Failte. . . . . (Welcome). My name is Denis and I am from Killarney, where I have lived and worked for most of my life. Having worked in hospitality for many years, I decided to set up my own Taxi/Taxi Tours business in 2001, which I have run successfully ever since. I lived in the U. K. for 8 years working and studying in London where I completed a part-time degree course in Business Management & HR at Hammersmith & West London College. I volunteer with the Irish Red Cross as a driver and Emergency First Responder (EFR) and assist in providing medical cover for many sporting, social and cultural events. In my youth, I was very active in sports and played gaelic football, soccer and basketball as well as competing in Athletics in both track and field events. I now enjoy playing golf and am a keen sports fan with an interest in most sports. I also enjoy walking and rambling in the hills and love spending time by the ocean. With over 20 years experience of touring, and many more in the hospitality sector, all my tours are designed and delivered based on what works well for people and on the feedback I get from my clients, as to what they have enjoyed most. Of course, each tour can be tailored to suit your individual requirements and preferences. Your tour is exactly that, YOUR tour and is unique to you. I am there to facilitate and enhance your experience and make it as enjoyable and as pleasurable as possible for your group. Below I have included some of the most popular tours people ask me for, ", Ring of Kerry" Dingle and Slea Head, Cliffs of Moher and Killarney Valley local tour, but the list is almost endless, all kinds of tours can be arranged and delivered by a quick, or not so quick, chat. . . . . . all you need to do is get in touch, tell me what you want and we can build a tour to suit your requirements. LET MY EXPERIENCE ENHANCE YOURS. 20 years guiding experience Full Driver licence, held with 40 years SPSV Driver Licence (Public Service Driver Licence) held with 21 years SPSV Licence (Public Service Vehicle Licence) held with 21 years Full SPSV Insurance for vehicle and driver Emergency First Responder (EFR) with Irish Red Cross

Tour full of incredible history and amazing Ireland scenery to match
Overview of your Killarney tour
Come with me on this wonderful trip, to see one of the most untouched and historically intact regions in Ireland. Located on the southwest coast and preserved in great part by its remoteness and rugged, inhospitable landscape. From the gentle rolling patchwork quilt fields speckled white with sheep leisurely grazing, to the jagged rocky, wave hewn coastline that defines the area. Along the way I will tell you of the exploits of Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, a native of the area. I will teach you words and phrases in the Irish language and we will visit some of the ancient sites and monuments for which the area is renowned, all whilst enjoying the incredible seascapes it has to offer. I will also tell you of the centuries old ties the region has with areas of Northern Spain. We will also visit the place where St. Brendan is said to have set sail from, on his voyage to the new world in 512A. D. and I will share with you some stories of his exploits. Join with me for a fun and fulfilling day.

We had an amazing time with Dennis on the Dingle Peninsula Tour! He was so knowledgeable and informative of the history of the area. His tour allowed us to soak up the sights during the tour without the distraction of driving. He knew all kinds of hidden gems to visit and quiet spots to stop at. We can’t thank Dennis enough for a wonderful tour!
