The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I think his name was Patrick. The rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle was very beautiful. Unfrotunately, we did not get to go to Cork due to it being St. Patrick's Day and time limitatiohns. There was plenty of time to kiss the Blarney stone and eat lunch!

Overall a good day. We enjoyed the locations and experience at the stops. We only waited about 10 minutes at the Blarney Stone and that was good to know going in, thanks to our guide! The itinerary posted was not accurate and we only received 30 minutes at the Rock of Cashel. That was a bit of a let down as we felt very rushed there and throughout the entire day.

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.
