Great day!

Very punctual! Once you leave, comfortable ride about an hour and half for a potty break. The driver mixed up the arrival times to the Blarney Castle with Cork in order to bypass several cruise ships. It made the stop at Blarney so much better.

Fabulous Driver who personalized our experience

Rock of Cashel was awesome, so much history to learn. Kilkenny Castle was also quite fascinating. We ran out of time with Kilkenny due to our own unexpected schedule constraint, which unpredictably changed that day. Our driver was absolutely fabulous and adjusted to our scheduling needs. We would have liked to spend more time in Kilkenny, but not at the expense of Rock of Cashel. Just needed a full dusk to dawn schedule availability, which we did not have that day.
