Review of the Ring of Kerry tour from Cork, with Killarney, Sneem, Waterville, Torc Waterfall, costs, stops, and practical tips.

“A fun solo bus trip. Sure Wish that the clouds and fog would have cooperated more for the views. Make sure to bring cash for experiences at the stops, such as the Jaunting Cart Ride in Killarney. Kevin was a great guide and really helped to make the experience fun and exceptional, especially with the inclement weather impending views.”

Review of McCarthy’s private horse-drawn tour through Killarney National Park, with Ross Castle, lake views, local stories, pricing, and practical tips.

“This tour was a highlight in Killarney! There are many carriage companies here, but it’s clear this family-owned business is the best in the area. Our guide was incredible and his horse Duke was gorgeous. It’s clear the family takes very good care of the horses and offers them rest. We learned so much about Killarney and the National Park. Great tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 377 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $19

Review of Killarney National Park’s two-hour guided walk, with local stories, wildlife, quiet trails, practical tips, price, and honest drawbacks.

“I booked this tour spontaneously and didn't have very high expectations, but it turned out to be an amazing experience thanks to our guide Mike! He was just fantastic - super friendly and knowledgeable, and a true local. There was only one other person in the group (a female solo-traveler just like me), so it almost seemed like a private tour. Mike took "off the beaten path" quite literally and we saw some places that I never would've discovered on my own. It was by far the best walking tour I've ever done!”

Review of Killarney’s Bus, Boat and Jaunting Cart Tour, including the Gap of Dunloe, lake cruise, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The Gap of Dunloe was absolutely breathtaking and the jaunting cart was exceptional. Both our jaunting cart driver and boat captain were wonderful. However, our start was very bad. The bus driver snapped that he did not care if we had the appropriate paperwork, yelled to everyone that we needed to leave 15 minutes early and, when a fellow passenger said "we have 15 minutes before the tour starts," he screamed at her to "get off his bus." He drove like a maniac and was angry the entire time. He ended up dropping us off to the first stop an hour early and he left. The boat captain wasn't permitted…”
