Hi…I'm John, an adventure guide of Ireland and owner of my own tour business in Ireland, I'm happy to welcome you to my site, my adventure and my country. I'm sure your tour here in Ireland will be one of your greatest holidays too. I started working as a tour guide here in Ireland as a result of the many tours and adventure activities I have completed abroad and here at home in Ireland. Having hiked solo and in groups throughout Sardinia, Italy, India, Australia, Ethiopia and Ireland and having cycled and hiked throughout Kerry, I decided to open my tour business here in Ireland to suit you. I want my tours to be about you and what your dream adventure of Ireland should be. I take only small groups with a maximum of 7 people in my super comfortable limo minbus. Let me entertain you with the unique history and mythology of southwest Ireland, it really is a wonderful county to visit. I intend to meet all your expectations of what a private tailor made tour should be… with a mixture of bikes, hikes kayaking horse riding and other adventures all done in spectacular settings and in comfort…I have learned from talking to the many tourists we get here, that what they really want is to get away from the mainstream tour buses and to meet the locals, to explore ancient and significant places and to do this all at their leisure , so on my tours here in Ireland you'll enjoy exploring off the beaten path. You'll get to have the craic with the locals, have picnic lunches on hillsides, beaches and mountains and I'll personally be your guide to some of Kerry's and Ireland's greatest places like skellig Michael, the lakes of killarney and Mt Carrontuohill. I am originally from Kerry, born and bred and am now based in Kerry and therefore I like to pride myself in being able to showcase my beautiful county, known as the kingdom as no others can…. as a local. Kerry has it all in terms of scenery, the longest beaches, the highest mountains and the tidiest towns and as we say in Kerry there are only two Kingdoms…the kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Kerry. . There is so much to do in Kerry besides cycling and hiking from boating with dolphins to surfing lessons, from kayaking with seals to refreshing seaweed baths. You will enjoy the seafood and the pints in Sibin styled pubs , the genuine warmth and humor of the local people. I will be delighted to help you in any way I can on your tour and I most definitely will tailor every tour to suit your needs, whether you are travelling alone or as a couple or larger groups I can help with all your queries at any time. On every tour that I display here on ToursByLocals I want to reaffirm that they can be adjusted to suit your times and needs as I know from experience every one has different requirements OK Take care and God bless Looking forward to hearing from you Certified Limousine Driver SPSV certified World Traveller Engineering diploma ( Civil Engineering) English TEfL Teacher No Restrictions

John is an incredibly personable tour guide, he's very friendly and a wonderful conversationalist. The tour is fantastic, a great way to see and experience the Ring of Kerry. We feel like we learned a lot about the country, the county, and the many towns along the Ring. Highly recommend John and his tour!
We have had tours on different vacations and we have never had any guide as good as John. He absolutely outdid himself and everyone had a great time!
I would highly recommend John as a tour guide. We loved every aspect of this tour, John made the whole thing more enjoyable. We had a party of six and everyone agreed that we couldn't have asked for a better guide. John is very knowledgeable of the entire area and the history. He was a lot of fun and he had some great stories. We will return to Ireland and we will make sure to spend time with John.
-We start the day at 9. 00 a. m or earlier if requested, we leave Killarney and head to Killorglin, home to the Puck Fair, Ireland's oldest festival with official records dating back to the early 17th century. -Leaving Killorglin at around 10. 00am the scenery ramps up as you head towards Glenbeigh, a peaceful village that basks in beauty thanks to the vast sands of Rossbeigh Strand, as well as the surrounding hills and mountains. -Take a walk on the beach or a swim or simply sit and watch the light play over the landscapes - it's really something special. -We continue on to Portmagee and take in the skellig experience, home of star wars fanatics and the monks of skellig Michael. Also a good time for lunch. -Then on towards Waterville and Caherdaniel, home of Daniel O Connell -here we can visit his house. -Kenmare: a great town to get out and stretch and maybe some shopping we return in Killarney around 5, 30 pm.
