We had a lovely 1 hour+ jaunting car tour to Ross Castle and back. James, our driver, was extremely nice and gracious. And the tour was great for my mom who joined us (in her 80s), allowing her to see parts of the park without the hike. Highly recommended to all.

Mike was a brilliant character, with a wealth of knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble to him. Even gave recommendations on food and places to stay

We had a great time on our jaunting car tour. Definitely give this a try if you are traveling with young kids. We covered a lot of ground that we could not have done on foot (or by bike). This was a lovely way to start our morning in Killarney before we started out by car for the coast.

Our driver was on time, kind, and friendly.

Our daughter loved the experience, and the 10-15 minute stop at Ross Castle was plenty. (Because there are A LOT of castles in Ireland.)

The driver’s (unfortunately I didn’t get his name) was very informative about everywhere we passed. He had a couple of cods* in his bag** as well, which my children enjoyed.

For American or other non-Irish readers.
*lies which are also jokes.
** Metaphorical rather than literal.

Mike was VERY kind and welcomed us to Killarney. We enjoyed the tour and the beautiful scenery of the national park as a perfect intro to the city and its views.

We had such a great time with our guide John and his horse Samson! He was very friendly and informative! He even told us a cheeky joke about the fallen tree in the park along the way ;) We had a delightful ride and then a stop at Ross Castle. John was very knowledgeable and greeted passersby as well. His recommendation for dinner at Tattler Jack's was spot on as well! We highly recommend taking this company's tour! It was so nice for me to relax and enjoy the views four once as I was the driver for all of our trip.

My daughter and I had the most beautiful experience with the horse carriage ride and the afternoon tea at the Great Killarney Hotel after that. Our charriottier Owen was a local from Killarney, super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the area and buildings. He took us through the park and we got to see so many deer that were in the creek drinking water. The drive though the national park was breathtaking. We had 15 minute stop at the Ross castle and that was a beautiful experience on its own. When we got back to the hotel, the tea table was all set up for us, such an exquisite experience. I wish we had something like that in the US. Besides the amazing teas, jams, jellies and Guiness stout bread, we were served mimosas and then, oh my goodness, each one of us was given this most beautiful three-tier arrangement with tea sandwiches, pastries, scones, desserts and fresh fruit. The most beautiful exquisite arrangement and super delicious. Our hostess was so sweet and attentive. I am truly grateful for this whole experience.

We had the best Jaunting driver! Cal was filled with knowledge about the park and Ireland! He made the already magical experience that much better! Even sent us off with a Gaelic blessing!
