    The Gap of Dunloe toyr was amazing! Our tour director, Laura, made sure we were in the right place at the right time and that we had what we needed. The tour guides for pony & cart and the boat ride were both very nice, informative and had great sense of humor. Despite a bit of rain, we were extremely happy!! Thank you all so much!!

    The Gap of Dunloe was the highlight of my week. It was so enjoyable. The scenery was spectacular and our guides were more than helpful, both in the jaunting car and on the boat tour. We were blessed with the weather as the sun shone all day long. I would highly recommend this trip, well worth it and a fantastic experience to see Kerry at its best. Louise

    Not to be missed!

    This was one of the highlights of our trip! Such beautiful scenery, friendly staff, and our group was relatively small (8), which was nice! It was relaxing to just sit back & enjoy our surroundings - a nice departure from the hectic travel schedule we'd been keeping prior to. Would definitely return / recommend.
