I had another tour guide booked for the drive from Galway to Dublin, with some sightseeing along the way. The other guide had to cancel with about 48 hours' notice, but luckily for me, Gerard was available and was able to step in. The stop at Clonmacnoise was one of my favorites!

I can’t stress enough how pleasant of a trip this was with Gerard. My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon in Dublin and Killarney and we took a trip with Gerard. We originally had the Ring of Kerry, but due to the late season he recommended a hybrid Killarney National Park/Dingle mix trip, as a lot of places are closed in the off-season. We accepted the recommendation and were in no way disappointed. The beautiful sights, the conversation, and the music set the mood, and the weather was perfect for the trip. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day with my wife, and I will make sure to tour with Gerard on any return visit to Ireland that we have. There isn’t a way to give it more than 5 stars, so I’ll stick with that. If you want a trip of a lifetime, call Killarney Guided Tours and enjoy the experience. Also, be prepared to learn a LOT about the region, and meet one of the most kind and knowledgeable people on the island. Wonderful time, thank you Gerard!

We had the best day on the Ring of Kerry with Gerard. He’s personable and fun, knows everything there is to know about the area and had all kinds of good advice for us including where to get the best Irish Coffee at 10:30am.😁 He gave us lots of time to wander on our own, recommended a great lunch stop at the Waterville golf course and somehow even managed to arrange beautiful fall weather for us! Very highly recommended.

Oh boy!! First trip to Ireland, and we were fortunate to choose Gerard Scott as our 1-day guide for Ring of Kerry. What a professional and engaging person he is! I do not think we would have learned nearly as much as we did about the history and culture of this part of Ireland without learning from Mr. Scott. Made for a great day, and plenty of food for thought in the days after.

My family and I spent 3 wonderful days touring with Gerard Scott. We were based out of Killarney and Gerard picked us up each day promptly at 9:30. Day 1 we toured the Dingle Peninsula. Day 2 was Killarney National Park and Day 3 was the Wild Atlantic Way to Kinsale. Superb tour! Gerard is knowledgeable, friendly and very enthusiastic about Southwest Ireland's history and natural beauty. Will definitely recommend Gerard to anyone looking to visit Ireland.

This was our second time in Ireland to have Gerard guide us around the Emerald Isle. If we are fortunate enough to return we will definitely spend our time with Gerard. He is knowledgeable, accommodating and very pleasant to be with. All reviews rate Gerard as excellent and nothing more needs to be said. Look forward to future visits with Gerard as our guide.

Back in the USA fondly recalling our recent trip, I must let you know that our tour with Lorraine remains a highlight. She was fabulous! In addition to being the greatest guide, she engaged on any topic that came up, Ireland related or not. We all said over and over how lucky we were to have such a talented person to show us the ropes.

Gerard goes well above and beyond anything you could expect from a tour operator. They say that you get what you pay for. With Gerard you get much more than you pay for! His knowledge of Irish history combined with his local knowledge and obvious love of his country, make for a wonderful experience! He went well out of his way to go to the spot where my Grandmother was raised, did it with at best , sketchy directions and did it all with a smile. I cannot recommend him highly enough! When I do go back for a golf tour, I know exactly who I will call!!

The private three day tour with Gerard was terrific. Highly recommend taking a private tour. Gerald and his colleague Paddy were very knowledgable and took us to places we would never have gone to on our own. It was also great that we did not have to drive, particularly on the narrow roads. We made our own schedule so we did not feel rushed and were able to take in all of the beauty at our leisure. Overall a great experience and the best way to see the Ring of Kerry, Dingle and the Cliffs of Moher.

My husband, son and I did a day tour around the Dingle Peninsula with Gerard Scott, and it was the highlight of our time in Ireland! Gerard met us in the morning at our hotel in Killarney. He’s cheerful and easy going, and we felt comfortable with him immediately. We began with a stop at Inch Beach, and then continued our drive throughout the peninsula with many more brilliant stops and sites. He kept us entertained with stories about the area and its history, and the coastal views were breathtaking. We had a lovely lunch on the coast and a chance to do a bit of shopping too. We capped off the day with stops at Ross Castle and the Killarney House and Gardens. We were fortunate to have a beautiful, sunny day but I think we would have had a wonderful time even if it had been raining. Thank you, Gerard, for the fantastic day and memories!

