Extremely crowded and unpleasantly hot on our bus (10 degrees Celsius hotter inside than outside- it was 34 degrees inside)
We happened to have extremely hot weather (over 90 degrees F) on the day of our tour. Since we were part of a cruise, there were three large buses picking us up from the train and taking us to the Blarney Castle and other stops. Our bus had no a/c and no windows that opened. The temperature soared; we were miserable. There were several elderly and/or disabled passengers on the tour, too. I feel the bus temp was so hot that it bordered on dangerous. The tour company should have either transferred us to a bus with a/c or cancelled the trip. (Note: The tour guide was very knowledgeable; however, the extreme temps made it very difficult to focus.)
This was a great way to visit Blarney Castle from Cobh without worrying about transportation or timing back to the ship. The tour starts right at the Cobh train station next to the cruise port, making it very easy to find. Staff members were friendly, organized, and did an excellent job checking everyone in and explaining what to expect before boarding. The train ride itself was comfortable and scenic. Blarney Castle and the surrounding grounds were definitely the highlight of the day. The gardens are peaceful, beautifully maintained, and really make you feel transported back in time. Climbing the narrow stone staircase to kiss the Blarney Stone was a fun experience, and we appreciated that the posted wait times along the route were very accurate. After exploring the castle and grounds, we had time to walk through the village, grab something to eat, and enjoy the area before continuing the tour. The remainder of the excursion through Cork and back to the ship was informative and relaxed. We’re glad we chose this excursion and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cobh by cruise ship.
Hi Courtney, Thanks for your 4* review and your glowing description of our CB02 Shore Excursion to Blarney Castle. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
Tour with Paul O’Neill was excellent. Organizing with personnel at train station was unorganized and confusing!!!
Dear Thomas, Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour, and that Paul was great! We will pass on your lovely review. We hope you'll join us again on our in the future! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
I enjoyed myself, but it was too much time spent inside the castle. I wish I had more time to look in shops & time to sit down & eat .
Hi Printess, Thanks for your 3-star review. We allocate sufficient time at Blarney Castle for our guests to explore the grounds, gardens, shops and the castle itself at their own pace. You can spend as long as you wish at any part of Blarney, whether that be the castle or at the restaurants and shops. You could have vacated the castle at any time to allow for more time in shops/ to sit down and eat. All the best, The Railtours Ireland Team
It was a great experience, the driver of the bus gave us a lot of time at each stop. The only bad thing was even though he gave us enough time at Blarney Castle, we didn't think it was enough to get up to the Blarney Stone and still see more of the grounds
Dear Shane, Thank you for your great review! We are so glad you enjoyed the tour. We hope to welcome you back again some day! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
Our tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and approachable with questions. He took his time to answer everyone’s questions. The train ride was a different twist but overall it added to the charm. Our bus driver was outstanding. I drive a large vehicle on small mountain roads so I respect how well our driver did with a large bus on these little roads. Outstanding. There’s nothing Viator can do about it but my only regret is that we have more time to explore and see the property.
