Blarney castle experience with Sean was awesome. He had scouted the are ahead of time and gave us a walking tour of the gardens. The experience with him was treat. I would recommend him any time.
We loved this tour with Sean and will definitely seek him out again when we return to Ireland. He is very knowledgeable about Cork and the surrounding area. He was also very nice and took great pictures for us so we have shots with the whole family in the most scenic locations. The early trip to Blarney Castle and the gardens was a highlight, but we enjoyed all of the locations on this tour.
Thanks so much Sean, Christine and the boys for the great review , it’s much appreciated,lovely to have you all on tour and looking forward to seeing you all again sometime, kind regards, Sean.
Nice and informative guide. He showed us interesting sites. Beautiful country side and did not feel rushed.

Thanks so much for the great review Mary, much appreciated and enjoyed the day on tour with you and your group, hope you’re enjoying the rest of your cruise.
Sean did a fantastic tour. He got us to Blarney Castle bright and Early and My wife was the first of the day to kiss the stone. Our itinerary was well executed and we added a nice beach stop and Michael Collins statues. Some nice Irish music and Sean's recommendations were well received. We lunched in Kinsale at an adorable family pub and then proceeded for photo at the old head cliffs. A truly memorable experience, thanks for your friendship Sean!
Thanks so much for the great review Tom, lovely to meet you,Vilmarie and the group, hope to see you all again sometime.
Terrific! Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable, kind and attentive. Sean was punctual, even followed up before the excursion to cater to our specific needs and wants. Has some musical interplay that is appropriate but not overbearing. Trust me, if you book with Sean, you won’t be disappointed. He also recommended a pub where we had a night we will not soon forget!
Thanks so much for the great review Michele,it was a pleasure having you,your dad and the family on tour,hope to see you all again sometime.
Our driver Sean was the most courteous, friendly and knowledgeable of the Cork area. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. His knowledge of the area is superb. He gave us all the information needed to see the best places and beat the crowds. Cork is a beautiful place.
Many thanks for the nice review Ana Maria, it was lovely having you and your family on tour, hope to see you again someday.
