Knowledgeable Staff with Jokes!

Published on May, 2025

We had a fantastic time on the Blarney Castle and Kinsale tour! The entire trip was well-organized, and the stops were absolutely beautiful. The drivers were not only knowledgeable but also kept us entertained with great stories and jokes along the way. It was a perfect mix of history, scenery, and fun. Highly recommend! Don’t hesitate to book! And this is coming from someone who struggles to try new things. We booked this right before our 13 night cruise. So, yes, they will get you to and from your ship on time! Even if the ship unexpectedly changes their docking time. The group adjusts accordingly!

Fantastic!

Tour guide Ian and our driver Steven were incredible! We were able to make good time and didn’t have to wait too long in any line. Much faster than the cruise ship buses for less ca$h. We were back to our ship an hour before we needed to be. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing

Our tour guide Kevin and our bus driver Oisin were amazing . We had a wonderful time and took many pictures . One should not miss it

I’d Kiss you again!

Published on May, 2025

It was a fun drive and a funny tour guide who made our excursion to Blarney Castle a pleasant day! Lots of great information about the history of the region. He gave us the good advice of going straight to the castle and get in line so we would have time to kiss the stone and see other sights.

Kiss me Blarney

Published on May, 2025

Excellent tour! Had no idea how to do the kiss but it was so much fun!We are in our mid 70’s so don’t worry about holding on, they are steady & strong. I would go again with these guides!
