Itinerary

You came here for an adventure and there's no greater feeling of adventure than coasting alongside a wild Irish landscape off to Rabbie's-knows-where. Leaving Killarney Town, we start our journey along the famous Ring of Kerry, Ireland's famous coastal route. We'll stop for photos along the way where we can - if we had our way, we'd stop every two metres! 

Keep some space on your camera for our first stop of the day. The Cahergall Stone Forts are old. Very old. Built back in 600AD kind of old. And you've got some time here to explore these medieval stone wonders.  

The quest continues, taking us to the tiny fishing village of Portmagee where you have time to explore and grab a bite to eat. Or you could skip all that and head straight to Portmagee Whiskey, because some things take priority.  

And because we pride ourselves on taking you somewhere a little less explored, it's time to coast along the Skellig Ring. This incredible 18km stretch of road is an extension of the Ring of Kerry, and often overlooked... we're not sure why. Get ready for wild views of raw beauty, everything that makes Ireland unfathomable. The best part? Big coaches can't take the road, yet another reason we love our small mini-buses as a way to explore off-the-beaten-track.

We'll make a few stops along this route - perhaps a quick stop into the Skellig Chocolate Factory? The views of St Finans Bay? We'll keep it flexible, because who knows what the day will bring.

By now your camera might be a tad exhausted... but just a few moments longer, trust us. As we head for our next big destination, we'll pop in at a few more stunning viewpoints before reaching Torc Waterfall

A stunning place to be sure. A 20 metre high waterfall cascading from above, roaring into existence all the way from the Devil's Punchbowl lake. 

But it's the mythology surrounding this waterfall we love the most. 'Torc' translates to Boar and there's a legend that involves a local man, a curse, and the Devil. But we don't want to give away all of its secrets now - that's what the tour is for.  

If we manage to avoid being cursed by the Devil, we'll depart Torc and journey back to Killarney Town. Worry not that the tour is over, you've got some killer memories as souvenirs.

  • FAQs:
    Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
    - The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
    Is there parking close to the departure point?
    - We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
    When should I get to the departure point?
    - Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
    What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
    - If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
    Can Itineraries change?
    - Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
    Can I pre-book a specific seat?
    - Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
    Are there toilets on the bus?
    - Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
    How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
    - We aim to accommodate everyone.
    How much time do I get off the bus?
    - We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
    Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
    - We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
    Do we need to bring our own lunch?
    - You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
    Should I tip the driver-guide?
    - Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
    What about travel insurance?
    - We advise you take out travel insurance.
    What is ABTOT?
    - You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
