We were a small group of three with Mary G as our walking tour guide of Killarney. While we all had been in Killarney a few times over the years, this was our first time actually taking a walking tour there. It was well worth it as Mary gives insights into the town’s history and heritage that only a local will know. She was born and schooled in Killarney so she really shares her passion for her home town. As Mary has lived in France and Italy, she is very capable of putting the stories of Killarnye in a European context. So it was really interesting also to hear her stories of what French and Europeans enjoy about Killarney. It’s only when you take a tour with Mary that you see and discover things are only known to locals; interesting insights into medieval laneways, hidden architectural gems and a fabulous walk through the environs of Killarney House and National Park. We enjoyed the glorious gardens, fantastic views over the lakes and even saw deer grazing in nearby paddocks. When you have a few spare hours, a walking tour of Killarney Town with Mary G is highly recommended.

Ted Kennedy is a truly wonderful tour guide! Friendly, warm and exceptionally well-informed, he is your go-to man when you next visit Valentia Island or Portmagee. I spent a spectacular day with him and couldn't thank him enough for the wonderful ride and engaging conversations. Affable and with a great sense of humour, Ted doesn't just take you on a mere tour - he presents you with an experience of a lifetime!

Ted was nothing but pleasant, accommodating, and kind! He made sure our group of 8 was well taken care of during our private tour. He made sure to ask what we would like to do and gave us options about taking a hike or choosing chocolate; we chose chocolate, LOL! I would absolutely book Ted again; he made the day so easy and made sure I was in the loop with pickup and drop-off.

6. Off the beaten Path Private Tour of Ring of Kerry

Guided Tours With Mary G

What better way to see the 'Ring of Kerry' than with a local experienced and licensed native guide who loves sharing her passion for her native land. Sit back and listen to the fascinating stories that go with territory. Spend most of your day in the 'off the beaten path' tracks where the coaches cannot go and which have the most spectacular of all the scenery.
