Amazing and Fun Blarney Castle Tour
The Blarney Castle tour is so much more than a simple tour. We walked through Blarney Village and learned a bit of history and then went onto the castle grounds. We walked the beautiful gardens and learned so much more than just the castle. Of course we kissed the Blarney Stone and enjoyed the castle architecture and fantastic views at each level. Michael our tour guide was amazing! He had great information to share, but more importantly he was so friendly and patient with our two year old grandchildren. We would highly recommend this tour and Michael and are thankful for the experience.

Blarney
The group met in the town of Blarney. Plan ahead to determine hours you will get there. We came from the cruise port so it was a 40- minute taxi ride. The group was small (a positive). The guide -Leonard - was knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We had group access to the gardens, but not to the castle. That was disappointing.
