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

Overview of your Killarney tour
Leaving Killarney we climb the hill at Aghadoe to view the deep blue glacial lakes, with the green tree covered mountains behind before we head west through lush green farmland where cattle and sheep graze peacefully. Driving through Killorglin town you will hear a story of its 400 year old fair. Further along the landscape changes as we get our first sight of the rugged Atlantic coastline. As we drive I will tell you the history of the area and its people and teach you some words and phrases "as Gaeilge" in the Irish language. Rolling hills, secluded coves, ancient forts, long sandy beaches and an abundance of colour supplied by the many wild plants and flowers that thrive in the almost sub-tropical climate on the peninsula ensure that there is a feast for the eyes around every corner. Valentia Island, Skellig Ring and Kerry Cliffs are the highlight of most people's trip but with a vast array to choose from and lots of fun and laughter along the way everybody takes away treasured memories of their tour wit
