Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The highlight of this tour was the pony trap ride through the Gap of Dunloe. Driver and entertaining tour guide “Saint” Patrick and his lovely mare Dolly made the experience absolutely fantastic. The views cannot be beat, and seeing them as we were carried along in a traditional horse and cart with the knowledge shared by Patrick made it the most memorable experience of our visit to Ireland. The traditional open boat leg of the journey, across all the lakes and to the starting point for the jaunt through the Gap, was excellently piloted by Patsy, a veteran boatman with 60 years experience, despite horrific winds. I cannot say enough positive about this experience. Kudos to Patrick and Dolly and Patsy!
The scenery could not have been more beautiful. Patrick shared stories and information about the area. Enjoyed the boat ride through the lakes after. 5 of us agreed it was the perfect day
