Great driver guide for family trip - Kris was an excellent driver and guide. He customized our day to optimize our group’s interests and stay ahead of the weather forecast. The tour was amazing with great stops for our kids to keep them engaged and amazing views. The cliffs of Kerry are incredible. Doing this with a driver guide made the day much more enjoyable so we could relax and enjoy it instead of worrying about the driving and trying to determine what stops to make and how much time to spend at each place. Would high recommend Kris for any of his tours.

A perfect option - We were able to customize so that we didn’t duplicate with other activities and saw things the big tour buses couldn’t get to. Very nice day.

Calm, beautiful day - The trip was perfect - we drove down from Limerick, and our driver, Peter, told us where to park for free. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and never made us feel rushed. We saw numerous beautiful sites, learned more about life in the area, and enjoyed the day.

Touring with Kris is a "can't miss"! - Our day with Kris was simply fantastic and sure to be the highlight of our 10-day visit to Ireland! Kris is quite knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating. The scenery is fantastic and only made better by Kris' descriptions of the history and traditions of the area. Thanks again Kris, and we hope to see you again soon!

Must Experience - Ring of Kerry! - Our family had an amazing time with Kris on the Ring of Kerry tour. He was very knowledgeable about Irish history and shared many interesting facts along the journey. We had a beautiful day and saw much more than we would have on a bus tour. Also it was a lot less stressful and more enjoyable to have him driving so we could focus on the beautiful scenery.

An unforgettable experience with a person who cares deeply about history, nature, and the beauty of Ireland. - Chris is THE person to take you on a personalized tour of the Ring of Kerry. First and foremost - Chris tailored the tour to our itinerary offering fantastic options. Our comfort, safety, and enjoyment were his priorities. He utilizes modern technology with his audio system to be sure everyone could hear the history, stories, and information he shared. He even had short, engaging, and informative videos for all to enjoy on flip screens in his modern van to paint the picture of the time periods and events he was teaching us about. We sincerely just had the best day ever with him. He truly prides himself on creating the most pleasurable experience and we are all forever grateful for the memories we walked away from due to him.

An excellent two day excursion provided by a very knowledgeable and delightful guide. - Kris was an exceptional guide on a two day excursion from Killarney. He was highly knowledgeable regarding history and was keenly interested in providing a tour that was personalized for us. He knew of many local stops that we would have never found on our own. We were so appreciative of his driving skills and his kindness.

Highly recommend! Great trip! - Kris escorted us through the Ring of Kerry. I'd highly recommend him for any tour. He's knowledgeable and shares his insights in a way that is fun and interesting. He was also very patient, allowing us to explore areas of interest. When the weather was not cooperating, he adjusted to make sure we got the bang for our buck. I will definitely book with Kris the next time we visit.

We weren’t the main priority. - Polite but not interested in us. Never asked names. I requested to turn up sound, back of van difficult to hear sound. Long spans of no information “I have nothing more to say.” Driver could not hear questions being asked him in the van. Never offered a microphone for those which I found out afterwards was available. There was a language and knowledge translation difference that made the tour difficult at times. We’ve been in Ireland three times so we had some knowledge. Driver was polite, van very comfortable, water much appreciated. He completed the tour within his time specifications.
