It has beautiful stone fortifications, accessible rooms and battlements, and it's surrounded with gorgeous extensive gardens which in and of themselves present various attractions such as several natural rock formations. At the top of the castle lies the Stone of Eloquence - better known as the Blarney Stone. Here, you'll be able to hang upside down over a sheer drop to kiss the stone (which is said to give you the gift of eloquence). There are paths touring the grounds that lead to the Blarney House, which overlooks a nearby lake.

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.

Blarney Castle and Gardens and Kinsale

Loved this tour! Butler Tours was amazing from the start. Their communication with us was phenomenal. In the day of our excursion, they met us at the pier and were super easy to find based on their previous reminders. Viator was terrific with providing repeated reminders regarding our tickets—that was excellent. The buses were well kept. Most of all our tour guide Jamie and driver Kevin were exceptional. Jamie gave extensive Ireland historical information and helpful advice as to how best spend our time at Blarney Castle. The gardens captured my heart. Don’t miss the seven sisters. From there our tour continued on to Kinsale giving us time for lunch. We chose to sit down at Jim Edward’s, a small pub/cafe style eatery. I had the hot chicken salad for 18 euros and loved it. From there Jamie led a small tour of the town. Leaving this tour I felt educated about the history of the Irish people and the struggles and celebrations of the area and country. Great tour. Highly recommend. And a big kudos to Jamie.

Great way to get some steps and check out the history of Cork

This a great guided audio tour. You can do it all pretty quickly or stop along the way and make a day of it. My wife and I did this to get our morning walk in. The audio was very good at pointing out sights and history you would otherwise miss. It’s great to be able to do it self paced.

Derek is a wealth of knowledge and experience and he is bubbling over-the-top passionate to share it all with you! He packs some amazing spots to see and explore into the trip! If you ever get the chance to select Derek - do it without any hesitation! He was the absolute best guide we had on our 14 days in Ireland!

Our private tour of Cork...

Our private tour of Cork with Noel was a truly exceptional experience. Noel was an outstanding guide who shared his deep knowledge of the city and its history with great enthusiasm. We were particularly captivated by his passion for Ireland's struggle for independence; he brought this pivotal period to life with compelling stories and insights. Beyond the historical details, Noel was also very open and friendly, patiently answering all of our questions about what life is like in Ireland today. His genuine love for his country was evident in every story he told, making the tour both informative and incredibly personal. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Cork and Ireland as a whole. We highly recommend Noel for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and passionate guide.
