★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 663 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $71Our pick

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!”

6.Guided Killarney National Park Walking 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 the Galway to Connemara National Park tour, including Diamond Hill, scenic stops, guide tips, timing, value, and practical advice.

“Seamous, our guide was very good, very warm hearted softly spoken and friendly. His narration was lovely. He even allowed us to get off the bus early to walk home along the beach. The Connemara trip took in many sights and stops which was so fabulous and beautiful. it has to be my favourite so far. I can't say anything I didn't like. Getting to the top of Diamond Hill can be done in 2 hours. my advice would be to get as far as you can on the red and come back. you may be surprised how quickly you can get upRead more”
