Fantastic Day
Ian and Phil were just incredible! Fantastic guide and bus driver. What a pleasure. Blarney castle gardens wrre amazing. Loved seeing megalithic stones and druid circle! Kinsale was charming and we really enjoyed the walking tour.

This is an amazing tour...
This is an amazing tour overall but need more time at each castle. Even though says approximately 13 hours it was only 11 and a half.

Awesome excursion
Had a great time on this excursion. Brian was a great host. Blarney Castle is gorgeous - don’t sleep on the gardens, they are worth exploring!! Very cute shops here too. Do know you only drive through downtown Cork, you don’t stop to explore Cork. I do wish we had more time to explore Cóbh instead of only one hour. If I could do it again I’d walk up to the main Cóbh village to take photos and see the shops instead of visiting the Heritage Center.

Gardens, Castles and Carts (shopping)
Taste of southern Ireland with whirlwind stops at major cities and attractions. Too quick a stop Cork to properly explore the city. Blarney had adequate time

Best guide
Maryka? Was an EXCELLENT guide. She had great visuals throughout the tour to help enhance what we were seeing giving us an even better understanding of what life would have looked like during specific time periods. While waiting in line she had a lot of little relevant side talks to help pass the time. We would rate her as o e of the better tour guides we have had. Very upbeat and cheerful!

Would recommend
We had a great time. Jonathan, our guide and driver, was knowledgeable and funny. Also, don't be scared off if you see that this tour is 13+ hours — it's not. I think it ended up being about 11 hours.

Great day out
Perfect day visiting Blarney, Cork etc. Very well run by our guide, John. Would definitely recommend them.

Kissing the stone and walking about
The trip to Blarney castle and Kinsale was much better than I had expected. Going to the castle and kissing the stone, which I admit was stupid, it’s still something I’ll always remember. The walk around Kinsale was also very enjoyable. However, our tour guide Ian was the best part of the trip. Entertaining the bus with jokes and descriptions of the area. I fully recommend the trip.

Fun Blarney Castle & Gardens; Kinsale; Beautiful Colman Cathedral
Great tour to Blarney Castle & Gardens; SO GLAD our guide got us there pretty much at opening so really no line to kiss the Blarney Stone! Gardens were beautiful! Kinsale was a nice stop . . not too much to do, really wanted to get to the Meadery closeby but lunch in Fishy Fishy took too long (great food/service/atmosphere tho!) . . . . LOVE that tour guide made sure we got to have a brief stop at beautiful Colman's Cathedral! Thank you!

Fun and informative excursion
A very good and interesting experience. Our bus driver/tour guide was excellent. He gave us background/historical information is a very interesting way. We had a very enjoyable time. We had plenty of time to explore each stop on our excursion. I would highly recommend.

Stone kissing is best suited for those who are able-bodied, as the line winds up steep staircases to the castle’s top.
