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!!

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!

This made so much sense to us and we looked at reviews online and loved that this company is locally owned and operated. We booked the Ring of Kerry trip and it was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. Batt was our driver and he was fantastic - responsible, fun, funny, entertaining, so knowledgeable, and very passionate about the area of the world where he grew up and where his family is from. He told us such interesting personal stories as well as shared so much rich information on the areas we were seeing. We felt like part of the family by the end of the tour! I could not have imagined how beautiful this area is and the mountains, water, cliffs, rolling fields and hills of green are magical. We made a few fun stops but it didn't feel too busy or the pace too rushed. Batt was a great photographer, as well, and always happy to snap a photo for his guests. We felt very comfortable with his driving as the roads do look treacherous to outsiders and we were relieved that we listened and didn't attempt it ourselves. I know for a fact that our experience of the Ring of Kerry was so much richer and better because we booked the Deros tour. We had a fantastic lunch at a little cliffside place (the lamb stew was delicious and very filling!). A highlight was driving through the hilly terrain while Batt sang "Danny Boy" for us (with all the verses, which I adore!). Another fun extra was when we were driving on our own to Dingle the next day and pulled up to Inch Beach. We noticed the Deros bus was there and suddenly, there was Batt waving hello to us! It was so nice to run into a new friend on our travels and realize the wonderful connections we were making on this amazing journey. I left a little piece of my heart in that beautiful area and hope to be able to return soon.

My new wife and I just stayed at the Abbey Lodge on our recent stop through Killarney for our…read morehoneymoon. 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.

The owner, John King, was an excellent host. Breakfast is delicious and when John heard my sister was gluten intolerant, he had gluten-free pancakes with lemon for her. The pancakes came in a pre-made package and he gave the remaining 3 (from a package of 6) to my sister to take with her on the rest of the trip. The thoughtfulness of this gesture has stuck with us since not everywhere provides gluten free options besides yogurt and fruit. The lodge is located minutes away from downtown which has delicious restaurants and great shopping. It was an easy and safe walk to do. It is also located in a great location for seeing the rest of the Killarney area and heading up to the Dingle peninsula. We had not planned to go there, but the short drive was perfect and the views incredible. I highly recommend staying here and enjoying their wonderful hospitality!

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.
