Dingle Peninsula Day Tour vanuit Limerick: inclusief The Wild Altanic Way

We actually did the Dingle tour on 5 April 2025, Michael is an amazing bus/ tour driver. He was able to give us a background of the different landmarks or places that we are passing by. The dingle tour is pretty amazing, we really had a great time and we loved the experience from the killarney carriage tour (it's a mustry for a discounted price coz you'll just be on the bus waiting if you're not gonna try) and another amazing experience is baby lamb experience. Also if you want a good restaurant experience, wherein you don't have to wait to be seated and enjoy good food, ask your tour operator for recommendations. Michael is very good to recommend Harrington's/ John's Bennys. Food is amazing ???? Additionally, for someone who is used to the other paddywagon tours. You may find it confusing to go to the meeting point. It would be better if there would be signages for the meeting up point. I know there is pin on the app so better check it ahead. The driver usually arrives 10 minutes before the tour which is reasonable as he may still need to get the bus for the tour himself. So just to let you know, do not panic as I did and ended up into another meeting point and got left behind. Just wait in the park, you don't have to be too early. We were waiting there for 30 minutes or more, being 15-20 minutes early is fine I guess. Anyways, I am so thankful for the experience. Thank you to Nicolleta for rebooking our trip.

It was wonderful seeing these sites. Breathtaking! Would have liked to spend more time in Dingle, a bathroom break on the ride home, & have a tour guide/driver who communicates what is happening on the tour(his name, the itinerary, what’s happening next, explain sites better, next bathroom break). Plus, driver was texting while driving. That’s a no for me.

The bus arrived at 8:02 to pick us up. We were supposed to leave at 8. The driver did not get out of the bus to greet us or give us instructions. We climbed a board and started our journey. After about 10 min he asked if everyone would be ok with doing Killarney National Park. My party of 3 said no as well as 2 other people. When we got to Killarney he stopped and said everyone who signed up for the carriage please hop out. Everyone was confused and the people who wanted to see the park didn’t know they were signed up to do that paying an additional 60 euro per person. He kept saying I booked 8 so 8 people have to go. We stayed on the bus and eventually got to the bus station by the outlet mall. He said to be back by 10:55 which was shorter than the allotted time on the itinerary. We were waiting with the other people on our tour but he was not there. At 11 he finally showed up on his bike. We then stopped to pick up the people who did the carriage people where we waited an additional 10 minutes for people to go to the bathroom. We had just taken another paddywagon tour and our driver did not wait for anyone which they shouldn’t because they are cutting into our time now. Then we proceeded to pick people up at a local bus station where we sat for additional time. Finally after 25 min since the time we were told we were going to leave we left. When we left Killarney, he made an announcement about being here in time which was a joke because he hadn’t been on time once. Arrived at Inch beach and had 20 min instead of 30. Got to Dingle where we were told we would stop and eat but continued on about 20 min to see baby sheep. I think that is great but it was not part of the itinerary. Spent extra money that was not even listed in the itinerary. If a tour leaves at 8 there should be time to eat. Before 2:30. This should be stated in the purchase. We were in Killarney for way too short of a time to eat. We couldn’t eat on the bus so we wouldn’t have been able to get something to go. We all were absolutely starving by the time we got to Dingle. Although dingle was a great place to see there wasn’t enough time to see much because we had to eat. More explicit information when signing up would have been helpful so we knew when we would be eating and how little time we would have to actually explore. The WiFi never worked on board. Not once. Overall we saw some great sights, but the additional time waiting for people, picking additional people up and then dropping them back off really cut into the time we had. If you want to see some sights you should sign up, but you should pack a lunch, bring snacks, bring water, and plan to be frustrated with a tour guide who you could hardly understand- he was not from Ireland- and it seems like he added additional items for people to pay for so he could get a cut which is just wrong. I was very disappointed in this tour. We did love the one we did the other day, but this was such a different experience.
