We spent the day on a private tour of the Beara Peninsula. Our tour guide Peter Stanley went above and beyond to be helpful. He was very cordial and knowledgeable about this region. The day included a nature reserve, picturesque towns, beautiful lakes, the magnificent Healy Pass, rugged mountain terrain, short hikes, a stone circle and herds of blue dotted sheep grazing on the hillsides. All this without tour buses or traffic. Highly recommend.
