A fully lovely day. Our driver was prompt to arrive with a clean, comfortable vehicle and took us straight to Blarney Castle for the first stop. We arrived early and were second in line when they gates opened. We did the "kiss the Blarney Stone" part of the castle first, with no wait, and got some hilarious photos from that. From there we took our time, winding back down the castle (which is stunning) and out to explore the grounds. By the time we exited the castle, tour buses had arrived and the line was fully down the stairs and out of the entrance door. We probably saved at least an hour thanks to the early arrival. The weather was perfect, so we did linger quite a while exploring the many sections of the gardens. It's very well maintained and beautiful scenery. There are lots of signs to explain what's inside the different areas, for example the "wishing steps" and the legend of Blarney Lake. Even though we had lingered at the grounds, we still had time to see plenty more. We did lunch and shopping in Kinsale, a quaint and friendly harbor town. From there we visited a 9/11 memorial garden, a beautiful tribute to the first responders. Our last stop was Charles Fort, a fascinating structure from the history of defending the island.
Hi Jason, Thank you for the great review and description. It was great to meet you both and to show you around. Continued success to you both. Best wishes, Ronan
This was by far, one of the best tours we have ever done. Ronan was an exceptional guide. He was very prompt, offered his suggestions for how to organize our trip and timing to best maximize our tour. Ronan was extremely knowledgeable about all things Ireland. He gave us a thorough history of the area we were in, going to, even the surrounding areas. He answered any questions we had. Ronan made sure to provide us with information to guide us as we decided how we wanted to spend our time in each place. This gave us the opportunity to go to additional places. Some we stopped and got out, some we stopped to just look, a slow drive by, or just drove through. His suggestions for lunch did not disappoint in the slightest. One of the best meals we had. Ronan was very personable, professional, and friendly. We could not have been more pleased with our trip. We would 100% book another tour with him and recommend him to everyone!
Hi Robert, Thank you so much for taking the time to offer a review and also for all the kind words. It was a pleasure to meet and tour with you all. Always a nice tour when in good company. Best wishes on your continued adventure around Ireland and sage travels home. Thanks again. Ronan
Kieran was a great tour guide! We had a lovely day with him. It was a very cold rainy day and he provided umbrellas and tried his best to do drop offs and pick ups to avoid as much of it as we could. Also gave great restaurant recommendations and was overall just a very pleasant person to spend the day with!
Hi Julie, Glad you enjoyed your day with us and sorry we couldn't stop the rain. Its rare we get days like that but it makes us appreciate the sunny days even more. We really appreciate the great review, it not only helps guide others who are looking to tour with us but also gives us driver guides a little boost too..I'll pass on your review to Ciaran, he'll be thrilled you enjoyed the day with him, he enjoyed meeting you all on the day. Hope Kerry is treating you well, wishing you all the best. Ronan @CorkWest
Ronan was outstanding in every respect. Completely comfortable the entire day. Awesome knowledge and expertise. Perfect day in Kinsale and Blarney Castle.
Hi Glenda, Thank you for taking the time to review our day tour. It was great to meet you both and show you around both Blarney and Kinsale as well as the Old Head Peninsula. Kind regards and safe onwards travels. Ronan
We had a delightful day with Ronan visiting a number of locations around County Cork. From start to finish it was a great experience. Ronan was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and insightful. We came away crammed with information about the history, geography, politics (and everything else!) about Cork and Ireland and he was able to answer all of our questions. Ronan was able to adapt the day based on our requests and I can’t imagine a better way to see Cork. Thanks Ronan !
What a great review, thank you, you've put a spring in my step today 😀 It was really great travelling with you, your son and his girlfriend. As you probably gathered, I'm quite passionate about Ireland so it was a pleasure to tour with you and delve a little deeper into the history as your connection to (and knowledge of) Ireland is so strong. It was also good fun chatting with you all. It was also great to see the younger generation taking such an interest and asking questions. I'm sure we'll meet again, take care and thank you again for your kind review. It means a lot. Best. Ronan
We had a wonderful experience with Ronan. He's very knowledgeable and helpful. Lunch at Kitty O'shea's in kinsale was great. Wondering round Kinsale was delightful. Would certainly recommend this tour.
Thanks so much for the nice words and kind review. It was great to meet and tour with you and thrilled you enjoyed the day. Safe home and thanks again for taking the time to review your trip. Safe onwards travels and hopefully we'll get to meet again in the future. Kind regards. Ronan @ Corkwest.ie
My husband and I are on a cruise for our honeymoon and booked this tour for our first pork in Cobh. It was such a perfect day! Ronan is a great guide and, in addition to showing us the scheduled itinerary, he gave us lots of history and stories of the surrounding areas on the drive to the various stops. We loved Blarney Castle and had plenty of time to see everything. We went to Kinsdale and had lunch and went shopping, and Ronan showed us the Charles Fort and we even went up the peninsula after lunch to see the spot where the Lucitania was hit and some beautiful cliffs. The car was clean and comfortable. We had such a great time and we would 10/10 recommend to book this tour with Ronan!
Hi Madicooper501, What a wonderful review and thank you so much for your kind words, I will pass them onto Ronan also. We're thrilled you got to enjoy the day and see some of the highlights Cork has to offer. Enjoy the rest of your Cruise and wishing you both continued success and a wonderful future together filled with love and laughter. From us all @ Cork West
A delightful day touring Blarney Castle and Kinsale. Ronan is an exemplary guide who arrived right on time and offered insights, conversation and great knowledge of the area. He offered options as to what we wanted to see, and the day was well paced. Highly recommended.
