Our tour of the Dingle peninsula and Slea Head drive with Des was a highlight of our trip. We did the private tour as a group of five people adults and found it well worth it. The company was very helpful and responsive, and Des was an excellent guide, bringing us to spots that we could not have come across on our own, and full of local knowledge and tips

My Slea Head drive was pure magic—sweet lambs, fairy rings, ancient beehive huts, and sensational coastal vistas framed by seemingly infinite shades of green. Every stop offered a little more history and a deeper sense of the warmth and spirit of Ireland. Mike was an absolute delight, bringing it all to life with his stories, humor, and love for this extraordinary place. An amazing experience and a highlight of my time in Dingle!
What an amazing 4 hours we spent with the delightful and funny Doora, who combined amazing history and perspectives of what we saw with a heavy amount of Irish banter and wit! She was amazing. Don’t book this tour without ensuring she is your guide! Sliánte Doora! Thanks for sharing your love of the peninsula with us.
Mike Walsh was fantastic! He was engaging, funny, and kind. We had a lot of laughs together. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the history of the area and witnessed the natural beauty too. I’d book again with him in a heartbeat!
The Dingle Peninsula is spectacular, and we loved our private afternoon tour with Collum. He is fun, informative, and happy to help out with photos. We thought about driving ourselves but are glad we made the choice to do a private tour so that we could both relax and enjoy the tremendous beauty of the area. We highly recommend Dingle Slea Head Tours.
Rory took us on a tour of the Dingle Peninsula. He was kind, accommodating, informative, and interested in personalizing our drive. The tour covers beautiful ocean and land scenery through very narrow and busy roads. We were so happy to NOT be driving! It was clear that he loves the area and likes sharing the scenery with clients. If I had time, I'd return and do all the tours they provide. Rory also went out of his way to pick us up and provide us with more information about the remainder of our trip. We had an open slot the following day, and he emailed us a detailed description of places he recommended and sites to visit. This was truly helpful as we had not planned our day for when we left Dingle. Ireland is beautiful and friendly, and this company is a perfect example of that!
Our Slea Head Drive tour with Mike was absolutely outstanding. Mike was an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide, growing up right here in Dingle made for a wealth of awesome stories. It was a gorgeous day weather-wise and the views from the drive and the beaches were unreal. Visiting the ancient sites felt very special as well. And, not having to worry about driving on the challenging road made this private tour even more worth it - but really it was Mike who made it worth it!
Our private tour of Slea Head with Rory Brisbane exceeded our expectations. Rory answered questions we had before pick up. Rory was informative along the route and not in a rush. Customized the journey to our liking! Absolute perfect day.
Patrick gave us a tbitoughly enjoyable tour. The sites and hustory were immersion and often breathtaking. Patrick catered to any preferences we had and was easy vompany the whole trip. We HIGHLY recommend end using a driver on Sleigh Head drive and Connor Pass (especially). And Patrick is a sure fire win.
Pat was an excellent guide. Very informative and personable. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Patrick was a wonderful toyr guide. GREAT driver on harrowing roads, informative, thoughtful, accommodating. We stopped at interesting historical sights as well as breathtaking landscapes.
Our private tour with Dora was amazing! She was so informative and passionate about Ireland and specifically the Dingle Peninsula. So glad we didn’t attempt that drive on our own!
If you are in Dingle, a must tour is with Slea Head tours! Just outstanding! Very knowledgeable tour guides!
One of the best tours we’ve done! Rory was outstanding, informative, funny, and super helpful. He showed us around Dingle and the Slea Head Drive. His company Dingle Slea Head Tours is fortunate to have him. He asked about our other plans and gave us lots of local recommendations and tips also. I highly recommend him!

We had the best experience with Dingle Slea Head Tours. Our guide, Mike, was amazing!! He is from Dingle and was just a pleasure to spend time with. He taught us a lot and showed us all of the great sites! I highly recommend this tour!! The views are spectacular and probably our favorite part of our week long trip to Ireland!
