Is a Ring of Kerry tour a little redundant after touring Killarney the day before?

Spending a first day in Killarney and doing jaunt tour, lake boat tour and Muckross house. Would a guided tour of the Ring the next day be redundant in the Killarney area and sites? And therefore just better to drive the rest of the Ring ourselves? (we're planning to drive Dingle the following day and eliminate some drive time). Or are there any guided tours that don't include Killarney where we could see just the rest of the ring? Probably not but wanted to check with this forum. Thanks!

If I had a full day to explore the Ring of Kerry and a car I always would do it on my own not in a bus

See places like Ard na Sidhe Country House on the Caragh Lake a bit away from RoK but signposted
and have a Afternoon Tea on the terrace by the Lake (good weather permit)

Drive the Skelligs Ring from Portmagee to Finians Bay and the Chocolate Factory and Ballinskelligs Beach

Go down to Derrynane House and the beach and do a short walk

Drive to Staigue Fort

All places (and there are more)you wont see on the normal bus tour from Killarney

You have either to do a private tour or drive on your own

When want to do a organized private daytour I can recommend Mary and Rays Walkwithme.ie in Killarney
