What's included in the EUR 650 price?

The price covers a 7-hour private tour with a local driver-guide, vehicle with comfortable seating, and pickup/dropoff from your Killarney accommodation. Meals, attractions with entry fees, and personal expenses are not included.

Can I choose which sites to visit, or is the route fixed?

The route is flexible. Your guide will propose a full Ring of Kerry itinerary but can adjust stops based on weather, your interests (beaches, history, photography), and time preferences.

How much walking is involved?

Most stops involve short walks of 5–20 minutes. Skellig viewpoints, beach access, and historic forts vary in accessibility; communicate any mobility concerns when booking so your guide can tailor the experience.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Yes, though the 7-hour duration and coastal scenery work best for ages 7+. Inform your guide of children's ages and interests so they can pace the itinerary and share age-appropriate stories.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your guide will adjust the route to prioritise indoor or sheltered stops (villages, historic sites) and reschedule exposed cliff viewpoints if visibility is poor. The tour runs in most conditions; only heavy storms might warrant rescheduling.

Are there restroom facilities along the route?

Yes, stops include villages (Sneem, Waterville) with cafes and public facilities. Alert your guide to any specific needs so they can plan accordingly.
