Mary G Tours is an independent tour operator that offers private, guided experiences across Ireland’s southwest coast.
The company provides a range of customizable private car tours and a two‑day itinerary, covering the Beara Peninsula, Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head Drive, the Ring of Kerry (including an off‑the‑beaten‑path luxury option), the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, Killarney National Park, Gougan Barra and Glengarriff, and shore excursions from Glengarriff to Killarney.
Tours are led by local, experienced guides who navigate scenic narrow roads and deliver historical context, local stories, and practical logistics for day trips and longer excursions.
Typical offerings include 4‑hour and 8‑hour private tours as well as a two‑day Ring of Kerry and Dingle tour; itineraries are tailored to guest interests and can focus on landscapes, castles, wildlife, gardens, or cultural sites.
Vehicles used are private cars suited to small groups, enabling access to viewpoints and roads that are often inaccessible to large coaches. Mary G Tours includes practical touches such as complimentary bottled water on certain Killarney itineraries and shore‑excursion timing for cruise passengers.
For travelers seeking personalized, locally informed access to Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way highlights, Mary G Tours offers guided routes, photographic stops, and historically minded commentary to create focused, memorable small‑group touring experiences.
