Cần Quan Tâm
Meet your guide at 11am outside O'Sheas Funeral Home opposite St. Marys Cathedral for a two hour walk of Killarney National Park. This can be extended to a longer walk if desired. The cathedral was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin who came over to Killarney from London, and building commenced in 1842. During the great famine the unfinished building was used as a shelter for starving people who came in from the countryside. The lovely thatched cottage Deenagh Lodge which once served as a gate lodge is now a popular tea rooms during the summer months. Queen Victoria was a visitor to this area back in 1861 arriving in Killarney by train, a new age travel as the railway first opened in Killarney in 1853. Sika deer were introduced to the area from Wicklow in 1865, and there is now a good number of them. The native red deer are a bigger attraction they came close to extinction but thankfully there now is a good size herd in the National Park. The year 1969 was an exciting one as Charles De Gaulle spent nearly two weeks in a cottage nearby with a big security presence. The film Ryans Daughter was filmed in Dingle, but the love scene was done in the National Park. Not surprising as the scenery speaks for itself. All the local guides have a great love of their home place, so you can be guaranteed an informative tour.

5.00Richard was awesome! Such a kind and entertaining guy. Even though the weather was super rainy, he led me through the park and went to a lot of cool places. He was super knowledgeable about everything. Even afterwards, he took me to a GAA game and snuck me in so I was able to watch a few minutes! 110% recommend to anyone visiting Killarney.

5.00Richard is a fantastic guide and walking companion, with a wealth of knowledge about the park, and local history of the town and its people. If you want an insight into Killarney I couldn't recommend this walk enough.

5.00This was a great way to explore the national park! The walk was relatively leisurely with only a few minor hills. Most was paved, but we did explore off the path a little. Our guide was born and raised in the area and the park was where he used to frequent as a child and all through this adulthood. We learned about the history and got to see some unique sites we would have missed on our own. We also enjoy the wildlife! We saw many deer and a type of cow that almost went extinct until being brought to the national park. One of the deer even almost came right up to us. It was just the right about of time but we loved seeing the beautiful sights from a trusted local!
You don't need a guide ....

3.00You don't need a guide . You can walk the park without one. Saw a few cows but no deer. Very little communication along the way. Very pleasant guide.
Extremely Knowledgeable Guide in Stunning Killarney National Park

5.00Richard was a wonderful guide -- knowledgeable, humorous, and kind. We asked endless questions about the flora in Killarney National Park, and he patiently answered each one and gave us even more information than we knew to ask for! Our walk was blissful quietude, and we'll carry memories of fairies and Ireland with us always.
Beautiful views with an informative guide

5.00We loved our walk through the National Park with Richard. We were the only ones who booked the tour, so we were able to ask questions and learn about the history of the park/Killarney. Richard was a very capable guide who knew his way around the land. We were able to see stunning vistas and tons of red deer! I was sad to learn that the dog mentioned in some of the earlier reviews of this business has passed away, but the three humans did well on our own.
