Incredible tour!! The tour guide was very knowledgable and pointed out all the top spots, recommended sights to see during the many stops for photo opportunities, and answered any and all questions. Our group ran into a scheduling conflict and the entire staff was unbelievably helpful and worked with us so that we were able to go on this tour. I highly recommend this tour, had an amazing time!!

Amazing tour of the Ring of Kerry. Knowledgeable guide. Frequent photo stops and viewing opportunities. A must-do tour when in Ireland.

Review by: Ronald B	October 2011
The weather just did not cooperate. The fog was so thick and extensive that we could barely see anything. It was not the tour's fault; rather, it was just our bad luck!

Very nice day out. Excellent value for money.

Review by: Karolanne L	September 2011
It was AMAZING !!! the only thing I didn't like was the little break we had 25 minutes after we left. That was useless and I would have prefer to see more mountains... but when we did see all those beautiful views... WOW !!! Definetily worth it.

Excellent day trip our of Killarney. I would highly recommend it. Nice clean bus and fine descriptions.

Review by: Laure G	September 2011
An excellent overview of the Ring of Kerry and agreeable way to prepare for a more leisurely and personal discovery on your next trip. Bring your own sandwich, if you want to avoid the tourist trap at lunch time.

Wonderful trip. Our bus driver was polite, funny and very informative.

Great trip!

I enjoyed my day tour of the Ring of Kerry unfortunately there was a lot of 'Irish Mist' along the way but the bus was comfortable and the driver good.

Review by: Judith D	July 2011
A great day seeing some beautiful countryside and enjoying the commentary of the bus driver along the way. I would recommend it to anyone.

My Husband and I had a wonderful time on our tour. Our guide, Dennis, was very friendly and made the trip extremely enjoyable.

Review by: David R	June 2011

Review by: Gerald D	June 2011
The driver/guide made the whole day. He was wonderful, informative and a very nice fellow. He didn't impose but gave us all helpful hints on how to make the best of EACH and EVERY stop we made. He made the whole excursion an enjoyable event. I wish I had his name to mention.

Review by: Harkirat K T	June 2011
Our tour guide Dennis was very knowledgeable and a great host. This tour was simply awesome!

Review by: Kenneth R	June 2011
The tour was great! The tour guide/driver, Michael, was very knowedgeable about the area and history, and had the patience of a saint. We packed a lot into the 6 1/2 hours we were on the tour, including stops for irish coffee, lunch/shopping, photo ops, and a very good sheepherding demo. We highly recommend Dero's for this tour!

Review by: Sonia P	June 2011
Great trip. Best way to see the Ring of Kerry. The driver in your party gets to enjoy it too. The tour drivers comments added a lot to the tour . Would do it again.

Review by: Mark G	June 2011
The tour consist os riding a large tour bus. The bus stopped one time to shoot pictures. The rest of the stops were a pub (irish coffee), lunch at a small village, stop for ice cream (small village). The other stop was to watch a sheep dog demonstration, well worth the $5 euros. The driver was not very informative nor thrilled to be driving a bunch of tourist around compared to other tour companies we used on our Ireland/UK vacation.

Amazing, most beautiful place Ive been too in ages, loved it!

Wonderful. Very organized and informative. I would highly recommend this tour.

Review by: Joel G	April 2011
Very gorgeous scenery resulting in beautiful pictures. Tour guide was nice enough, although not as chatty as I would have liked.

Review by: Kelly W	April 2011
The tour was more than we could have imagined, and were very pleased.

Review by: Sean N	January 2011
Our Ring of Kerry tour, purchased through Viator, was a highlight of our holiday in Ireland. Our guide was informative, but not so talkative that you couldn't enjoy the drive. The stops were well thought out and afforded us some extraordinary photography opportunities. I would, without hesitation, recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the unrivaled beauty of Southwest Ireland. Thank you for the amazing memories!

Review by: Julie J	December 2010
I was advised by email that due to weather conditions they would not know until morning of trip if it would go ahead which was appreciated as it gave us the chance to consider other ways to spend time if necessary, but all was ok and the trip was well worthwhile. The driver was fantastic, very knowledgable and friendly. The tour was brilliant, we made stops at various small towns including one for lunch. Our hotel was on the way back so the driver dropped us off there. It was all very laid back and relaxing and I would thoroughly recommend this trip and the company that organises it.

