Ireland · RING OF KERRY TOURS
The Ring is a hundred and eighty kilometres of coast road that coaches drive anticlockwise for a reason. These 15 differ on stops, on whether Skellig viewpoints and the Gap of Dunloe are in, and on how long the photo halts really are.

“Beautiful scenery, but I felt that this tour was very commercialized. An hour at Killarney national park for a horse drawn carriage ride. Half hour at some model village. Group lunch (35-50 people). This could be time spent much better. Still giving it 4 stars, as the second part was lovely. But not sure I'd do it again. I would prefer a different tour.”

It was a bus ride NOT a tour!”

The bed had broken springs sticking up and was lumpy, the pillows were awful, the toilet didn't flush, the walls were so thin that we heard the loud snoring of the man in the next room all night, and the room was tiny with no room to even put your luggage! We stayed one night because it was late when we arrived, then paid to stay in a hotel the second night. Those who…”

This was a second tour we did with John, and he's very knowledgeable and does a lot of little things that made then trip special (ie taking a picture of us together on the train ride, giving us a map of Ireland that we all signed). I felt awful for him because while he sat and waited for us to return from the bus trip, his wallet was stolen. But he still made sure we were all ok and helped us go to a store after the tour…”
