Donie was a great guide. He took us to places tourists don't go. Hidden gems. He also kept us from the tour buses and throngs of tourists.

My husband and I had a private tour with Darren of the Ring of Kerry and simply cannot say enough about how wonderful he was! He was professional and knowledgable, but also so much fun! He really made sure he made us feel comfortable and ensured we were having a great time! We highly recommend Darren for anyone who wants an individualized tour of the Ring of Kerry. Thank you, Darren!
3 couples hired Deros Tours for a private Ring of Kerry tour. Deros and driver Darren Mallon were amazing. Highly recommend.
Our guide Michael was a complete joy to work with. He was a safe, informative and personable tour guide. We had an excellent time either him driving the beautiful Ring of Kerry with Michael and getting to interact with him. We had family from Missouri, Tennessee, Nebraska and New York who were all impressed with the natural beauty of the Ring and with the welcoming nature of the people and our tour guide. Loved every minute of it!
Our driver Darren was absolutely terrific. Knowledgeable, courteous, entertaining. The entire experience was seamless - from booking online to pick up, touring and drop off. Could not recommend enough.
Danny was superb. He knew the area so well and avoided all the tourist traps and provided an amazing personalized experience. We took narrow backroads to avoid traffic, but also provided stunning views of the Dingle peninsula and Irish countryside.
What a tour! Thank you Darren for an exceptional time. We booked a private tour and wow, it did not disappoint! We were undecided if we would drive ourselves or book a tour and I’m so happy we decided to book the private tour and I got to sit back and relax. We decided on a tour of Inch Beach, Dingle and Slay Head. It is a beautiful part of Ireland. Darren was fantastic. He had so much knowledge of the area and kept us entertained the entire day even sharing stories or his time growing up in Northern Ireland. It was our first time booking a private tour and it definitely won’t be our last. Darren is the man to ask for if you want a private tour around Killarney. Thanks Darren for a great time!!
Booking a private tour with Deros is a must do in Killarney and make sure you ask for Darren. We decided on a private tour as we as had our two year old son with us and felt it was the right decision for our family. Darren couldn’t have been more accommodating and even had a car seat for our son. We chose to do a tour of Dingle, Inch Beach and Slay Head. The scenery was exceptional. Darren shared his wealth of knowledge with us as we drove around and took some fantastic family photos for us. He was so patient especially during the toddler meltdowns and never once rushed us. He has a great sense of humour and brought his own flare to the tour. Thank you Darren! We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to do another tour with you again on our next trip to Killarney.
Our driver danny Boy was wonderful- toured many off beaten trail places- He was humorous and caring owing to my disabilty
Danny O’Sullivan exceeded expectations from the start. He had a tremendous amount of knowledge. He was fun and lively, kind and caring. We had special circumstances, and Danny went above and beyond to accommodate us.
Danny Boy was our fantastic driver! He was great fun and informative and sooo nice! There were 4 of us and he drove us to Dingle! Beautiful drive! Love Dingle! Lots of stops for pictures and bathrooms! Lunch in Dingle! Katherine set the whole thing up for us last minute when our bus tour was canceled due to the bus breaking down! So glad we got to go to Dingle, so beautiful! Thank you so much Danny and Katherine! You saved the day for us! 🙏🤗🌅❤️🇮🇪☘️
Another amazing tour from Deros! This time we had Danny! He knew all the secret spots and let us really make the trip our own to see our special family locations along the way! Thanks for a wonderful day in Kerry!
My husband and I booked a private, customized Ring of Kerry Tour with Delos Tours because we wanted the flexibility to see a couple of the old Kerry forts, the Kerry Cliffs, the place where the first transAtlantic telegraph was sent in the 1840's and other sights/places that were not on the group tour. Our driver/guide Anne was perfect ("grand!") - personable and knowledgeable with great suggestions and local insights - and very flexible about our stops while also suggesting the best times to see things e.g. the sheepdog demonstration, to avoid crowds or traffic. The private car was very comfortable and because Anne was driving we could sit back and enjoy seeing the coastal views. We were picked up and returned to the place where we were staying.
When we were told we would be going off the beaten path on our Dingle Penninsula tour, Donny wasn't kidding. Great views and even better stories. Quite the character he is. Loved it! Thanks!
Great experience. Knew where to go to avoid most crowds, knowledgeable and professional. Worth the expense!!
We had a car and driver for 6 days in Ireland. Included Dingle, Slea Head, Kilkenny, Antrim Coast Road, Derry to Galway, Limerick. Best money we ever spent. Knowledgeable drivers so we got the "local" viewpoint, historical facts and sites in a friendly comfortable setting. Emerald Irish Tours let us set our own agenda but also made terrific suggestions - things we might have otherwise missed!!
Our tour of the Ring of Kerry was a lot of fun. We drove the whole loop in comfort and Derry provided us with colorful history and commentary about the towns on the ring. I'd recommend this tour just because I didn't have to drive the narrow, winding roads, but it was very enjoyable, too.
Michael picked us up in a clean Mercedes van that sat the 4 of us very comfortably. We toured the Ring of Kerry on a foggy and then rainy day, but the spirts were bright inside our warm van. Michael was engaging and knew the answers to all of our questions. He drove expertly and gave us excellent directions for dining at lunchtime. We highly recommend a day trip with Michael.
It was a beautiful day and Donney was a great tour guide. We explored all of Dingle and Sleigh Head Drive. So stunning. Kids enjoyed Donney’s humor and he was very patient with them. Thank you!!
We had a wonderful day with Brian. We did the Ring of Kerry with a few detours. Brian asked what our interests were and tailored our tour to our days. We had a complete day of sunshine, enhanced by Brian’s sunny disposition.
Ray was a fantastic tour guide and my friend and I really enjoyed the experience he provided. He proved himself truly knowledgeable about the area, culture, and history while also peppering in the right amount of humor. I would absolutely ride with Ray again.
We enjoyed the comfort and professionalism of the Deros tour. We loved our driver Ray. He was awesome and made the trip so enjoyable. His knowledge and humor made the day an absolute joy. Just some of the stops along the way.
We visited Ireland for two days with my elderly father so contacted the team at Deros to make a plan. My father has limited mobility so we opted for a private driver for both days. On the first day we toured the ring of Kerry. Our lovely driver Gerald gave us a running commentary of local sights and scenery and was more than happy for us to stop to take photographs or enjoy a pint of guinness. The scenes are absolutely breathtaking and should not be missed. On the second day we visited Kate Kearney's cottage, a trip my father has wanted to take since my daughter was born (her name is Kate Kearney). Gerald went above and beyond to ensure we had the best trip - he couldn't have been more accommodating. This was a special trip for our family - thanks for making it such a great one.
We took a private tour around the Ring of Kerry with Ann as our guide. She immediately felt like a long lost friend of our family as she took us to places where the tour busses don't go. She even cut some samples of local flowers for our family to enjoy. Amazing. Amazing. We also took the 7 mile hike through the Gap of Dunloe with Dero's, ending with a boat tour of the lakes in Killarney National Park. Dero's made all the logistics easy, so that our family could get on with enjoying the amazing beauty and each other.
Amazing guide /driver named Paddy always kind and looking out for our needs - very informative - quality hotels - breathtaking views
We had a wonderful day touring the Dingle Peninsula with Ray. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Ask for Ray - You won't be disappointed! Ellen, Mark and Karen
