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.

Excellent driver. Great tour. Easy to book. Easy to find.
We are so glad we had Mike as our driver we paid €8 more each for a front row seat. I think it was worth it.
So you know. The historical bog was an extra €6 each. The border collie and sheep demonstration was worth every cent but another €6 each. Lunch was around €20 each and it was ok. Lamb based Irish Stew.
We did not look at other tours. Some are more expensive but include the extras. Mike was nice, prompt, gave clear directions as to time allowed at each stop and a Fantastic driver

I LOVED this tour. Batt was our driver/guide and he was wonderful. He was so engaging, funny and interesting and even sang beautifully for us. I was more than happy to not have to drive this route myself, given its windy and narrow roads, and the scenery was fantastic. I’m not sure if we just got an off-season rate, but we only paid 40 euro…not the 60 this site says. Side note: their website gives you an option to pay a few euro extra to get “priority seating” at the front of the bus and I was so glad we did. I get carsick easily, so it was helpful for that reason, but it also made it easier to get off the bus quickly and get photos before others got in the shot.
Highly recommend!

We booked the tour so that my husband and I could enjoy the Ring of Kerry without the worry of driving. It was well worth it. We enjoyed our driver Michael who kept everyone on track of time and was super informative. 100% do Kells Sheep Dog Display. It was amazing and worth the 6 Euros to watch. We stopped at The Red Fox Inn and I highly recommend getting a Baileys coffee; it was the best we have ever had. The bus stops at many lookout spots and there was plenty of stops to stretch and use the restrooms. We really enjoyed the tour. Tip: sit on the right side of the bus, best views of everything and if the front seats are available when you check in at the office, pay the 8 euros extra, well worth it!

I don't relish giving average reviews of independent tour companies, but honestly, this was one of our least favorite days we spent touring. First of all, it was a rainy day, therefore there was little to see - so if you only have a short time in Ireland and it's rainy, I'd say skip it. Because that's no fault of the tour company, I gave the tour 3 stars, but for us it was more like a 1 star event. Second, we arrived 30 min early to get a front row seat only to find out they sell them online months in advance- I could have slept in (something to know before you go). Our driver Michael was a super nice guy and an excellent driver. I felt safe the entire time, but while he did his job well- which was driving the bus and keeping us safe, I don't feel like it's fair of the tour company to have the bus driver also be the tour guide. First, he's driving a huge coach bus with 40+ lives on windy rainy roads. While he did give some nice tid bits of information, he has quite a charming thick Irish accent, so most of us around us, couldn't understand him or hear him well. Not his fault, but had Deros hired an actual entertaining funny tour guide who could stand at the front and speak for a greater portion of the 6 hour tour (like most big coach tour buses do) it would have been much more entertaining on a rainy day. I would have happily paid an extra $10 to have that fun/entertaining tour guide, while feeling safe that Michael was focusing completely on the road keeping us safe. We made several stops at tourist traps which were fine, but it felt like a cattle herd in and out of the coffee shop and restaurant because several other coach buses were there as well. I did really enjoy the sheep dog demonstration, my favorite part of the 6 hours. I don't think it's a bad tour if that's what you are looking for, I just wouldn't do it again because the Ring of Kerry while nice, isn't breathtaking compared to other parts of Ireland to drive through. I also think it's important to know to bring cash, as some of the places (most importantly the sheep dog demonstration don't take cc). There was a beautiful waterfall at the end, but we had 15 min and it took 5 min to walk up and 5 min to walk back. The picturesque stops were more quick photo ops.

Expensive considering nothing is included. Most stops are completely unrelated to the Ring of Kerry - a gift shop, lunch in a total tourist trap, and a (very cool) sheepdog demonstration. Guide was totally uninterested and basically a paid passenger who would give a one-sentence comment about the places we passed every 10-15 minutes. Driver did an excellent job on the narrow winding roads.

NO COVID PRECAUTIONS
I booked this tour based on the fact that face masks were required in public areas and low number of passengers taken per trip. (I was also charged some sort of covid up charge due to passenger volume.) More than half of the passengers on our 6 hour tour were not wearing face masks including the driver. The driver also did not let passengers know that face masks were required. There was very little ventilation on the bus.
If you are not concerned with covid, and many people aren’t, I would recommend the tour as it was very informative and covered a lot of ground.
If you are concerned about covid, I would recommend looking at other companies.

Our driver Batt was great, loads of local personal knowledge, made it such an enjoyable tour. Two 6 euro entrance fee stops were both very worthwhile, one only accepted cash. Small friendly group of fellow visitors, one couple got engaged at a particularly scenic spot

Our bus driver, Michael, was very informative and we were impressed with his driving skill. Some of these Irish roads are very narrow. Our favorite part of the trip was the visit to the sheep farm. Brenden really put on a great presentation and this was well worth the price of admission! I would recommend this to anyone!

Very nice ride around the ring of Kerry. A good amount of stops with plenty of time. Felt safe in the bus. Best part was the sheepdog demonstration for a small additional fee.

We had an exceptional experience on our private tour of the Ring of Kerry. Peter was an outstanding tour guide. He was professional, courteous, on time and even early for our pick up right at our hotel. While his route was mapped out, he was very flexible with any additional things we wanted to see or stop to visit. He was extremely knowledgeable on the history and the local areas we visited. If you are planning a trip to Ireland, and want to avoid buses in crowds, I would highly recommend looking up Peter for his private guided tour. It was an exceptional experience that we will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you Peter!

Not sure. Didn’t feel there was a need as we could see everything and got off the bus to view the key spots.

Does the tour travel in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction. Just curious as to what side of the bus would be best to sit on.

Our bus travelled counter clockwise. We paid a few extra $$ to get the first seat on the left hand side and we could see right out the front windshield. Soooo worth it
