Highlights
  • Kerry Bog Village Museum - The Kerry Bog Village, located on the beautiful Ring of Kerry gives you a fascinating insight into how people lived and worked in Ireland in the late 19th Century. The village is the only one of its kind in Europe and is one of Kerry’s leading tourist attractions. Ideal for families and tourists with spacious parking.

Step back in time and take a wonderful look at Ireland’s rural history, heritage and lifestyle. Visitors will experience the culture, customs and living conditions of our great ancestors through the famine years, and late 19th century. The village has period thatched cottages, fully furnished with authentic antiques, complete with sound effects and figurines. Outdoors, we display a fabulous array of rural farm equipment, used by turf cutters and farmers of the time period.

This stop is also used for a Morning Coffee/Restroom stop
Time also for a walk in the area if one did not want to visit the Village.

Great day - Our guide, John, was brilliant. The weather was poor but John made the day enjoyable. I would love to do it with beautiful weather but it is Ireland after all.

Leave the Driving of the Ring to an experienced Guide. - First tip, don't try to drive it on your own. We hired a guide through Deros Coach Tours and had a fantastic time, enjoying spectacular views and learned so much. The Ring is 111 miles which without stopping would take 3.5 hours. It took us almost 6 hours and the time flew by. It's very narrow in some places so good to have someone with experience driving you. Plus you have the advantage of enjoying the ride. Highly recommend.

Spectacular Ring of Kerry Private Tour - Stunningly spectacular views on this scenic tour. I highly recommend doing the private tour — it is 100% worth it. You get to go at your own pace and your guide can take you places the buses cannot. Piotr Jawniak was a fantastic guide who went out of his way to accommodate our desires. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Pro tip: do not drink too much the night before your tour. The winding back roads can be difficult on the stomach and even harder to manage an emergency pull over! 🥴

Beautiful - Bat/Bart was a great driver/guide. The tour was really beautiful with enough time at each stop. Lunch was quite late, after 2pm, and the restaurant wasn’t great. 2 days before we went on the Dingle peninsula tour and it was stunning, with enough time at each stop. We booked with another company that couldn’t do it and gave us to yours. Anna our guide and Tim our driver were great. Again lunch was quite late, after 2pm. Ask for their restaurants’ recommandations because TripAdvisor is quite false in touristy Dingle.

Great tour and awesome tour guide - We had so much fun! I took my dad on this tour and it was great. The guide was super informative and accommodating. He took us to some beautiful sites and made sure we had plenty of time to see everything, eat, and use the bathroom. Honestly it was perfect I would totally recommend this tour.

Beautiful trip - Loved the visit to Waterville and Sneem most of all. A small feed back to the tour company - try to give us longer time at Sneem village as it’s too beautiful to skip and we get very little time there. Otherwise the trip was very beautiful, the driver was very nice and was quite hospitable towards us apart from the information and Trivia that he shared.
