Private tour, Blarney castle, Cork & Kinsale. Car or Minibus.

Craig did a wonderful job with our tour. He met us at the Annie Moore statue outside the Cobh Heritage Center very close to where we exited our cruise ship. We got right off on our tour ahead of all the coaches. Craig gave us a tour of Cork and got us to Blarney Castle quickly. He knew exactly where to go and got us quickly to the ticket office, into the grounds and walked us to where we went in for the Blarney Stone. We were some of the first in line and got up to the Blarney Stone before the crowds. He did a wonderful job. We met Craig at our designated meeting place after seeing the castle. We had ample time to also do some shopping. Next we headed to Kinsale, a lovely seaside town. We had a nice lunch and tour of the town. As we headed back to Cobh, Craig took us to some scenic and historical stops along the way. He did a wonderful job narrating throughout our journey and his driving skills were excellent. When we got back to Cobh, he took us to the sites there and returned us to the cruise ship in plenty of time. I would highly recommend this tour and Craig.

Our guide Brian did a great job showing us the sites around Cork. We stopped in Kinsale for lunch at the end of the tour and the place he suggested to go was great however many shops were closed in Kinsale as it was a Sunday and I probably would have preferred a little more time at Blarney castle because we didn’t have time to walk the grounds as the line to kiss the stone was about an hour and a half long when we arrived and that was something we wanted to do. I would still recommend this tour besides that.

Brian was a great tour guide. He showed us all the in’s and outs of the little towns that we visited.. this is exactly what we wanted. Terrific trip, which I would recommend to anyone Bob.

Driver was on time and easy to find at the meeting point. There were two couples and the driver had a Mercedes sedan. Bryan was a good driver and very Knowledgeable about the area, made good suggestions for the sites we visited and for restaurants and shops. Everyone enjoyed the Blarney Castle visit, and the grounds around the castle were awesome. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, and it was a great excursion. We all rated this trip as 4.5 stars. If we did it again, we would want to have a minivan as the back seat was very tight for 3 adults and there was a significant amount of driving time.

Every thing went perfectly as advertised. Our driver Tony Murphy was outstanding. His knowledge of the sites visited was very impressive. He made this a very memorable experience for us

Amazing. Tony Murphy was a personable and knowledgeable guide. He collected us from our cruise ship and personalized the tour to our interests!

Brian was very knowledgable about the history of Cork, Blarney Castle and Kinsale. He made great recommendations on how to make the most of our time by eliminating long waits and getting around the crowds. The sites he took us to were very fascinating and he was well versed in the history of those areas and locations. We appreciated him making the most of our brief time in port. The highlight of our tour was Kinsale which we will try to return to some day. The only downside was Brian didn't tell us about the areas between the cities. We wish he was more talkative.

Tony Murphy was an excellent guide & driver. So happy not to be part of a huge group off the cruise ship. Bus was comfortable, clean and spacious. Tony was informative and not overbearing at all.

This was an excellent way to see a lot in a short amount of time. Our driver, Tony Murphy met us right in front of the ship. He was so informative about the area and we had plenty of time to see the sights and shop as well and of course to have a bite to eat. Perfect day and I would recommend Tony for a tour guide.

Our driver, Tony Bennett, was a good guide. We were a large group who wanted to see different sites and he managed to make us all happy! His sense of humour added to the fun! We had the best fish and chips ever in Kinsale!
