Very informative and many jokes along the way. Our guide loved to talk and kept up the conversations with good knowledge of the areas.
Nice to have the Irish Coffee provided at stop in Cobh on the way back. Driver was also the tour guide and was excellent. Learned a lot. Tour left a bit late waiting for 9 person group. Broke their own rules of no more than 30 minutes between departures. I'd recommend this tour, but the train to Cork leaves from dock and arrives at Cork station with bus to Blarney castle that may afford you the added time to kiss and shop. I like booking with Viator, good outfit. I rescheduled a tour and it was no issue.
Kevin was super friendly and led an amazing tour to Blarney Castle and Cork. Highly recommend this stress free tour.
Excursion was great. Ian the guide/bus driver was fantastic. Weather cooperated. We arrived early at the Blarney Stone and still had to wait about 45 minutes. It was a pretty steep climb up the castle to kiss the stone. I would think the steps would be slippery if it was raining. The grounds of the castle were beautiful.
This shore excursion was great from start to finish. Our driver and guide Kevin was awesome. Kevin was very friendly, professional, and informative. Blarney Castle and the surrounding area was beautiful. A must see if you are in Ireland!!
Ian was entertaining and informative would highly recommend this tour. Also was easy to locate off the cruise ship
Driver was courteous and knowledgeable. Barney Castle grounds were beautiful. Your of Cork City was good. Would definitely recommend this tour.
