Darren was AWESOME! Such a wonderful tour. Darren was knowledgeable, took us to several places where big tour buses can not go. Highly recommend you book with him!
Darren took us on a great private tour from Cork (prompt pickup at our hotel) to Blarney Castle (and gardens), to Kinsale (including lunch out in the country somewhere, at a great place with incredible views and wonderful chowder) and then to Cobh. Learned so much and had a great day with a very interesting gentleman.
This site is much larger than we realized. It does get very busy and its important to see the castle first then explore the grounds. Our tour guide Colin told us this and he couldn’t have been more accurate. We could have spent half a day here, as the gardens are gorgeous. Theres also a more modern mansion on the site but unfortunately we didn’t have time to tour that. Colin was the best tour guide of the trip. He will make your experience better as he is a lifelong resident and very outgoing and entertaining.
Great to hear you had a memorable day with Colin he is an important member of the team. And thank you for your 5 star review.
This was an awesome tour! Darren was very fun to be with and he did an excellent job! We knew exactly where to find him and he got us to the Blarney Castle before the large crowds arrived. He allowed plenty of time for us to kiss the Blarney Stone and tour the beautiful gardens. He drove us through the countryside to a lovely place to have lunch and see the dramatic rugged coastline! We had a wonderful day with Darren!
Thank you for the glowing review. It means a lot to get feedback especially when people have had a great day both with myself and the tour .And I know you will take home special memories until we meet again thank you so much.
We were notified Michael would be our guide before we left the cruise ship. We met Michael and Darren immediately after getting off the ship. Michael had a full day planned, so he made sure to get us to Blarney Castle before it got too crowded. The rest of the day was beyond expectations. Michael was very informative and answered any questions we had. His lunch plans were a pleasant surprise. The restaurant appeared to be a local favorite which gave us a feel for life near Kinsale. We highly recommend booking a tour with Michael and Darren.
Thank you so much for the kind words.I was happy to hear your day went so well..And you are taking away great memories of your vist to Cork.
This is a terrific tour! Michael was great and made this tour a Must Do in Cork! His sense of humor and local knowledge cannot be topped.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot to receive positive feedback back.
What a great day in Cobh! Our visit to Blarney was so much fun! Our tour guide, Mike, was a gem! He customized the tour according to our interests, and when we asked to visit a “locals” pub for lunch, he delivered! Mike was friendly and knowledgeable, and shared stories so that we were able to get a feel of what it’s like to live in Ireland. Truly a day we will remember for a long time! Communication with Darren was fantastic, and pickup/drop off was seamless. Great excursion!
Thank you for your very kind words. I will pass your review on to Mike .I do appreciate the time you take to post a review. Thank you Darren
Darren was wonderful. Took us to places that tours can't go. Took us to an incredible local pub restaurant on the ocean. Went beyond what we expected. Strongly recommend.
Thank you so much for the very kind words. So glad you enjoyed your day Thank you
Darren was a great driver and tour guide! We had a beautiful day for sightseeing! I would highly recommend this trip!
So glad you enjoyed your day .Hope to see you again and take in different sights.
I’ve traveled across Europe and Darren was, by far, the best tour guide I’ve ever had! Darren took the time to get to know me and my preferences and tailor-made our day accordingly. He was so kind and generous with his knowledge about each place we visited. He took me to places I think the average tourist might not know to visit. He even made the car ride fun with his favorite Irish music. He kept reminding me to stop looking at my watch as there were not strict schedules to maintain, and to take my time to enjoy each experience. He stayed with me, as needed, but then allowed me to be on my own for touring, shopping, and dining. Darren provided the perfect Irish day for me and I highly recommend him for any tour.
