    Beautiful day!
    We had a great day with Mary G! She told us lots of information about the area and led us to beautiful views of the area. She is a lovely guide full of life and information. If you are traveling in this area, a tour with Mary G is a must!

    My only Guide is Mary G
    We had the pleasure of doing back to back tours on Fri and Sat with Mary G and she was the highlight of our time in Killarney. She was knowledgeable and personable and very fun. We talked a lot about Ireland and the tour but enjoyed our chatting about other things as well. My next time to Ireland I will ensure we meet up again. The only guide I will ever use is Mary G

    Amazing Tour w/ a Brilliant Guide
    Mary was outstanding! She was so knowledgeable, personable, and open to flexing to do anything we wanted to do. We did not have the best weather which did not prevent her from providing us an amazing experience. I will be telling everyone coming to Ireland that she will have to be their guide.

    Best port tour ever with Mary G--Beara to Killarney and back
    We loved every second of our tour with Mary G. We are a family of 3 and Mary picked us up at Bantry in her lovely auto and we toured the beautiful Gouggane Barra to Killarney--wonderful sights and driven carefully and expertly. Amazing views including mountains, waterfalls, beaches and cliffs. She knew it all and shared it with enthusiam, knowledge and love for Ireland. We then toured her hometown and castle gardens in Killarney where we had a lovely lunch. Mary then took us back to the Bantry Port via the Healy Pass which allowed us different scenery than the route in the morning. She is a superior tour guide, light hearted and told us wonderful stories while sharing history. We recommend her highly for any tour she gives in Ireland. What a special person she is!

    You can't go wrong with Mary!
    We actually had 4 days of private tours with Mary: 1) Ring of Kerry, 2) Beara Peninsula, 3) Dingle Peninsula, 4) Killarney National Park, Muckross, Ross Castle, Torc Waterfall, Killarney House and museum, town of Killarney, Gap of Dunloe. We saw so much more in these 4 days than we ever could have any other way. There's no way we could have driven those roads ourselves, plus Mary knew all of the best places to stop for views, photo ops, food, and most importantly-clean bathrooms! :) Having Mary as your guide is like having a close friend or family member show you the best their area has to offer, but without any of the family drama. She was prompt, friendly, and very accommodating. I recommend Mary to anyone who wants to get a more local, in-depth view and understanding of this spectacular part of Ireland. My only wish is that she had provided us with a list of all the stops so I could remember the names better. We saw so much!

    Family Dingle Tour
    Our tour was great. Wendy our guide was very nice and added a great deal of information we would have otherwise missed. Dingle is beautiful. Our guide also allowed us time to explore the locations ourselves while added useful tips and insights. Highly recommend.

    One of a kind
    Mary was extremely knowledgeable and it felt like she had an answer for every question we asked. We definitely went to stops that you wouldn't reach by a tour bus and had a one of a kind experience. We enjoyed the tours and all the stops we made. We were anxious about driving ourselves so it was nice to have someone take that burden for us. However it felt like we were in a rush ALL the time- that might just have been my perspective though. I think the driving is just different here, faster paced.

    Most memorable day of our trip
    Our day with Mary was one of the best days we spent in Ireland. She is knowledgable, very experienced and so friendly. One of the things I really appreciated was that with Mary we got to see places we would have missed in a bigger tour or driving ourselves. For instance she bypassed a very crowded beach with numerous tour buses and took us a bit further down the road to a lovely beach where we were there was nobody else in sight. She also took us to lovely old church that I hadn't seen on any other itineraries. Even though she took us to less crowded places doesn't mean that we missed out on anything we wanted to see. She asked about our interests right away and made sure that we got a tour that was tailored to us, but she made sure we got to see the tourist spots too. Some of the best pictures we took on the trip were based on her suggestions. She also took pictures of my husband and I together. Mary was an exceptional driver and her car was in excellent condition. I felt perfectly secure with her at the wheel. She arrived at the hotel on time and got us back on time too. It's not an inexpensive day, but absolutely worth it. The roads twist and turn, they are narrow, steep, and often wet. In places it is one way only and cars need to back quite a distance to let others pass. With Mary you can sit back, relax and enjoy the absolutely stunning scenery..

    Mary's tour of Killarney and Killarney National Park is something everyone should do.
    Mary took me and a friend on an absolutely amazing tour of Killarney and the Killarney National Park. She is engaging, humorous, energetic, extremely interested in her work, and knowledgeable about Killarney and Killarney National Park. Furthermore, she was happy to answer our questions; for example, she answered our questions about how health insurance works in Ireland. The tour through the mountains and valley in the national park was amazing. Also, while we toured the Park, it started snowing, which apparently is quite unusual in Ireland. One of the highlights was exploring a ruined abbey with her. She never rushed us. She is a well traveled and educated person, for example, she lived in France for 12 years and recently earned a degree in genealogy. For her thesis, she documented the life of an Irishwoman had not received the recognition that she should have. She arrived on time at our hotel, the International Hotel Killarney, and has a comfortable car, i.e., a Mercedes.

