Overview of your Cork tour: Did you know that the Blarney Castle originally dates from before the 12th Century?

Cheryl_m, Oct 2026

Arrive Early

The drive to the Blarney is quite long. Take the earliest time slot available the tour. The Blarney fills up with many tourists. Our tour bus was the first at the gate and the park! When we were ready for a snack and seat, the line to enter was a minimum 2hr wait.

Loved the Ring of Kerry Tour with the Paddy Wagon!

First, our driver Brian took the safety of every passenger very seriously which made for a thoroughly enjoyable drive. He was polite, professional and informative. The bus was comfortable and clean.

Our guide was Kerry, such...

Our guide was Kerry, such an amazing, lovely, knowledgeable and enthusiastic person! She told us of the history of Cork and its old canals that made it known as the Venice of Ireland. Those canals are now the streets and alleys of Cork, which gives the city a quaint character. The English Market was amazing, with great samples of seafood and chocolate. We ended the tour at a lovely pub where we enjoyed cheeses and shared stories. A definite ‘must do’ in Cork!

The Blarney Castle and Kinsale excursion was awesome! The tour left on time and we were at the castle to kiss the Blarney Stone early morning before the crowds! The travel to Kinsale was great with our guide sharing history of the area and had a delicious lunch at Gino’s. Next stop was Cobh to see the beautiful church Titanic museum.

Cork City Ramble

Brandon_P, Aug 2026

The most history packed into ~ 75 minutes that I ever experienced or enjoyed. Eddie is a master storyteller and saint!

Eddie is very knowledgeable, charismatic and deeply engaged throughout the walking tour. Pace and time at each stop was very appropriate for the traveling group (skewed older, 60's 70's). We already loved Cork city and this enriched and deepened our hearts for this special city. I'd love to take another tour of the city and showcase different landmarks and historical notoriety.

Easy Access Blarney Stone and Castle Gardens Tour

Ron_W, Aug 2026

Amazing and Fun Blarney Castle Tour

The Blarney Castle tour is so much more than a simple tour. We walked through Blarney Village and learned a bit of history and then went onto the castle grounds. We walked the beautiful gardens and learned so much more than just the castle. Of course we kissed the Blarney Stone and enjoyed the castle architecture and fantastic views at each level. Michael our tour guide was amazing! He had great information to share, but more importantly he was so friendly and patient with our two year old grandchildren. We would highly recommend this tour and Michael and are thankful for the experience.
