Informative

Sean is a great guide and gives a lot of history if both Cork and Ireland. We saw lots of sites and he got us to y The Barney stone early and we avoided the normal 2 hour wait

Highly recommend

Sean was great. He got us on the road early to beat the rush to kiss the Blarney Stone, which was the best advice. It saved us two hours of waiting. He was very knowledgeable and funny, played us a few historical songs, and was very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Charmed By Blarney! ☘️

IWe had an amazing time on the excursion with Sean! His enthusiasm, knowledge, and great sense of humor made the entire day unforgettable. Each stop was well-planned and offered a unique slice of Irish culture and history. Blarney Castle & Gardens was absolutely magical. Sean gave us just the right amount of time to explore, kiss the Blarney Stone, and enjoy the stunning grounds. Blarney Woollen Mills, is the perfect place for picking up quality souvenirs. St. Anne’s Church was another highlight—ringing the Shandon Bells and seeing panoramic views of Cork City was something we will never forget. And finishing up at the English Market, where Sean shared some fun facts (including Queen Elizabeth II’s visit!), was the perfect end to a delightful tour. Sean also walked us down to a really great pub called Clancy’s and made sure that we got a table for lunch. Sean’s passion for Irish heritage really shone through, and his engaging commentary brought each location to life. Highly recommend this excursion and especially Sean as your guide. Thanks Sean for sharing your stories & music! ☘️
