Traveler reviews
Great guide!
Maryna’s demeanor and enthusiasm made the tour very enjoyable. She was informative and well prepared.
Great tour with a great guide!
Maryna clearly knew her way around Blarney and the castle grounds, with so many lovely spots to stop and admire the scenery and take photos. The castle itself had a bit of a line when we arrived, and she suggested going around the gardens instead and coming back (the tickets are good all day) and she was right - by early afternoon there was no line at all and we could get straight in. But the grounds and gardens are the unexpected best part of the tour, and Maryna was fun and interesting with lots of insights! And she'll help you with taking group photos! Highly recommended
