（小グループ）コークからのショアツアー：ブラーニー城とジェームソン蒸留所

It was a bit chaotic at first as people didn't know which tour bus to go to. Some got in the wrong bus, so we started late on our tour. Our driver/ tour guide was Paude?, didn't even check our tickets or count the number of people in our mini bus. He just said this tour will go to Blarney and Distillery, and that's how other people realized they were on the wrong bus. Blarney Castle has a long line to get inside the castle or kiss the stone. My group skipped that part and opted to just walk around and go to the gardens which was beautiful. Then we stopped at Woolen Mills to eat and shop. Unfortunately, my family almost got left behind as Paude started to pull out of parking space earlier than the appointed time. My daughter and I, literally have to run and tapped the coach door which startled the driver and when he opened the door for us, he said " I guess I should have done a headcount."We were seated literally behind him, during our drive to Blarney but I guess he didn't notice that the seats were still empty as he was leaving. It was a good thing he could not drive fast out of the parking lot as there' s plenty of tour buses and people walking. Next stop was at the Midleton Distillery. The tour was a bit long, but at the end is the most awaited moment for whiskey tasting. Then back to the port with just enough time for embarkation.

The driver was great. We were at the Blarney Castle when it opened so everyone had time to go up the steps. Time to walk about the grounds and stop at the stores. Rode around Cork and plenty time to enjoy the tour of Jamison. The driver talked about Cork and made the tour intertesting.

Small bus of 14 passengers was wonderful. Freddie was an excellent guide that took us places the bigger buses couldn’t get to.

Great tour. Very informative. Long wait at the castle but worth it to say we were there to see the stone and grounds. Excellent tour guide.

Best tour ever in Cork! We were taken to Blarney Castle and got there before the lines and then had a wonderful tour of the Jameson Distillery and enjoyed every part of the day!

Nice comfy transport and guide was amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable about the area and sites. We had enough time at each place we went to. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great tour, though we did arrive to the Blarney Castle a little later than what was described and thus we had to wait in line for about an hour to “kiss the blarney.” The wait wasn’t a big deal but didn’t allow us a much time to explore the grounds. The tour of the Jameson distillery was great, especially the taste test at the end. Convinced me to buy a couple bottles of “redbreast.” Our guide was great, though regrettably I forget his name. Very personable, lots of knowledge to share along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour just keep in mind that you may not be first in line to kiss the stone.

This was an outstanding tour with Ryan as our guide. It was fast paced enough to enjoy the island, with slow enough to be able to observe and have a leisure morning.

Great tour! They picked us up at the port. We went to the Blarney Castle but didn’t want to wait 1.5 hours to kiss the stone. The Blarney Gardens are very beautiful. The Jameson tour was informative with a little sampler afterwards. Our driver was fun and we made it back to our cruise ship in plenty of time

Fabulous! While we didn't spend the time to wait in line to kiss the Blarney stone, the grounds were spectacular and the greeting of bagpipes playing was magical! The Jameson distillery was very enjoyable and was a nice contrast to the castle. A great day!
