We were meet at the cruise port, as promised and taken to the railway station. The train journey was lovely and the guide kept us informed of all the things to look out for. A coach was waiting for us at Avoca and we continued our tour visiting a weaving mill and the town where Ballykissangel was filmed. A visit to a monastic ruin and then back to our cruise ship, with time to spare. The only criticism would be the choice of venue for lunch (rather expensive). All in all a very enjoyable tour.

We were met at the cruise terminal by Liam who accompanied us and gave us informed commentaries throughout. Liam is a pleasant and humorous gentleman and knowledgeable tour guide. It was a pleasant and relaxing way of seeing a little corner of Ireland in the limited time we had available.
