Guides were lovely, history and nature in the area were explained in a way that was interesting. The boat setup was great as well, would recommend to anyone visiting tbe area. minor thing about the get your guide part as the tour itself was perfect, being asked to download a separate app for the tickets was annoying as they could’ve just been included in the email.

A very enjoyable trip overall but there were some young children on board running around and climbing up on the windows making it difficult to see what was pointed out by the guide and another child screaming most of the time. I went with my husband and parents no option for that below

Our group went on tour to Killarney and the most memorable part of the tour was the trip on the boat to see the lakes. They really enjoyed it and they had nothing but praise for the guide. We would really recommend going on the boat and they looking forward to going again next year. Our group were senior citizens who were going on their annual tour and they would highly recommend it.
