Description
Our great adventure starts visiting one of Ireland’s greatest treasures Blarney Castle, the home of Blarney Stone also known as Stone of Eloquence. Do you know if you kiss the stone, it will give you the gift of eloquence?
Blarney Castle is more than a castle, it is a complex building divided in different parts: chapel, banqueting hall & family room, young ladies’ bedroom, the dungeon, the great hall, the kitchen…
After this visit to the castle, we will drive to Cork where we are going to enjoy a panoramic tour (we don’t stop to visit sites). You will learn the history of English Market, one of the world’s oldest municipal markets, St. Anne’s Church which is known for the famous Shandon Bells tower.
Finally, discover the Charm and History of Cobh
Cobh is a truly characteristic Irish town, famous for its colorful streets, beautiful harbor, and fascinating maritime history.

Discover the Charm and History of Cobh
Cobh is a truly characteristic Irish town, famous for its colorful streets, beautiful harbor, and fascinating maritime history. For centuries, its port was an important departure point for Irish emigrants, particularly during the mass emigration that followed the Great Famine.
As you explore this picturesque town, keep your cameras ready! Your knowledgeable local guide will take you to some of Cobh’s most iconic sights, including the famous “Deck of Cards” — a row of brightly colored houses rising up the hillside, creating one of the town’s most recognizable and photogenic views.
Take a moment to capture the perfect picture and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this charming Irish harbor town

A lot to see & do in one day especially during peak tourist season
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.

Group of 26 was very happy!
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.

Blarney experience
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.

Great itinerary bad planning
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.
Operator response

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
