On My Way To Dingle Tommorrow-help with guides

Posted by (Atlanta, GA, USA) on

I am in Galway and have had the very best time after 5 nights at the wonderful Petra House B&B. Now on my way via a long bus route tomorrow to Dingle for another 5 nights. I have Tim Collins booked for Sept 1st for his Sciuird Archaeological Tour and I will go to the TI office on Quay St when I get in. I am staying at the Pax house.
I have emailed with John at Coastland tours waiting to see if anyone else is signed up and also Denis Ryan. I am traveling by myself so Denis needs more than one for me to make it affordable.
If I can't get them, I was planning on going to the Blasket Islands or maybe take the summer bus to Killarney to spend the day. I have seen the ROK and Muckross house but that has been over 10 years ago.
Any suggestions within Dingle?

Thank you and I will be in the pubs enjoying the evening music. Your help is so appreciated.

The group at Historic Dingle Walking Tours are all excellent. If you google Tour Guides Dingle Ireland, the Tour Guides Dingle Ireland/Facebook entry gives you good options with the first two listed- HDWT and the tour guide Gillian on Green Street. They may be able to help you out. We loved Tim Collins.

Concerts at Siopa Ceoil on Tues, Thurs. & Sat. are fun and the ones at St. James Church on Mon., Wed., & Fri. are really special. You get tix for the church at Siopa Ceoil and they sell out.

Thank you Patty. I am now set up with Tim Collins and his wife Eileen is lovely. Then I have a Celtic 4 hour hike with Kevin and then today with John from Coastline tours. Tim as you know covers the Archaelogical aspects of the Penisula and John from Coastline will offer his own twist. So looking forward to Kevin as I have read amazing reviews about his hikes. So thank you and now for a few days of sun or moments! The Pax house views are incredible but so is the walk up the hill at night in my safety vest!!

If you don't mind a decent hike, the hike up to Eask tower that Rick mentions is breathtaking. Highlight of our entire trip. The views of Dingle bay on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. Fun walking past the sheep as you go up. Also, the Slea head drive around the peninsula is some of the prettiest scenery I have seen.
