Guided Tours from Dingle Town?
 
Anyone have experience in hiring a tour guide to take you off the beaten path around Dingle town? I've read that these folks can take you to parts of the peninsula (oftentimes on private property) to get close glimpses of castles, stone circles, dolmens, stone crosses, etc.

irishescaper,<BR><BR>There's a well-known company named Moran's that offers tours of the Dingle Peninsula, specifically Slea Head and the Conor Pass. While I can't speak to the off-the-beaten-path quality of these tours, you can learn more at www.dingle-peninsula-tours.com/<BR><BR>Best of luck.

irishescaper,<BR><BR>For something a bit less mainstream than my previous posting, consider touring with Sciuird Archaeological Adventures. This company offers two and one-half hour tours twice a day, leaving from Dingle Harbor. Given that the number of people per tour is kept to less than 10, you'll want to book your tour in advance.<BR><BR>While I don't have a contact number for Sciuird, I trust you can obtain it from Dingle Tourist Info. Office.<BR><BR>Best of luck.

Everyone: Thanks for the advice. One book I have listed 3 tour agents. I was just seeking info from anyone who may have taken one and how they enjoyed it.
