Blarney Kinsale & Cobh Private Tour, Viator Badge Of Excellence

Ashley_M, Sep 2026

Best Day Ever!

Derek is the man! Hands down, the absolute BEST tour we had on our entire trip! From start to finish, Derek was incredible. He was right on time, his car was spotless, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our group. He knows everyone in the area, knows all the best places to go (and, just as importantly, where NOT to go!), and made sure we had an amazing experience. But what really made the day special was Derek himself. He was respectful, kind, genuinely caring, and absolutely hilarious! His witty personality kept us laughing throughout the day, and it truly felt like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just a tour guide. Derek is an absolute gem of a person and made our day so memorable. We highly, highly recommend booking a tour with him! We will definitely be booking with Derek again when we return. THANK YOU, DEREK, FOR THE BEST DAY! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cobh (Cork) to Blarney Castle & Kinsale - Shore Excursion

Gregory_M, Sep 2026

Well Done!

Niles was great narrating and Dan did a superb job driving in crowded and tight streets. We were the first bus to queue for Blarney Castle, making it a really enjoyable day. Kinsale was beautiful and lunch recommendation was spot on! Had time to stop at the Cathedral in Cobh and still well plenty of time to get back to the ship. Awesome Day!

Private Ring of Kerry Highlights Tour from Cork, Car or Minibus

Don_C, Sep 2026

Ring of Kerry tour

My husband booked the Ring of Kerry tour for us. Our driver was Maurice. The day of our tour was very rainy and overcast. Even though Maurice had no control of the weather, he must have apologized 5 to 7 times. He was full of knowledge. He asked what we wanted to see, do and learn about. He took us to St. Finbarr’s Oratory just a beautiful, peaceful spot. We saw a couple waterfalls, many sheep and cows. We stopped for lunch in Kenmare cozy town great shopping, I recommend Irish Weavers for sweaters etc. Gorgeous and so soft. I strongly recommend this experience. It would’ve been a glorious day to see the sights and enjoy all the greenery had the sun been out but all in all still a lovely tour. Maurice is a wonderful man.

Blarney Castle and Kinsale Tour from Cork

Delilah_B, Sep 2026

Paddywagon Tours

I had an amazing time on this tour! I was traveling solo, and this ended up being the perfect way to start my time in Ireland. I felt completely comfortable traveling on my own, and the entire day was such a fun experience. Every stop somehow seemed better than the last—from Charles Fort and Kinsale to beautiful Cobh—but my absolute favorite was Blarney Castle & Gardens. We had the most gorgeous sunny day, and having time to walk around the castle grounds and explore the gardens was incredible. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The itinerary gives you a great mix of history, scenery, and time to explore, and I loved getting to see so much in one day without having to worry about transportation or planning everything myself. And I have to mention that I got to ride around Ireland on the super cool green Paddywagon bus! ☘️🚌 It definitely added to the experience and made for a fun memory. I would absolutely recommend this tour, especially to other solo travelers or anyone looking for a great introduction to Ireland. Also honorable mention of Tommy our driver and tour guide was fantastic! Such a memorable first day of my trip! 🇮🇪💚

Private Tour Blarney, Kinsale & Cobh .The Best Cork has to offer.

Denise_B, Aug 2026

More stars required!!

If I could give more stars I would! Darren was absolutely fantastic with his knowledge, tips and tricks and making sure we got the most out of our day. Being with a local and taking us to "off the beaten track" places made our experience invaluable and one we certainly won't forget. He took us to sights you typically wouldn't see on a group tour and a local pub whose food was so delicious we had to ask for the recipe. I cannot stress how much we enjoyed our day with Darren and highly recommend him and his company. Don't hesitate you won't be disappointed.

Ring of Kerry Day Tour from Cork: Including Killarney National Park

Margaret_H, Aug 2026

Wonderful trip of Ireland landscape

While it is a long day, no doubt-this tour was awesome! All the stops were well planned: some for sight-seeing; some for quick potty breaks (which are necessary). Our driver was great(DJ) and the landscape was breathtaking-taking. THIS is what I wanted to see most about Ireland. On to Galway and the Cliffs next!

Easy Access Blarney Stone and Castle Gardens Tour

Philip_E, Jul 2026

Great tour with a great guide!

Maryna clearly knew her way around Blarney and the castle grounds, with so many lovely spots to stop and admire the scenery and take photos. The castle itself had a bit of a line when we arrived, and she suggested going around the gardens instead and coming back (the tickets are good all day) and she was right - by early afternoon there was no line at all and we could get straight in. But the grounds and gardens are the unexpected best part of the tour, and Maryna was fun and interesting with lots of insights! And she'll help you with taking group photos! Highly recommended

Cork City Ramble

Terrence_O, Jul 2026

Cork Ramble

This walking tour was an excellent introduction to Cork. Our host was a wealth of knowledge, bringing the city's history to life with engaging stories and fascinating details that I would have completely missed exploring on my own. The route covered many of Cork's highlights, including St. Patrick's Street, the Crawford Art Gallery, Rory Gallagher Place, the Huguenot Cemetery, Grand Parade, South Mall, and the English Market. Along the way, we learned about Cork's maritime history, architecture, music, commerce, and the remarkable people who helped shape the city. The tour was well paced, entertaining, and informative from beginning to end. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Cork and plenty of ideas for places to revisit during my stay. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, especially at the beginning of their trip.

Scenic West Cork to Mizen Head departing from Cork City. Guided. Full Day

Kathleen_A, Apr 2026

Incredible trip!!

I truly enjoyed this tour. I had already been to the Cliffs of Moher and thought they were spectacular, but in my opinion Mizen Head was even more beautiful. It isn’t an easy hike to see a lot of it but well worth the time and effort. As for the tour, Brian (I hope that’s how he spells his name) was an awesome guide. Informative, funny, accommodating, just the kind of person you would want for a guide on any tour. We saw a lot of small towns on our way to Mizen Head and Brian was quick to offer info about each place and point out things I would have probably missed if he hadn’t mentioned them. This was my third tour on my trip to Southern Ireland and it was far and away the best.