Gerard Scott was an awesome tour guide. He was very familiar with The Killarney area. We spent 2 full days visiting lots of very special and scenic spots in and around The Ring of Kerry and beyond. I highly recommend Gerard for anyone interested in seeing and learning about this beautiful country.

My husband and I were very fortunate to experience a luxury tour in Ireland with Gerard Scott, the best guide and driver one could hope for! He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the country: its history, music, culture, and has a wonderfully fun and cheerful personality!! Gerard first met us in Kilkenny, drove us to the Waterford Crystal Showroom, then to the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, the picturesque town of Kinsale, where we enjoyed some amazingly fresh seafood. He drove us then to his hometown of Killarney and secured tickets for us to see the "Celtic Steps" show which we enjoyed immensely! During our stay at the fabulous Lake Hotel, we toured the Muckross House, Ross Castle, the Torc Waterfalls and walked stunningly scenic trails in Killarney National Park. Following lunch and shopping in Kenmare in the Beara region, a memorable stop on the way to Dingle the sandy Inch Beach. Our overnight stay at Heaton's Guest House was great with it's lovely views of Dingle Bay. Jaw dropping views were also experienced at the panoramic scenes of Slea Head as we continued our journey which culminated that day with an opulent afternoon tea at the most elegant Adare Manor in Limerick. Our stay at Sheedy's B&B was excellent example of true Irish hospitality in Doolin where we enjoyed traditional music and great meals at local pubs. The visit to the Perfumery and the Hazel Mountain Chocolate were delightful stops at the Burren, County Clare. Ballynahinch Castle Hotel in the Connemara region was a most impressive setting! Visited the stunning Kylemore Abbey, and the Killary Fjord where we witnessed a demonstration of sheep herding, held baby lambs and actually helped with the shearing! On the way up to Donegal, stopped at Glencar Alpaca Farm, walked with animals as we took in the amazing lake views. Lough Eske Castle Hotel in Donegal was lovely. 30 minutes south of Donegal, Gerard brought us to the Belleek Pottery showroom, the edge of Northern Ireland, where we did some shopping! Our last accommodation was the most impressive and luxurious Ashford Castle in Cong, county Mayo! Had a fun morning walk with the Irish wolfhounds and their trainer, and enjoyed the scenic boat cruise on Lake Corrib. "The Quiet Man" movie sites and memorabilia in the Cong Village was fun to see!! Epic tour! Brilliant itinerary!! All went well smoothly and the weather cooperated beautifully. Thank you Gerard for the wonderful journey and memories of Ireland! We will cherish it all!

We have been touring exclusively with Killarney Guided Tours for more than a decade and no matter how many times we come to Ireland, we will never choose to tour with anyone else. First class itineraries, vehicles and guides each and every time without fail. We toured a bit of the West coast this trip, choosing to cover less miles but locations more in depth. Great recommendation by Gerard! We are already planning our next visit.

If we could have made a "wish list of qualities" to conjure up the perfect tour guide for our day around the Ring of Kerry, with a focus on family heritage sites, we would have fallen short of what we actually found in Gerard. He superceded all of our expectations! He is kind, professional, knowledgeable, amiable, and he has a great singing voice on top of it all! He really listened, and tailored the drive to our interests. (To think that I might have missed Kerry Woolen Mills without his guidance makes me want to cry; it was heaven for a knitter!) Instead of a pre-scripted, strictly-scheduled excursion, we had the freedom of wander joyfully, stop for photos of a foal in the blooming flowers, skip ahead where needed. It felt like we were all working together to craft a perfect family history + sites of Kerry day. He left us just the right amount of privacy to wander a meaningful cemetary, and pointed us enthusiastically to places that held emotional value to us, as well as to the standard tourism sites we shouldn't miss, taking photos, and just in general being easy company. The music fit the emotional tenor of the drive and he gave a wealth of information in casual conversation. In planning our trip we chose to allocate a larger piece of the travel budget to hiring a private driver in Kerry, and Stephanie at "Infinite Ireland" recommended Gerard. In looking back at the trip, our time with him was a true highlight and absolutely worth it. We will be back someday for the full "Wild Atlantic Way" - a tour with him is worth its own trip to Ireland!

Our day trip with Girard was unexpectedly and wonderfully filled with gorgeous views, special little experiences, laughs and wows! that we're still integrating. Girard more than knows his territory, gave us terrific travel advice and made the investment of time and money completely worthwhile. We're still integrating all we took in with him. Thank you, Girard, for your remarkable flexibility and experience -- not to mention the comfort!
