This is the BEST way to see the Ring of Kerry. William is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history of Ireland in general. He took us places where the large tour coaches do not/cannot go, namely the Kerry Cliffs and seeing Skellig Michael. We had as much time as we needed to take in the sights. The convenience of being picked up/dropped off at our BnB was an added bonus. Thank you, William, for a very memorable day! Peter & Maggie

We had great time, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and boat was not crowded at all. Day as nice and sunny and we really enjoyed the ride. It is beautiful to see Killarney from the boat. We took the boat from the castle to Lord Brandon's cottage, from where we hiked to Kate's cottage. Fabulous views. we then took a shuttle bus back to Killarney. Lovely day

Paudie is an incredible guide and his Ring of Kerry tour is not to be missed! He was born and raised on the Ring of Kerry and, as a result, knows everything about the area and is friendly (or related to) most everyone who lives there. He took us places we never would have found on our own or seen on another tour, and we loved his stories of growing up in the area. The tour was entertaining, educational, and spectacularly beautiful. And his van is super comfortable and immaculate. Our kids loved Paudie and we look forward to seeing him again for another tour. We highly recommend!

Sure, have you never heard of an Irish half hour? It can stretch out for days and 5 days is what you’ve got to experience this memorable, expertly guided road trip, over ever-changing landscape, along The Wild Atlantic Way. From shucking Clarinbridge oysters and downing creamy stout in Galway, to the jaw dropping sights of the Ring of Kerry, with only the Atlantic separating the 40 shades from the 50 U.S. states. Cool down with Fungie, Dingle’s resident dolphin who came for the fish in 1984 and stayed for the craic or feel like you’re at the edge of the world, at the dramatic Cliffs of Moher. And how about a spot of kissing at the Blarney Stone where you’ll come away with the gift of the ‘gab’ (talk); handy for ‘having the craic’ with your small tour group. And in between the heritage and culture, bohemian Galway and dinky Doolin, there’ll be ceol agus craic (music and boldness), seafood and banter and an epic road-trip you’ll never forget.

Sadly, in these uncertain days of Coronavirus, I had to cancel my upcoming tour. The team at Overland Ireland were compassionate and understanding in working out the details so as to minimize losses all around. Flexible reschedule options into next year were offered as well. This is the kind of small company to support.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. The ride was and scenery was may even more enjoyable because of the humor of the driver. We went in September of 2019 and I found their card while cleaning out my suitcase. It was so enjoyable I had to add a review.