    Off the beaten path
    The views were amazing! Mary took us off the beaten path that busses could never journey. Mary is well versed in the history of Ireland. She was very accommodating. I asked for her card as my husband and I will be here in Killarney for a wedding 2024. I would want my friends to know what a great experience we had.

    Great guide, saw a lot
    Mary was an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge of the area and history. She has been in the tour business for a very long time. She was able to fit in a lot in this 3 hour tour that may not have been possible if we had gone during peak season. Very comfortable ride for me and my 18 yo daughter. Beautiful inner Ring of Kerry tour even though it was cold and rainy. Would highly recommend Mary.

    Fantastic day spent in Dingle
    Mary G showed us the absolute best day in Dingle! She was so knowledgeable about the area and took us to the most gorgeous places. Then she was so patient with us while we took hundreds of photos because each place was more beautiful than the next. We thoroughly enjoyed our day! She is a very safe driver and a lovely lady too.

Mary was the perfect person to drive us around the ring of Kerry, she was knowledgeable, witty and gave the right amount of commentary. We saw many things not everyone sees, especially if you’re on a bus. It was so pleasant to sit back and take it all in, Mary stopped whenever we asked and pulled over for photo ops, never rushed us or made us feel touristy! My favorite stopping point for food was lunch at the Waterville Golf club!! Amazing! My husband really enjoyed watching the golfers while we had lunch. Even though we have a rental car here, being driven by Mary was the best decision yet!!!

We very much enjoyed our tour with Mary. She was on time and picked us up at our B&B in Kenmare, where we started the tour. She gave us plenty of opportunities to stop and take photographs. She never rushed us whenever we stopped. She even took some photographs of us together. She was very knowledgeable about the area and told us a lot of information about where we were and the history behind it. We also got to go to places where the larger or smaller tour buses would not be able to go, especially on Valentia Island. She was lovely to talk to and we had some very lively conversations over a lot of topics. We would highly recommend this tour with Mary.

There is just something about Mary! My wife and I had a fantastic time touring the countryside around the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula with Mary as our guide. Out trip was a fast few days without the kids and Mary helped us make the most of it, showing us a large portion of the Wild Atlantic Way and dropping us off in Doolin for a sunset hike of the Cliffs of Moher. Her knowledge of the area, history, and things to see made for two fantastic and gorgeous outings. We hope to see you again one day with the whole family! Aloha from Hawaii Mary!! Josh and Meme

Aloha! Thank you both so much for the lovely review of your tours with me. I was thinking and wondering about how you got on after I dropped you at the cliffs that day. You obviously survived to tell the tale anyway….lol! I hope you have great memories of your trip to Ireland. Thanks again, Mary

Just come back from an Easter weekend in Ireland where we had booked Mary as our guide for our trip around The Ring of Kerry.

She was lovely from start to finish and even went out of her way to find the house my Dad lived in for a while many years ago. It was so remote I didn't think we would find it but sure enough we did.

Her knowledge was second to none and she made the trip so interesting even if I cannot remember all of the facts now !! Special thanks to Donal our driver as well. They both made us all feel very welcome and would 100% recommend to others.

It was a really memorable and picturesque tour. We were lucky enough to get sunny weather and Mary was above praise. She took us to the most unique and beautiful places of Ring of Kerry, that you never visit on regular bus tour. While being the excellent and professional guide she was able not only to tell us history of this place, but share a private view of the native on these events, some of them she was a direct witness.
If you want to see most beautiful views of Ireland in comfortable conditions, you definitely have to take this tour.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a tour of the Ring of Kerry and the National Park, as well as Valentia Island and the Scelig ring. Mary was extremely knowledgeable, as she provided us the history of these lands as we toured the fantastic scenery. Mary showed us some of the most magnificent scenery we have ever seen. She even took photos of us at scenic locations.

She drove a comfortable Mercedes, that provided more than enough room for the two of us. Mary is also a genealogist, and was able to provide some research for my family heritage. She also provided a few recommendations, such as staying at Ballyseede Castle the night before our tour.

Simply put this was the best tour I have ever been on. I have been on many tours but no one comes close to Mary. She was a delight right from the beginning. Mary takes you on an adventure that you will never forget. She is funny and very informative and always keeps your interest. Her knowledge of the area is incredible and her stories of the history of Killarney were my favorite part. Mary, we will never forget your tour and when I am back in Ireland I will take your tour again.

We booked a full day with Mary touring the Ring of Kerry and Killarney National Park. She promptly picked us up in a very nice car from our Killarney hotel. The tour was very customized based on what we wanted to see. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and made the tour extremely interesting. She knew all the photogenic places for pictures and made plenty of stops. She got us off the tourist bus roads and went to places that only a car could get to. Mary’s trip was one of the highlights of our 3-week Ireland tour. Thanks Mary.
