We left the rental car at the hotel and took a 4 hour tour with Mossie, and loved every minute of it! Dingle is beautiful but we got so much... read more more out of it from our tour with Mossie! He showed up on time with a very clean van, and right away, was eager to hear what we were interested in. He’s a fun man to spend the day with and very knowledgeable about Irish culture, language, and history. We didn’t have kids with us but I can imagine Mossie works well with people of any age. Our tour with Mossie will be one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland, I highly recommend him!
All I can say is WOW! Mossie made our trip Ireland memorable - he is a wonderful person and full of knowledge. Our family booked a private tour... read more with him in Dingle. We didn't know what to expect, but he asked what our interests were and he fulfilled every one of them and then some. Our day was spectacular - we only wished we could have stayed longer in Dingle to spend more time with Mossie. Thanks so much Mossie for making our tour so special. The Wards

Mossie was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Dingle and its history. but he never overdid it tried to show off how much he knows. He somehow sensed just the right amount of Dingle & Irish history, and his life experiences (so interesting!), to share with us.
At the start of our day together, Mossie asked us a few questions to get a sense for what types of activities we most enjoy and what we can take or leave (we told him that we weren't particularly "archaeological"), and he fully respected that. But he still suggested (always gently) that we experience, if only briefly, a few things that weren't in our stated wheelhouse that he thought we might nevertheless enjoy. He just sensed it. And every time, we were glad that he did (even "archaeological" stuff). Throughout the day, he struck the perfect balance between suggesting (again, always gently) sites or experiences we might enjoy and taking us to shops or sites that we knew we wanted to visit.
Sitting here now, I can't even recall all the activities we crammed (but never rushing) into our day with Mossie. All I can recall is that we enjoyed every spectacular view, every scenic hike, every quirky shop, and every restaurant or coffee stop that he suggested.
Again, the only thing Mossie wanted was for us to enjoy our day in Dingle as much as possible. And he refused to end the tour until he was 100% sure that we had. I believe that the tour was scheduled to stop at 5 or 5:30, but we ended up going until 6:30 or 7:00. Why? Well, he knew that we wanted to drive Conor Pass, but he'd been told that it was too foggy to see much of anything that particular day. But around 5 or so, he took us there just in case the fog had cleared (it hadn't, but we still enjoyed it). And after that, because he knew that our 24-year-old daughter loves hiking, he accompanied her on a rocky hike up to a beautiful lake even though we'd had plenty of hiking to and around the ocean earlier in the day. He just wanted to be absolutely certain that she had as great a day as my wife and I had (she definitely did).
AND WHAT A NICE GUY. Example: We told him how much we enjoyed the music that was playing in his car (a lovely, spacious Mercedes) through most of our day. He told us various places (Amazon, music shop in town) where we likely could purchase it. But being, you know, Mossie, he didn't stop there. The MORNING AFTER our tour, he dropped off HIS OWN COPY of the CD at our B & B and he threw in a couple of CDs of HIM singing (he has a lovely voice, and SANG at least one song for us during the tour). I mean, who does that? That would be Mossie. So thoughtful, and so generous.
Mossie just wanted us to love Dingle as much as he obviously does—and we do! Dingle was the best part of our Ireland experience (well, except for our daughter getting married in a castle in Tralee), and Mossie was the best part of Dingle. We couldn't recommend him more highly!
Our trip was incredible! We saw all the sights we had heard of around the Dingle peninsula and more. Mossie was an absolutely amazing guide and storyteller- it was an... read more incredible experience!
I cannot say enough positive things about our tour with Mossie!! He was an absolute delight and the highlight of our trip. He was a wealth of knowledge on Irish... read more history and culture. He took us through the Slea head drive and made plenty of stops for us to enjoy the scenery and explained the history of the area. He was incredibly funny and kept us entertained the entire time. If I had the opportunity to do this again, I would definitely book the all day tour as our 4 hour tour was over in a flash. Thank you Mossie for the experience of a lifetime. You are a true reflection of your beautiful country.
We can't say enough about Mossie and his tours. Really, the word 'tour' doesn't begin to capture what it's like to spend time with Mossie on his native soil. Yes,... read more we saw exquisite sights on the Dingle Peninsula that took our breath away. But Mossie helped us 'see' the sights …
This is our 6th day in Ireland and woke up this morning with a bit of a travel hangover so we just wanted to stay in bed. But Mossie made... read more this one of our favorite days ever traveling. Yesterday I drove the Ring of Kerry but missed almost everything because I had to keep my eyes on the road. Having Mossie not only drive us around but also explain what we were seeing was a game changer. He took us to nooks and crannies that we would have missed - plus put it all into a historical, political and environmental context that brought the peninsula to life for us and helped us appreciate more than just the physical beauty (which shan't be slighted- it is breathtaking). Best choice all around but especially if you want to laugh as you learn.
