Wonderful visit to the Dingle Peninsula - Friends and I were most fortunate to have Rory Brosnan as our guide for four days of touring around the Dingle Peninsula in May 2024. Although I only chose one of the tours listed, Rory planned a different itinerary for each day, and we had a fabulous time with him. Rory has a great love for his home, and his humour, enthusiasm and stories about this part of heaven were remarkable. I have countless memories of our time in Dingle and would recommend him highly if you’re planning a trip to the Peninsula!

Beautiful tour - We had a great day touring the Ring of Kerry and the Skellig Ring with Colm. The drive is packed with so many beautiful views and interesting historic sites, and Colm's guidance and insights made for a much better experience than if we'd done a self-guided tour. We packed in a lot, and I was really glad we got to view so much of this beautiful region.

You Will Love These Tours - This company really understands the needs and desires of travelers! Three of us had contracted with them to take us on tours for 8 days. I cannot make any suggestions to have made our experience better, and I am usually pretty critical. When we asked for suggestions which related to activities which we thought we would enjoy, our driver always came up with alternatives, and made them happen. He knew personally several artisans and businesses which our travel agent did not, and took us to experiences which were delightful and personal. I cannot recommend Dingle Sleahead Tours strongly enough! The owner, Rory, runs an excellent operation.

The Rings - Unbelievable tour! The pictures on the site don’t do it justice. We were blessed with good weather and the sights were breathtaking. Not to be undone, Collum was first rate in the driving and knowledgeable in local sights and local history. He was wonderful to have as our guide! Spending the day with him resulted in a fast friendship and we hated to say goodbye! This is a 10 star trip!

A Customer-oriented Tour - The private/individual tours of the Ring of Kerry (day one) and the Cliff of Moher (day two) with Dingle Slea Head Tours and the driver/guide Rory Brosnan were outstanding, with an opportunity to learn, visit, and enjoy many small towns, sightseeing at its best. I had originally scheduled the trip to the Dingle peninsula, but circumstances out of everyone's control, forced the tour guide to switch to the Ring of Kerry, instead. It was worthy all the way, and I wholeheartedly recommend the tour and Mr. Brosnan.

A little too many miles to drive for us - We enjoyed the Chocolate Factory. But this was not the tour for us. There was a lot of ground to cover in too short a period of time and we did not enjoy being in the van for that long. The next time we will pick a tour with a shorter distance.
