5Great tour!
Billy gave a great private tour-he’s obviously very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. I learned so much, and he tailored the tour to my specific interests.
5Amazing experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a wonderful excursion for our family! Being that we were driving, if it rained this is a perfect way to see the sites while staying dry. It happened to be beautiful during our trip and the outside views and activities were amazing. Star Wars memorabilia, quaint petting zoo, cliffside views, baby lambs, and more! And our tour guide Billy was incredible. We loved it
5Amazing tour!!

5The driver was local born...
The driver was local born and raised in the area. Billy had so much knowledge and was very pleasant. The fog did come in and obstructed some of our views.
5The best way to experience the area.
Although he had a planned agenda he offered options and was very flexible and accommodating of what we wanted to see, picture-taking stops, ready with information, etc.
5Definitely recommend!
The trip was wonderful! Just the right amount of stops and historical information. We’d definitely recommend it. Took the stress out of driving ourselves and everyone got to enjoy the views.

About Dingle
Dingle is a brightly painted harbour town on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, with music pubs, Irish-speaking villages and wild Atlantic scenery.
Dingle, An Daingean in Irish, is a small fishing harbour on the Dingle Peninsula in the south-west of Ireland, in a district where Irish is still spoken in daily life. Its streets of painted shopfronts run up from the harbour, and in the evenings the pubs fill with traditional music sessions. Fishing boats still unload at the pier, and seafood is the town's trade.