Bus left on time, very entertaining guide. only downside was lunch was 1.30 - 2.20 p.m. then next stop of 40 minutes was only an hour later. No doubt that is due to where the places are and not the fault of the bus company!

Review by: Vicky R, United States of America	July 2010
Beautiful!!!! Wish there was more time at some of the stops but it was worth the money. Would go on again.

Review by: Helen H, United Kingdom	July 2010
fantastic scenery and helpful guide, lunch was like a school canteen and not cheap - would have been better to buy a sandwich and save the money

Review by: JOANNE T, United States of America	July 2010
Excellent trip, good driver and excellent commentator who deserved a good tip, only complaint was the Delo's counter staff in Killarney when we picked up our tickets

Review by: Anonymous, Canada	July 2010
This was quite a good tour, though I do wish that we had been able to stop a bit more often for photos. The guide was a bit cold at first, but he turned out to be a lovely man with an incredible knowledge of the history of the area. All in all, a day well spent in absolutely stunning surroundings!

Review by: Kevin E, Ireland	March 2010
Really enjoyable trip. Driver was jovial and friendly. Scenery was amazing but we were lucky with the weather - very sunny and blue sky. There were a few stops for taking photos and the views were gorgeous. It was very nice that we were picked up from and dropped back to our hotel. The driver put on the heating when I asked, so the journey was really comfortable on a cold but sunny day. We enjoyed the stop for lunch at a nice traditional bar with great home made soup and a pint of Guinness.

Review by: Dennis K, United States of America	March 2010
Needed a map of where to park and meet the bus.

Review by: Jenny H, New Zealand	August 2009
The bus driver had excellent commentary over the whole trip! He was funny and very informative with a great knowledge of Irish history. I would have liked a few more photo stops, but given the narrow roads, I think we got the best out of the trip all the same!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2009
This tour was amazing and perfect size!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	March 2009
They picked us up from the bus station and let us do the Dingle tour instead of the the Ring of Kerry because it was the only day for the Dingle one. Overall it was very nice time and very pretty. I would recommend doing it.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	January 2009
The scenery was amazing, but the tour guide was boring. He basically pointed out landmarks and played Irish music.

Review by: Curtis L, United States of America	June 2008
Gorgeous ride through the country. Highly recommend it.

Review by: Lionel L, Australia	June 2008
Lovely Irish countryside and scenery on a very comfortable bus and an excellent commentary from the driver. Altogether a very enjoyable day. My only criticism, if any, is that it is difficult to find the depot to board the bus, with many one-way streets and a typical absence of street names in Ireland.

Review by: Beverley J, United Kingdom	June 2008
The tour operator would rate higher if they offered "hotel" pickup to those who book online. Internet customers presumably save the tour operator some effort. The reason given for not offering local pickup was that they could not guarantee the two of us would get seats together. Why could they not reserve our coach seats from the commencement of the journey? As it happens, we reported to the depot and did get seats together, but had the weather been poor we would have appreciated or needed the local pickup.

Review by: Allison M, Canada	June 2008
The ring of Kerry is really beautiful and the tour was informative. It is a small miracle the huge coach stayed on the narrow roads to begin with. But the coach was very full, this tour didn't have the intimate feel of the Killarney Highlights tour. The scenery made up for it though.

Review by: Christine S, United States of America	April 2008
The lunch stop was expensive and the only place to eat. I would recommend a stop where you have a choice for lunch.

Review by: Shelley A, Ireland	March 2008
We had a fantastic day and were so lucky with the weather, the views were breath taking in some spots. Our coach driver/tour guide was great and really made it a fun day.

Review by: Hannah W, United States of America	February 2008
Liked everything but the tour guide. He wasn't too friendly or talkative. Shouldn't that be in the job description?

Review by: Anonymous, Germany	October 2007
The staff was friendly, and the landscape was beautiful. In the end, this is a great tour.

Review by: George S, United States of America	July 2007
This full-day event was a wonderful bargain. We had an excellent guide/driver.