If you like the history of the area ,and other oddities this is the trip. Mike was outstanding friendly and very patient with our questions etc The small tour worth the extra few bucks And of course we had absolutely perfect weather which can be hard to get Thank you Mike Zint
Rory took our family of four out on a rainy day — not the best for viewing the scenery — and yet, it was still a highlight of the trip. He told us about his life on the peninsula and gave us the background on the amazing spots on the drive. Truly a special experience. Highly recommended.
The Slea Head Dingle tour was an absolutely fantastic experience, made even better by our funny and incredibly informative tour guide, Des. He brought the history, scenery, and stories of the area to life with great humor and plenty of fascinating facts along the way. Des kept us entertained throughout the tour and had us laughing while still learning something new at every stop and giving us a great cardio workout too! Des also booked us a dinner reservation at Murphy’s when we got back. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dingle—it was a memorable day from start to finish!
Mike Walsh was terrific! He was very knowledgeable about the area and very personable. We saw everything listed in the tour plus lots of other interesting side notes that gave a better understanding of the area. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
We did a private Slea Head Tour with Mike as our guide. He was fantastic. It was definitely the way to do it because we would not have been able to navigate the roads with our group of 7. Mike grew up in Dingle and his knowledge and story telling made it extra special. Of course the kids loved the hold a baby lamb part of the drive. The sites were spectacular.
This is the perfect way to see the coast as there is no way we would have attempted to drive this on our own. Colm was a fantastic guide for our group of five adults from the Boston area. Very knowledgeable and funny. Pick up and drop off right at our Airbnb couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thanks Colm!
We had a fantastic time on this trip. Our guide Mike was fantastic and showed us all the things we wanted to see and those we didn’t even know about. We had our own car, but hiring a local guide and being able to enjoy the scenery without the stress of driving was worth the money. And they comfortably handled our family of 7. Thank you for a wonderful time.
Colm was a fabulous guide and a pleasure to spend the day with. He was friendly and very informative. It was a lovely day.
Great experience! Our guide took the best care of our family group. Never rushed or in a hurry, we got to spend the time we wanted at each stop. Thorough expert on local history, locations and events. He also had a great sense of humor and shared many colorful stories. Highly recommend.
We had the best time on this tour . Highly recommend. Our driver Des(v?)was informative, had a great sense of humor and just all around great! The scenery was spectacular, feeding baby lambs was a highlight . The vehicle was also comfortable and clean.
Our group of 7 had THE best experience! What a way to see all the sight! The van was gorgeous and so comfortable! Our guide was perfect! He was so knowledgeable and attentive! He took us everywhere we wanted to go! He took so many great pictures for us, he was funny and completely knowledgeable of history and the best spots! The highlight was on conners pass, he stopped and told us we could hike up a mountain to follow a natural spring to the most gorgeous lake!
Rory was a great tour guide! He was informative and flexible. He made sure the adults were having a great time while ensuring that the kids were entertained and safe. Even though the weather was not great, the experience was amazing. We will definitely book again in the future!
This is absolutely the best tour. So much to see. Beautiful vistas everywhere you look. Rory made sure we saw it all and never hurried us. I would do this tour again. Highly recommend!!
The tour was excellent! Rory was knowledgeable and personable. Learning about his life in Dingle made the experience richer. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and the views were stunning. We’re delighted that we chose to hire the private experience so we could enjoy the views, without the stress of driving on the left, and do it at our pace. I’d recommend Dingle Slea Head tours to anyone and expect we’ll use them again on our next trip to Ireland.
We had 3 separate private tours with Rory, Colm and Dora, and they were all excellent. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable of the best spots and history of this beautiful place. An overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend safely touring with professionals while enjoying the scenery rather than navigating winding narrow roads!
We had a great time with Mike! Being local there was a wealth of information. Beautiful day and a great day with my 22 and 18 year old kids. Much more enjoyable for me than when I did the driving when visiting previously. We all had a great time.
Best way to enjoy this route ! Loved our day with Colm!
Rory was incredible! My husband and I had visited Dingle before but my husband couldn’t really enjoy the views because he was driving. This time we had a private tour with Rory. He is such a great guy. He was informative, funny and tailored the tour to our specific tastes. And he showed us things not in tour guide too. We will be booking with him again!
