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.

Gillian was such a knowledgeable guide and warm person. She made sure to take us where we wanted to go instead of taking us to all of the standard stops. We were staying in Dingle and did the Ring of Kerry tour with her (in addition to a tour of Slea Head). It was a long-ish drive to the Ring of Kerry, but she filled the time with stories and the history of Ireland. She's very knowledgeable about Ireland's interesting, and sometimes heartbreaking history. And she told the stories in ways that really brought the people to life. I can't imagine navigating those roads and trying to figure out where to stop on the Ring of Kerry on our own. She made it so enjoyable. Gillian was a wonderful tour guide. If you're reading this Gillian, "hello from Cincinnati" from John and Debbie!!

Fantastic guide! Gillian was extraordinary! We happened to catch Gillian on a day when she had that afternoon free and are we soooo glad we did. Even though my wife and I were doing a driving tour, we realized that the driver can’t fully appreciate the views and sites (as an American, driving the narrow, rural roads on the left side of the road is not for the faint of heart!), and the navigator carries a heavy burden in determining the best route, what to see, when to turn and so on. She picked us up at our B&B and we travelled in style – a Mercedes hybrid touring car. We made dozens of stops and went places that would have easily been overlooked. Our afternoon with Gillian was easily the highlight of our long-awaited trip to Ireland!
We would not hesitate to hire Gillian again: she was personable, funny, intelligent, knowledgeable, easy-going, patient… (I could go on and on with the adjectives, but my wife said just say "She was lovely!"). She knew the history and geology of the area and shared insights you won’t find in any guide books. Honestly, we could not imagine a more enjoyable experience than our tour with Gillian!

I cannot say enough positive things about Gillian, THE Dingle Guide! My adult daughter and I shared three days with her - we took both th e Kilarney Tour and the Shea Head Drive tour, and Gillian provided transport for us from Dingle to the Dublin Airport. Gillian is very knowledgeable about the Dingle Peninsula, both in terms of its history and what goes on there currently. She took our interests into account in adapting each day's stops. She was so accommodating and kind, and lovely company! She is a gem and I highly recommend her tours.

Our Slea Head tour with Helen was one of the highlights of my family's two week vacation to Ireland. She is warm and welcoming, but also has an encyclopedic knowledge of both Dingle and Ireland generally. We made numerous stops for photos, but also a stop where my wife and daughter got to hold two week old lambs, a visit to the 12th Cent. St. Brendan's church, the Oratory, and a number of other places. Helen was also very accommodating. When we told her that a dear friend (who died a few years ago) was from Dingle she got on the phone with her partner and pinpointed the exact house where our friend grew up and we stoped to see it. It was a special moment and we deeply appreciate Helen making it happen. She is a wonderful guide and a wonderful person.

Just finished 5 brilliant days with Gillian.
Gillian made sure we will use the day light to its fullest :), and see as many places and attractions as humanly possible, each day.
She adjusted the trip according to my likes and requests.
Each and every question was answered in full - so much knowledge of the history people and places we saw.
We had great fun talking and laughing during the long days especially since Gillian mad sure I was comfortable.
I had an amazing time and was hard to say goodbye.

Gillian was wonderful! If you are looking for learn about the sites and history around Dingle, Gillian is as good as it gets. We covered a lot of ground, but there was plenty of time for different stops.

This tour was the highlight of our brief stay in Dingle!
Gillian picked us up at our B&B in a lovely Mercedes sedan and off we went.
There were plenty of opportunities to take photos of the beautiful Dingle peninsula and stops at places of interest such as Glarus Oratory and the beehive huts.
We also had the opportunity to hold baby lambs!
I would highly recommend this tour of the Dingle Peninsula and many thanks to Gillian for a lovely experience!

Really happy we booked the tour, Gillian our guide was very knowledgeable and we'll informed. Spending time with her was very pleasant as she is very friendly and chatty.
The car was clean and comfortable and the tour was great value for money as you see many sites and get a good amount of time to explore and take pictures of the stunning scenery.
If you're a Star Wars fan the tour is a must to see the sites where it was filmed too!

Though we have driven Slea Head Drive ourselves before, we decided that for both of us to enjoy it, we would go on a private tour. Colm picked us up at our Dingle B&B. He was very informative as well entertaining. He customized the tour since we had already seen some of the sights offered. Stops included Dunquin Pier, Ventry Beach and Kilmalkedar Church, but the highlight was feeding the baby lambs. We saw and learned more than we would have on our own. We highly recommend this tour!

Gillian was a fantastic tour guide and made our trip to Dingle well worth it. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and had some great stories about the area, the people and the landscapes. We never would have learned so much about the sights along the Slea Head Drive, or about Dingle itself, without Gillian's insight. We also had plenty of laughs along the way!
The benefits of having a tour guide drive you along the coast cannot be overstated, otherwise you'll be white-knuckle driving and unable to appreciate the landscape and unbeatable views.
Be sure to book a tour with Gillian - you won't regret it!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a total pleasure bringing you on the tour, and I thoroughly enjoyed your company. When you next return to Ireland, I hope to see you again in Dingle. Take care! Gillian
