Tour bus was clean and brand new; WiFi and USB ports! Gerry was great…loved his selection of Irish music, from Irish folk songs to U2. He was so nice and knowledgeable.

A wonderful way to see the beautiful countryside on this lovely day trip from Dublin. Dan was a very pleasant and informative guide and both the Rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle were just thrilling to see and explore as you get time to walk the grounds of both. Recommend a pop into the pub in Blarney for a quick bite before heading off.

Strict adherence to schedule, but all in all, a great time. The driver, Aiden, was exceptionally knowledgeable and fun.

It us a good option if you are looking for a one-day tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot and enjoy every part of the tour.

Great way to see more of Ireland. Blarney Castle was lovely (gave the stone a miss as I don't like heights) and the Rock of Cashel had been on my bucket list for a while. Money well spent. Would definitely recommend.

Took the tour to Cork, Blarney Castle and Rock of Cashel. Overall - I’d find a tour that actually explains the sites and tells some history of the stops. Our driver did none of this. He told us about Belfast rather than Cork or Blarney. Nothing explained at all. The tour departed somewhat on time we had to swing past the actual office to pick up passengers that were late. We stopped one hr outside of Dublin which I felt was unnecessary since it’s only been an hr since we left. Again late leaving as people can’t make it back on time. Drove to Rock of Cashel, we had 35 mins there which was fine to walk around but not take it all in. Felt rushed. Then we headed to Blarney Castle, spending just over 2.5 hrs. This again was ok to walk around however at this point it was 1-3pm and if you needed to eat you had to factor that in. So it wasn’t enough time to see everything on the grounds. After a short drive to Cork, just an hour here. Definitely not enough to do anything but walk around quickly and take a couple photos. The promised time of 90 mins would have been nice. If you was a tour guide that’s providing you information of the area you’re stopping in, then this is probably not the best tour for you. We are disappointed as it was a full 12 hr day.

It was an ok time. The rock of Cashel and the visit to Cork was worth the trip. Blarney castle was just ok. The bus we were on had issues at the end and we had to switch busses.
