Piotr was very friendly and knowledgeable of the areas. It was a great tour. I highly recommend it.
Our day on the Dingle Peninsula with Kris was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we set off, it was clear how much care he puts into every part of the experience. His vehicle was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, and he made sure we always had water and everything we needed throughout the day. What really sets Kris apart is the way he looks after his guests. He pays close attention to comfort, pace, and individual needs, and he genuinely wants everyone to enjoy the day to the fullest. Whether it was choosing the perfect viewpoints, adjusting the route to suit us, or offering thoughtful little touches along the way, he made the entire tour feel effortless and personal. The Dingle Peninsula is breathtaking, but exploring it with someone who truly cares about your experience makes it unforgettable. Kris’s kindness, flexibility, and dedication to his guests shine through in every moment. I couldn’t recommend his private tour more highly.
My grandson, his wife and daughter, and my daughter and I went on the tour with Kris. Actually we took two tours. He picked us up at our air B&B and dropped us off as well. I never expected to see so much of the northern part of Ireland, and we were enchanted. I do not know all the names of the places we went, but of the two week visit to England and Ireland, our two days with Kris's tours were the very best. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy our lunches and to shop.
Fantastic tour and guide. Kris was a great guide who who was able to make the most of our time based on our interests . Highly recommend this tour.
I was traveling with my 8 year old son. Booking with Kris completely took all the stress away from driving. We booked with Kris for a tour of the Dingle Peninsula and we also booked a separate tour for the Ring of Kerry. I highly recommend booking with Kris as opposed to either driving yourself or going on a big coach bus, it is worth it. Kris has great communication and has an excellent van for a small group! Do yourself a favor and just book with Kris.
Amazing day of beautiful sights, a little fishing, and lots of great memories and photos. Our driver, Kris, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and had some great recommendations for my wife and I all day- whether it was lunch, an off the path must see’s or incredible photo spots. He graciously stopped for me to grab a coffee mid afternoon. I would highly recommend him and if we come back to visit Ireland, we hope he will still be doing tours.
We had an excellent guide/driver in Kris. He told us lots of history of the area, gave us good information about every site on the Dingle Peninsula that were available to visit in the day so that we could decide which to stop and visit and which to pass by. We had as much time as we wanted at each site, he never rushed us. We had more than a full day, beginning at 9:00 a.m. at our hotel and ending about 7:00 p.m. at our hotel. We even had time for a leisurely drink at a friendly sidewalk cafe in Dingle before returning to our hotel.
Our guide/driver, Kris, was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. This was an all-day private tour of the Dingle Peninsula. Kris told us about every possible site as we drove along, so that we could decide what we wanted to stop for and what to pass by. He never rushed us, was extremely courteous and friendly, and gave us a very full day of excellent sight-seeing. I have no complaints, only high regard.
Our driver Peter made our day so special and accommodated are needs . We saw all the beautiful places in Dingle and would definitely do it again!!
Seamlessly organized, totally flexible and expert BMW driver delivered to my 20 year old daughter and I an amazing time. Kris is a photographer also and knew every vista, nook and cranny along the Irish Southwestern Shoreline including Dingle and environs surrounding. Don’t ride a bus with a million tourons and instead, have your magic carpet ride for a trip of a life time!
He said it was our day and to take as much time visiting the stops in the Slea Head tour as we needed. One stop was close to an hour (my choice to do a little hiking). Our 5-6 hour tour lasted 7. His car, a BMW, was clean, roomy and comfortable.
Kris made a breathtaking journey all the more enjoyable. While he knows all the best spots to experience views, history and fun - he makes the trip personal to you, what matters to you most. Don't let the weather deter you, regardless of what Mother Nature has in store for you, this will be a highlight of your trip to the Emerald Aisle. Besides an outstanding day of sightseeing and adventure, great suggestions were made for dinner and music for later in the evening that were also outstanding.
Chris was great, made us feel like masters of our tour. We will finally have photos of us together that aren't selfies! Very relaxing day
Private Full-Day Dingle Peninsula Slea Head Drive Photo Tour it's absolutely fabulous experience. The photographer Kris it's the most helpful and friendly person. We absolutely loved the day. The weather was so good and we were able to take lovely pictures. If you ever came to Killarney book this trip, you wouldn't be disappointed . Thank you Kris, you are great!!
We had a fantastic time during our trip to Ireland! We booked the "Photo Private tour of Dingle Peninsula". Our photographer Kris took us from Killarney in his car and drove around the peninsula. We got to see some amazing views, and he told us a lot of historical facts + some legends about the places! He also took a lot of photos during our sightseeing, that we received access to later. Any time we look at them, it feels like we are back in Ireland! We highly recommend the tour; as you're not only driven around, but also guided and photographed. Hope to come back soon for another trip, thanks Kris - see you next time!
