“Wonderful day exploring the castles. My favorite is Blarney, absolutely gorgeous area. Recommend heading straight to kiss the stone, can be a wait at times unfortunately. Wish had more time to enjoy this castle than the others. 2 others are beautiful to enjoy. The tour on Cahir was great. Tour guy was funny and gives a great history of his family and how it relates to the castle. Our group was small, about 15, our driver / tour guide was funny and kept the time going. Definitely a well worth tour to take. Cheers!”

“I took this tour with my husband and my son, and we had a great time! The tour was really well organized, and our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We went with Brian, Alex, and John. When my son mentioned that he wanted to go to the ocean while we were in Dublin, John suggested going to Howth and gave us directions on our map. He also showed us where to find some antique shops in Dublin. We had plenty of time at Blarney Castle, and that was important to me. We highly recommend this tour!”

Was an enjoyable, stress free adventure with Andrew and our bus driver William. If you have a bigger shoe size than me you might experience a little stress going up and down the castle steps but may be worth the bragging rights of hanging over on your back to kiss the Blarney Stone!”
