Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Totally worth it to have some one else drive so you can enjoy the view. and learn the history and interesting factoids. I booked with Deros Tour and it was so well run. Our driver and tour guide Tony couldn't be funnier or a better driver!

Batt was an amazing tour guide. Sights were wonderful. The only downfall was the restaurant we stopped at was horrible. Food was so lousy, like hospital food! I would have given 5 stars if the restaurant was halfway decent.

My sister and I were trying to decide whether to take a day trip from Killarney to the ring of Kerry or to Dingle. We decided on Dingle because the town is very beloved by so many, and the journey there offers a similar experience to the Ring of Kerry.
Ray was our tour guide, he drove us with skill and safety. Ray made sure we had ample photo stops along the way, as well as bathroom breaks and recommendations of where to eat/drink when in Dingle. We absolutely enjoyed his humor as well as his extensive knowledge of Irish history and the local areas.
It was really great to do this tour off-season because there was not a mob scene in Killarney nor Dingle, and the vehicle we traveled in was not an obnoxious giant tour bus, but a large van. We 100% lucked out with weather, but keep in mind that weather in Ireland is quite moody and changes often, so do not be discouraged by a forecast of rain. Dingle was adorable and we really enjoyed our meals and walking around the town.
We even saw 3 rainbows and dolphins. Seriously this tour was amazing, Ray did a fabulous job and it was a wonderful day!

I was not planning on doing a coach tour. In fact, I was pretty set against it. However, we met two families in Killarney that told us that we must take a coach tour to the Dingle Peninsula. My husband, who had some white-knuckled driving in the previous few days, was eager to let someone else take the wheel. We are so glad that we decided to do this trip. Our driver, Ray, deftly negotiated the narrow and windy roads (far more treacherous than the Ring of Kerry road I think). He stopped frequently to give us the chance to take photos and explore a bit. He also gave us quite a lot of local information about the landscape and the residents. We stopped at Inch Beach and Slea Head to admire the views. We also had about 75 minutes to spend in Dingle (wish we had bit longer...that is my one critique), which was a great spot for a late lunch. On the way back, we drove through Tralee, and Ray even sang to us.

Excellent tour, with plenty of stops to enjoy the views, take pictures or simply hear the story of the place. Only one person besides me and my husband, so it felt like a private tour. The guide, Ray, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, no questions bothered him, took us to a special place for lunch, and gave us extra time as needed. Excellent and highly recommendable!

I had an absolutely lovely experience on this tour. The driver, Ray, was an excellent guide and taught the group so much about this amazing part of Ireland. He was kind, helpful, and did a great job of keeping the tour interesting and fun. The views around the Dingle peninsula are stunning and there are many opportunities to stop and take photos on the tour. Ray even offered to take one of me with the gorgeous views in the background! I would definitely recommend this tour and this group!

This day tour of the Dingle Peninsula with the guide/driver called Ray was just terrific. He has a wealth of knowledge of the area which he delivered with a charming and quiet dry wit. He was informative, kind and polite. Unlike the area's competitor ( green bus) there was no attempt to push people to go to a certain restaurant or shop, etc. To make the whole experience great from the start, the company even picked me up from the Railway Hostel, where I was staying. They also dropped people off at hotels that weren't right in the town centre at the end of the day. I highly recommend this tour and Ray as your driver.
