Amazing Small Group Tour of The Ring of Kerry
This was an excellent tour and one of the highlights of our time in Ireland. Our guide, Michael was amazing! And with the van (rather than a larger tour bus) we were able to visit places the big buses cannot access. We loved the stop at the Kerry Cliffs! Highly recommend this private small group tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words,it is our pleasure to make special memories of your visit to Kerry.

Rainy and cloudy day on the Ring
It was a fantastic road trip around ring of Kerry. Bill was wonderful and we all felt very safe on the cold and rainy day in July. Bill showed us sites we would never see on a bus , driving up small roads and foggy mountain tops get us to beautiful sites . Thanks again
Response from the operator: HI, Thank you for your kind words,the day was pretty wet,we like to think that is the reason for our forty. shades of green, despite the weather I hope we helped create some special memories of your visit to Kerry .

Comfortable ride. Billy was a great tour guide. He took us to the parts that the typical buses couldn’t travel on. Valencia island and port McGee were our favorites!

Favorite part of our entire trip!
My fiancé and I did the private tour from our hotel in Killarney through the Ring of Kerry with Derrick as our guide. The experience was our absolute favorite part of our entire trip to Ireland! Derrick was phenomenal—very knowledgeable and an overall great and enjoyable person to be around. He had the best recommendations and took so many great photos for us! Let us know whenever you make your way over to the US, Derrick :)

Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Killarney.
How much does Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $896 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Killarney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Killarney is not rushed.
Is Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Killarney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Killarney 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 Killarney and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour 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 Killarney 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 Killarney?
+
On Outty we rank every Killarney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Killarney National Park Tour, Full-Day Tour of the Dingle Peninsula, Slea Head, and Inch Beach, Ring Of Kerry 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 Killarney?
+
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 Killarney?
+
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.
What is included in Ring of Kerry & Skellig Ring - Private Mini Bus Tour?
