I booked a private chartered mini bus tour with J.O'Callaghans for a group of 11. I came here with…read morea group of friends and figured a nice, relaxing day trip would be a nice way to check out the remote Dingle Peninsula. The price was a steal, if you have even a small group you can more than likely do the trip without being saddled with random strangers on a regular bus tour for about the same cost. The very punctual bus was a nice Mercedes 15 passenger bus with cushy leather captains chairs, a mini fridge and massive windows so you could take in all the scenery. Our driver was the BEST!!! He was so knowledgeable about the area, it's history and random trivia factiods. He let us dictate where we stopped, how long we stayed, gave us tips for places to check out in the various towns and stopped at many scenic overlooks for the shutterbugs in our group. Even on the ride back he didn't seem to be overly concerned with having us back to our house by the official end time of our tour. I would totally and completely suggest J.O'Callaghans for any type of tour of the area!!

A great storyteller for sure, Maurice provided excellent historical and local knowledge.

Thank you for making our visit to Ireland the best! This is the way to travel!!!

Our group of 13 could not have asked for a better tour guide than Paul Brown. From the moment we…read moremet him, it was clear that we were in the best hands. Paul's deep knowledge of all things Ireland--from its rich history and culture to its hidden gems--was truly impressive. Even more remarkable was his pride and passion for sharing it all with us. I gave Paul a few ideas of what we hoped to see and do, and he took that list and turned it into the most unforgettable experience. Every day was perfectly curated and filled with moments we'll be talking about for years to come. His thoughtful planning, flexibility, and attention to detail made the trip feel seamless and incredibly special. We are forever grateful to Paul for making our time in Ireland so memorable. If you're looking for someone who brings Ireland to life and goes above and beyond, Paul is your guy!

He was very friendly and knowledgeable and shared all kinds of facts with us, both scripted and unscripted. We made lots of stops on our way to Dingle and took a ton of pictures. We arrived in Dingle around 2pm and left about an hour and a half later, so we had time to get some lunch, ice cream, and wander the street for a bit. Ger was a very good driver and pulled over to let cars pass us whenever he could, and that didn't impact our timeline at all. He also stopped at a random business so someone in our tour could go to the bathroom partway through the trip. We will be doing the Gap of Dunloe tour with Deros in a few days and I'm looking forward to it. I highly recommend Deros for your day trip needs!

We were looking for a place that was a good home base for the Southwest Coast of Ireland, specifically the Dingle Peninsula. Well, this place was above and beyond our expectations. The service was superb! Make sure you take the time to get to know the owner John King, as he is extremely friendly, accommodating, and just a nice person to talk to. The breakfast was fantastic, and when John found out it was our honeymoon, he brought our breakfast to our room! Great service. The lodge also has a great location as we could walk to the town centre for food or beers (plenty of pubs) and we had walks to Ross Castle, Killarney National Park, and Lough Leane. We saw so many amazing places, just by walking from the Abbey Lodge. Also, we took a train from Dublin, and the Lodge is close to the train station, and if someone is an American scared about driving on the opposite side of the road, Killarney is an easy place to get your feet wet. The Budget Rental Car is right near the lodge, and you will meet another great man, Liam, who will go out of his way to help you. Rent the car, DRIVE TO DINGLE, walk around all of Killarney, and stay at the Abbey Lodge.

Also try not to let them put you in suites 10-20. You have to walk too far from the parking lot to get to the door.

The lady I dealt with there was very pleasant.
