We didn't want to drive ourselves and after looking at their website decided to book the tour. We did not regret it. The pick up and drop off service was very nice since we didn't need to find either the depot or parking. Both tours were well organized and the drivers commentary was helpful and informative without distracting you from... More

You do not want to do this drive in your rental car. For one thing you will miss all the scenery and you are either going to get stuck behind a bus or come head to head with many on the very windy and narrow road. We really enjoyed the tour and especially John O'Neil who talked non-stop about the... More

I did both the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula Tours. Both were really nice: what we saw was amazing! Moreover, the staff is extermely friendly and helpful. When doing the Ring of Kerry tour, I wouldn't recommend going to the Kerry Bog Village though - very touristy and not worth the 5€ entry. I'll recommend O'Connors to everyone! More

I went with the same tour some yars ago. That was better because we stopped in villages. Now the stops are at speed-serving installations where you have to queue in the souvernir shop to get to the food. Do not miss the sheep-dog demonstration - fantastic. Copuld give the tour a 5-star only for that. But I think it has... More

We (me, hubby and his mom) enjoyed our Ring of Kerry (RoK) day tour with O'Connor Autotours. We met the tour at their "depot" which is actually a house on Ross St in Killarney. There other passengers were brought in by van for our prompt departure for the RoK. John O'Neill was our guide/driver and a delightful man. We enjoyed... More

I went on the O'Connor Ring of Kerry tour last week, for the 2nd year in a row, and absolutely LOVED it! The day starts with being picked up at your B&B, or hotel, and going to thier main office to check in and pay for your tour. After a very minimal wait, the tour begins! We were lucky enough... More

We are not really a "tour couple" but thoroughly enjoyed our tour with O'Connor tours. We signed up not really sure what to expect. The tour was supposed to leave at 10:35 and it did, exactly on time. And that's how the rest of the tour went; everyone was respectful of each other's time and so was the driver. Our... More

I'll repeat what seems to have been said in most comments- I thoroughly enjoyed the Ring of Kerry tour with O'Connor Autotours! I had John O'Neill as my guide. He was kind enough to show me around Killarney a few nights and show me the Irish way of life. Before I came to Ireland I told all of my friends... More

Booked the tour online, saved some money there. The bus was clean, and our driver John O'Neil was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. A thoroughly pleasant way to see this area in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend it!!! You can park at the tour office, it is the white house past the red brick house after you turn on to Ross...

My fiance and I really enjoyed the Ring of Kerry tour. Our driver was fun and energetic with in depth knowledge of the area. Our tour utilized a smaller bus with roughly 20 people, which we liked better than the large motorcoach. The Ring of Kerry is absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend this tour. More
