My group was a group of 4 and we absolutely loved the Ring of Kerry Tour. There were many options I researched for the tours on the Ring of Kerry and I am so glad we went with this one. The decision to pay more for a private guide was well worth every penny. Some of the roads are narrow with a sharp cliff. I would have been a nervous wreck on a large tour bus. The private tour also allowed for more conversation back and forth when we had questions. Not having to drag 20+ people on and off a bus meant we were also able to more quickly see the sights, eat, lunch, and take pics. This helped us make the most of the day and see much more than the larger group tours offered. It also allowed us to be picked up at our AirBnb which was quite helpful as we were about 17 minutes outside the city center.
When planning our trip to Kerry, I was worried we weren’t staying long enough or that we should be spending more time on the Ring of Kerry. This was perfect to fit a lot in just one day when you are limited by a schedule. We never felt rushed or that we missed anything. We hit all the highlights and had some amazing opportunities for photos and interaction with our surroundings. Kris was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining.
My only recommendation would be, if going in fall/winter, starting at 9 am. We booked to start at 10 and the last hour the sun was going down so the final stop (torque waterfall) was dark and we missed the muckross. Truly an amazing day and worth every penny and more. Highly, highly, highly recommend.
