so that all 4 of us could enjoy the spectacular vistas rather than one of us white knuckling the drive. Peter was incredibly knowledgeable about not just the area but history, flora and fauna, cultural references and made sure we enjoyed the day. How could you not have fun after being driven around in a green 6 door Mercedes... the “Green Hornet”!!!
