Poor Communication Cause Us Stress
Nice relaxing trip to see the Ring of Kerry except for an issue with miscommunications. The meetup location was changed the night before our departure and we were not notified. We ran to two different locations before finding our tour guide. On our trip description, it states that entrance to all attractions would be free. We ended up paying an entrance fee for both attractions. Plus we were suppose to have "first class" seats on the train. We were seated in the regular coach section. We have used Viator many times in the past. This is the first time we encountered problems. When we addressed the issue of not being communicated about the change in the departure location, the tour guide, Andrew, said, "There is your truth, my truth and the real truth". Really? The truth was no one contacted us with the change. And, prior to leaving us in Killarney our first tour guide had walked us to the meet up location so we know exactly where we needed to meet.
Response from the operator: Hi Cheryl, Thanks for the review. As you are aware and per our email correspondence, we are sincerely apologetic about the mix-up - it was a small mistake on our part and we will ensure such issues don't arise again in the future. We will also take this opportunity to note that the tour continued as normal, without issues, and everyone else enjoyed it. Regarding the "included attractions" - the tour operated as advertised. We do not include the sheepdog demonstration or the bog museum, this is not listed as included in the tour. Your refund request doesn't align with our T&Cs - it is also notably disproportionate to the issues you encountered. All the best, The Railtours Ireland Team

Best way to see the country - even better with Norman and John!!!
This is the best way to see this beautiful country! We started the tour with Norman, who was truly the best introduction to the Irish railway system. You could see immediately how passionate he is about his job and the culture. Then, our tour guide in Kerry, John, was both knowledgable and thoughtful. Both Norman and John made us feel safe and provided detailed information about our trip. Our only suggestion for travelers is to pack light. While the accommodation in Killarney was excellent, you may not have much room on the bus/train.
Response from the operator: Dear Patricia, Thank you very much for your lovely review! We are delighted you enjoyed our Ring of Kerry Day Tour Plus, and are pleased to hear that our hosts Norman and John gave you an excellent introduction to Irish hospitality. Your kind words have been passed on. We hope to welcome you back on tour with us soon! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team

Awesome Tour!
We started our tour with Joe - whose job was to meet us at the train in Dublin, ride with us and make sure we made it to our hotel safely. The tour set us up at the Killarney Avenue Hotel and it was wonderful! We walked around, grabbed a bite to eat and continued exploring. The following day we linked up with Bryan, who took us on our tour of the Ring of Kerry and various stops along the way. The entire time he shared the rich history of the region and was safe and punctual. Afterwards, we were dropped off at the train station where Joe was there to escort us safely back to Dublin! Wonderful experience and would highly recommend!

Killarney & Ring of Kerry
This tour was absolutely wonderful! I cannot say enough about it! John Mcdonald was our tour guide that picked us up at the train station in Dublin and rode with us all the way to Killarney. He was so informative, so friendly, and very patient. He pointed out all kinds of things we never would have learned about if we did another kind of tour. We had three hours of one-on-one time to pick his brain about everything about Ireland! He was a wonderful man and once we arrived in Killarney, he showed us the basic lay of the land and pointed us in the right way for some of the greatest pubs to go to for a good lunch! He also was very thorough in making sure we knew exactly where to go for our tour the next day to the ring of Kerry. He also advised us on a couple of other attractions -for instance-the Ross Castle that we also were able to make it to in time because of his thorough instructions! Then upon our return to Dublin, he met us at the Killarney train station early and got us all set! It was e dry but worth the money! Highly recommend!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin. cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin. take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin.?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin.?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Killarney and Ring of Kerry Rail Tour from Dublin. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
