Take this tour! Stepping...

Take this tour! Stepping into Rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle almost feels magical. The tour is a very convenient way to see both. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, so we learned a lot about Ireland’s history along with our tour, which we really appreciated. We went in November, so the line for the Blarney Stone wasn’t very long and we had more than enough time to explore the grounds.

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.
