★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,085 reviews · from $114Top rated

“Great tour, amazing views and sights! Simon H was an excellent guide, friendly, good storyteller and safe driver. It’s a long day but doesn’t feel too long with the frequent stops. The timing was a bit off at the end of the tour (the stop at Loch Ard and for supper afterwards were a bit rushed) but otherwise a well planned day. I give 4 stars rather than 5 because of the lack of leg room space on the bus, quite uncomfortable for someone 6’4” like me. Great tour otherwise.”
