Was disappointed with Blarney Castle as the wait was too long for the time allocated. No time to visit the woolen mill if you walked around the castle grounds. Also, thought our guide should have walked us around the castle grounds more. Enjoyed the Jameson visit but again not enough time- felt rushed. Had a nice lunch in Cork though.
Dear customer, Thank you so much for your comments.. Blarney Castle is one of the most importants castles in Ireland.. our semi private tour got limit time on this castle as program stands... regarding Jameson tour on this site is almost 90 minutes as sites program which give you an idea about this lovely irish whisky.. Many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez Top Private Tours

We had a really great time in this tour. Unfortunately our tour left 2 behind at the beginning, but the company paid to get them caught up (way to go)! The castle was amazing and the whiskey tour was awesome. I'd do it again!

Our group of 26, could not enough good things about the guides and bus driver we had. Guide new the history very well. Plus, she made sure that all our needs were taken care of. We had people with small, or active bladders in our group. No problem! Guide provided "timely" access to the rest rooms.
Dear customer, Much appreciated your comments Our suppliers love what they are doing.. trying to help as much as they can Many Thanks & hoping see you soon Pilar Gonzalez
Connor was amazing, he went above and beyond for us. While in the bus he told us great information about Ireland. Also while on Blarney Castle and Middleton he gave us great information. Highly recommended. Communication was excellent even though our ship landed at a different dock, they picked all of us up there to make it more convenient. Couldn’t be happier.
Dear customer, Thank you so much for your nice comments on our Blarney Semi private experience... I am passing over to Conor.. he is an excellent professional with a great knowledge, loving what he does Many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez
The Itinerary was great but the guide lacked any and all time management skills. We missed much of the castle for parking and had no plans for lunch. Guide talked at us reading and never asked us what we thought or took questions.
Dear customer, Thank you so much for your comments however just for your information Marysol is an official tour guide with right Irish degree plus she got age of experience conducting this tour for us.. as you can read other reviews from some passengers..anyway we are passing your comments to her in order to improved Many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez
