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. It was a 12 hour day, but the way he broke up breaks and landmarks made it very easy!

Great driving tour around Cork!
Our driver Michael was wonderful. He helped us understand the local and national history much better than we did before. The driving tour was great. The gardens around the castle were a highlight. He recommended a great place for lunch too!

Was an excellent trip...
Was an excellent trip with our daughter and now son-in-law to be as they got engaged at the top of the Blarney Castle

Great opportunity to see...
Great opportunity to see and explore the castles. The guide at the last castle, Joe, was fabulous!
The USB ports did not work, and of course during long drives, the phone is helpful. More commentary by the drive would have also been helpful

Beautiful Ireland
This was a great trip, Ireland is so beautiful! Our tour guide Ian and driver Kevin made the trip worthwhile. They gave us great information with humor and warmth.

A speedy KISS!
Castle gets very crowded. This tour emphasizes getting the castle early to beat the crowds. We did. We had explored the castle and kissed the stone within 30 minutes of the facility opening. Very nice and appreciated!

Only need to kiss the Blarney Stone once….
Blarney Castle Gardens well worth the visit. If you want to kiss the Blarney Stone get there as early as possible to get ahead of the queues. It’s something you only do once, but the assistants at the top are great. The surrounding gardens are beautiful and well kept. Our guide Finn was excellent. Full of information and lots of fun. The area around Cobh and Cork is so pretty and we saw many interesting sights on this tour. Highly recommend.

Larry & Keith did a great...
Larry & Keith did a great job with a long day, and had such a fun time. I had heard on other tours that they don't give you enough time to kiss the Blarney Stone and still see the Castle, but that was not the case here-I got to do both. Lot of driving, but you see a lot so definitely recommend if you have this on your Ireland Bucket List.

Highly recommend. Thanks for the adventure.

Perfect Day Tour from Cork
This is the perfect day trip out of Cork. Seeing Cohb, Blarney Castle, and Kinsale, along with an amazing local lunch spot on the coast was simply amazing. Derek is a fantastic guide and goes to great lengths to make it a memorable day. We highly recommend Derek and this tour.

Fun day with paddiewagon tours!
I really enjoyed the Blarney Castle! Not enough time to go up and kiss the stone but that was due
To the day of the week and the fact that 3 cruise ships were in port. The Jameson tour was the highlight for my friend and I! Such a great tour guide Nanni was a great tour guide and the tasting was generous! Ray Kelley was our driver and he was a ton of fun! He is also a great story teller and singer! Thanks Ray!!