Our driver Rory was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly. He offered not only information on the history and nuances of the sites but also of Dingle and Ireland as a whole. Highly recommend. A must do in Dingle!
Had a great tour with Rory. Beautiful scenery and interesting conversation about life in the community. Definitely not roads I wanted to drive. Highly recommend
The private tour (3 of us) was just amazing. We didn't have to worry about driving while being able to focus on the scenery and hear the history of Ireland and the area. Colm was an excellent driver and personal guide. He gave us as much time as we wanted at each stop, while getting to see so much in 4 hours. Would definitely recommend.
We had an amazing experience on the Dingle Slea Head private 4-hour tour! Dez was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. He shared so much interesting history and local insight, and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to stop, explore, and take in the stunning scenery. The pace was perfect and never rushed. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Dez as your guide!
We absolutely loved our tour! Our guide was super welcoming and really packed a lot in for us in a short amount of time. Thank you Dingle Slea Head Tours for making our time in Dingle so memorable! I highly recommend touring with them.
Rory was our guide on a 1/2 day tour of Slea Head. He was knowledgeable, funny, fun and helpful. Would definitely book again.
Wow. What a great experience. Mike was our guide and he is the best. He took us to so many great places and explained all of them with great detail. Mike was such a joy to spend the day with, it was like having an old friend with us. Please request Mike when booking your tour, it will be the highlight of your trip.
Highly recommend this tour. Top notch from start of reservation to end of the tour. Our guide, Rory, was knowledgeable about the history of the peninsula and gave us ample time to enjoy the views of each stop along the tour. He took pictures of my wife and I at various locations and made the tour very personal for us.
What a beautiful tour of the Dingle Peninsula! Colm was a friendly and extremely informative tour guide. He was flexible on photo opportunities as we had so many great stops! Loved it!
Our group of six had two fabulous tours led by Colm of Dingle Slead Head Tours. Ease of booking and all communications from Rory made planning a breeze. Day one featured the 4-hour tour around the breathtaking Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head, and Day two a 7-hour unforgettable tour to Killarney. As a native of the area, our driver Colm gave great insights into the history and culture of the areas. We enjoyed his personal tidbits, laughter, quick wit and willingness to personalize the tours to our interests. Among the many highlights were the majestic drive along the Conor Pass in Dingle, the jaunting carriage ride through the Gap of Dunlop in Killarney and the beautiful sights of Torc Waterfall, Muckross Abbey, Ross Castle and beyond. Colm, thanks for making our trip so memorable and fun. I highly recommend Dingle Slea Tours!
This tour was one of our highlights in Ireland. It was informative and a beautiful experience. The thing that really made it so special was our driver and guide Mike. He was so kind and funny. He was very knowledgeable and just made this your exceptional. I cannot say enough about how great he was. I give this tour and Mike 10 stars!! Thank you Mike for a fun and amazing experience!
Our group couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough! The scenery was stunning and we enjoyed each stop along the way. If you can request Mike as your tour guide, you won’t be disappointed! He was knowledgeable, passionate about the area and its history, and made the whole experience really fun. This is a must do if you’re in the area!
We had a fantastic tour with Rory. Gave us background information about each of the gorgeous stops and ample time to explore. On our way back to dingle he drove us around and gave pointers on where to eat and what else to do. He even gave us an alternate scenic route to take to walk back to our accommodation outside of town. Would highly recommend this tour.
Weather was not our friend the day we did this tour. At no fault of our tour guide Callum. He was amazing with what he had to work with. Weather was rainy with no visibility.
What an amazing tour Michael gave the six of us. The pickup was seamless and the vehicle was comfortable and easy in/out for the stops. Michael is so knowledgeable and personable that we were able to get so much of all sorts of information from his commentary. He had so many fascinating personal experiences of his own, his father's, and friends' to relate to us. It was the highlight of our 10 day trip around the country, no question!! Thank you so much Michael.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Mike was an outstanding tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and the region. He was easy going and kind, and went above and beyond to make the tour memorable. It was nice to sit back and have someone else do the driving so we could take in the sights and get a history lesson at the same time. Especially when it’s raining! Driving ourselves wouldn’t have compared—learning the history along the way made every stop so much more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour. Ask for Mike!
