Fabulous! While we didn't spend the time to wait in line to kiss the Blarney stone, the grounds were spectacular and the greeting of bagpipes playing was magical! The Jameson distillery was very enjoyable and was a nice contrast to the castle. A great day!

Must do this tour.
Big queues for Blarney Castle but we were forewarned to be fair. Irish woollen mills shop 3 stories of gifts. Jameson was a really good tour and we all enjoyed it, guide took us through the distilling process step by step and the tasting was as good as you would expect from a big name like Jameson's. Better to do this here instead of Dublin, because we wouldn't have had time there!

A lot to see & do in one day especially during peak tourist season
Was disappointed with Blarney Castle as the wait was too long for the time allocated. No time to visit the woolen mill if you walked around the castle grounds. Also, thought our guide should have walked us around the castle grounds more. Enjoyed the Jameson visit but again not enough time- felt rushed. Had a nice lunch in Cork though.

Mary Sol was so professional and very informative. We had two small children with us and she would make sure to include them as well.
Thank you Mary Sol for your kindness as well.

Great way to see a lot with limited time. Highly recommended!
Excellent tour! We were on a Cruise Ship, so having this as a small tour group was a nice change. They got us to the castle early before the tour bus rush which allowed us to get up to the stone quickly without too much wait. Informative guide. The whole experience was smooth and I would highly recommend booking!

Beat the crowds to Blarney Castle
Small group experience. The most imoortant part of Blarney Castle experience is being there first or as close to first as possible. With a van for 20 people its much faster than 50+ passenger bus. This makes all the differebce. Gets you first to Blarney Stone and then gives you plenty of time to view the castle abd grounds. Noah and Neal for were a fantastic driver and guide team that made this excursion 5 stars all the way.

Great tour, highly recommend
Oliver our guide was the best, from the minute he picked us till he dropped us off we had a great time.
The locations on the tour were very enjoyable, time allowed at each place was perfect.
I would highly recommend this and if you’re lucky enough to get Oliver….even better.
Oliver, if your reading this, thank you so much !!

This was a great tour....
This was a great tour. The guide gave us lots of information and best of all, we got to Blarney Castle before the other tour groups. We had plenty of time to tour the castle, shop and have lunch. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Ireland
What an amazing experience with probably one of the best guides out there, Oliver! Very informative and fun! The tour of the fort was wonderful as was seeing the town of Kinsale a must! Lot’s of fun!

We’d repeat
The guide and driver Tim and Tony did a good job, they answered questions and were very knowledgeable about the area and made great recommendations, like “if your mobility is not good don’t go up to kiss the stone.”
