    was a very good tour, both your guides Paul and Don were very helpful and guided through the national park and lake tours giving interesting and useful insights into the areas! Jimmy (horse) was also very calm and took us leisurely through the national park where we got to see some of the deer that resides there.

    Would highly recommend doing this trip. Kids loved the horse and cart and the driver was lovely who knew the local history and welcomed any questions. The boat trip was fantastic also. It was such a lovely way to learn some history and view the scenery. Would recommend to anyone visiting Killarney

    Hi I missed the 3.15 boat (too busy enjoying an ice cream) and Laura very kindly rescheduled it for me the next morning at 10.30. The boat ride was fabulous, comfortable and very relaxing. The boat driver was very informative and I felt a real sense of pride of place from him. We were fortunate to see the eagles fairly closely, they are so magical to see in flight and the driver did his best to make sure we would see them
