The tour company should have told us there was a big football game going on in Killarney where we met the 2nd bus which severely affected traffic. Streets were blocked off and the bus had to take a longer route around it, thus delaying our tour. We did not stop frequently enough or for a long period of time 45 minutes is not long enough for a bus load of people to get lunch and look around the town. We stopped 30 minutes in Sneem to accommodate people looking up their ancestry. There was no parking at the waterfall so we missed that. We had to wait 30 minutes again due to traffic to meet up with the bus in Killarney. The delays added about 3 hours to our already long day. The sites were beautiful, but most of my pictures are from the bus window.
Nice tour of the Ring of Kerry, but I don't know how I would change it to be better short of it being a semi-private or private tour. It's difficult to constantly stop and discharge 50 passengers for photo ops. The length of time at a particular place is minimal it's just scenery beautiful sce...
Nice tour of the Ring of Kerry, but I don't know how I would change it to be better short of it being a semi-private or private tour. It's difficult to constantly stop and discharge 50 passengers for photo ops. The length of time at a particular place is minimal it's just scenery beautiful scenery at that but it takes time to load and unload. So, you have to understand what this tour is, and is not. It is not a private tour, stopping wherever along the 100 mile Ring of Kerry. Most of what you see, you see from a bus window. Having said that, this is the most economical way to see the Ring of Kerry. A private tour will probably cost 10 times the price of this tour. The choice is yours.
The scenery is wonderful on this trip. We travelled through idyllic Irish towns with quaint buildings and gorgeous flowers, then through the beautiful countryside before heading into the mountains and out to the coast. The natural beauty of this area is really worth seeing.

This is mostly a bus tour, with frequent photo stops, but the landscape is really pretty.

It was an outstanding experience except one issue. Our tour was suppose to start at 10.30 am from Limerick but one day before tour, we got email from Viator that it will start at 8.30 am so we reached at pick up point at 8.20 am but there was no one. we tried to find out what to do but it took lot of efforts to reach someone and got to know that tour will pick us at 10.30 and email was sent in error. Our taxi driver was very helpful during that time. Later on, we complained to Viator and they refunded entire amount of our tour because of this. I am thankful to them to taking it seriously.
Agréable mais un temps médiocre avec de la pluie qui a nuit à la visite. Un guide gentil qui ne s’arrête jamais de parler et beaucoup d’heure de car.
