My husband, son & I spent 10 days with Ester touring all over the Wild Atlantic Way. We went to places no tour buses could get to and down roads I wouldn't have attempted to navigate. She was always conscious of our needs and wants and made us her priority. I have some difficulty walking and Ester always asked me if I needed help, provided a walking aid, and tried to drop me off at the closest possible place to what I wanted to see. She always pointed out the best opportunities for great pictures. Her knowledge of the area and history are outstanding. I can't say enough about Ester and about Kerry Experiences. If you are looking for a real Irish experience and seeing the true Ireland, don't book a bus tour, don't try to drive it yourself, book Kerry Experience. Ester became a member of our family. I would love to visit Ireland again. If I do, I definitely will book Kerry Experiences again!
I can't say enough superlatives about our one day tour with Ester. She picked us up at our lodge in Kenmare in a very comfortable sedan and proceeded to drive us all over the Dingle. She is very knowledgeable about local sights, best times to stop, photo ops, and smaller roads that avoid the crowds. She proved engaging and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed her company thru out. It was definitely the highlight of our 11 day Ireland vacation.
Ester was absolutely phenomenal. Loads of historical facts and interesting bits about where we passed through and stopped. Very knowledgeable about Ireland and also very knowledgeable in general. An absolute treat to spend the day with. Complimentary waters and umbrellas in the vehicle were thoughtful and a great touch. Car was exceptional and world class.
We visited Cobh by cruise ship and had only one short day to tour in the area. Our day with Ester of Kerry Experience Tours was memorable and one of the highlights of our trip. She was right on time and gave us a wonderful "off the beaten track" tour of the ring of Beara. Ester was personable and accommodating to our interests. Ester recommended the Beara Ring and it was perfect for us. She did a great job budgeting our limited time and squeezing the most out of our day. We hope to return one day, perhaps with our children and grands, and do some more touring and hiking in the area! Book this company. You won't be disappointed.
My family and I were in Paris for five days and went to eight other cities in Ireland and the U.K. on our cruise and we decided that the day we visited the Ring of Kerry with Ester from Kerry Experience Tours was our favorite of the entire trip. We didn’t have a lot of time in port but wanted to see some of the Ring of Kerry. Ester knew all of the best places to go and the best things to do and see. She even suggested a picnic at one of the scenic sites and it was wonderful. She also enthusiastically participated in my hunt for any souvenir that had “Kerry” on it (my name) which made the tour even more fun. Her friendly hospitality and easy-going personality made our tour such a pleasure.
On top of giving us a great tour Esther made booking the tour very easy. She responded to all of my questions via email very quickly. She picked us up at the port right on time, the van was very comfortable, she had bottled water ready for us, and the best thing was that she kept track of the time and got us back to port in plenty of time so we didn’t have to worry about being too late to get back on the ship. The website was also very professionally done. It had ALL of the information I needed plus pictures of the types of cars/vans they use. Most of the tour sites I viewed (and I viewed a lot) didn’t give you much information or pictures so you’re not totally sure of what you are booking from the other side of the Atlantic. No unpleasant surprises from Kerry Experience Tours. They exceeded all of our expectations.
Gerrit and Ester organized a fabulous 9-day tour for our family. We provided them with a few stops we definitely wanted to make and they filled in the rest. They also booked our accommodations at a variety of hotels and B&Bs. We toured the Ring of Kerry and then up along the Wild Atlantic Way. Gerrit shared lots of information with us during our tour – including a few jokes :) We stopped at many beautiful scenic and historical sites. He was very accommodating as our 20-something sons often spent time exploring the various stops we mad along the way.
We highly recommend Kerry Experience Tours!
