Blarney, Rock of Cashel & Cahir Castles Day Tour

It’s a long day but so worth it. Our driver, Richard O’Brian, was incredible and made the trip so fun. He gave us a history of Ireland that we would have otherwise never received. He was also very transparent and gave us a pre warning about the uphill areas and kept us on time so we could all enjoy a good amount at each location.

The weather we had was everything IRELAND had to offer except for high heat and freezing cold, everything in between was given - dress in Layers and bring a windbreaker/rain coat. The tour guide we had - BOBO- was absolutely brilliant in locations, histories, and personally funny stories. The tours of the castles and self guided tours were perfect. Explanation of time allowed at each sight, pick up/drop off locations were shown and easily found. You will need a full daily tours 3-20+ times to say you enjoyed and have seen some of the sights of Dublin Ireland itself. The tour buses we road on were clean, comfortable, quiet and had space for a larger traveler to sit and enjoy the passing scenery. The only bad part of all the tours -time - it will get away from you and then your running to the bus, being the last one to get on as everyone else is waiting on you… Bobo- Thank you for your knowledge, happy wishes for a long happy marriage and life. Bendiciones, salud, amor y vida (blessings, health, love and life) from Marcus and Michelle. Until next time.

The tour was great! Bobo was a great guide who even sang for us on the bus. He was excited to show us around and tell us the history of this country. Price was fair & times at each stop didn’t feel rushed. Thanks for the amazing time!

Best experience we have had in Ireland! Joseph was so kind, so uplifting and taught us so much. We absolutely loved it and had the most craic you could ever get. Thank you for a wonderful time and continue being you! Everyone who want to experience all of the beauty of Ireland from the scenery to the people living here, will not be disappointed by this tour.

The morning started out in Dublin with the tour company picking up the small group scheduled for the tour on time and we didn't have to wait around for any late arrivals. Pick up area was easy to locate and a nice open space away from the main road, but make sure to give yourself time to walk or catch a ride. The drives were long, but thats to be expected when you are traveling long distances to visit some amazing sites. The tour guide, Joseph, filled the drive time with stories, folk songs, and an overall great conversation and history lesson on the places we were set to visit and Ireland as a whole. Made a quick stop along the way at a service station for toilets and a quick snack, plenty of time as the station wasn't crowded. Then onwards to the first stop of Cashel, which wasn't crowded since we left early and beat some of the other crowds/tours heading that direction. Got plenty of time to explore around the ruins of the cathedral before making our way to Blarney, where the crowds were a little heavier then normal for the season due to a cruise ship being in the port of Cork. Grounds were spectacular and walking up to the top of Blarney Castle to kiss the rock is an experience if you've got the time. Luckily, the line wasn't super long while our group was there, but they clearly have it set up to accommodate for a decent line during busier seasons. If you are nervous about hanging over backwards to kiss the rock at the top, they have individuals to assist and hold onto you to prevent slipping. Take time to explore the grounds around the castle as well. Last stop of the day was Cahir Castle, which was an amazing history lesson of the area from the castle guide. The long drive back was filled with music, more history, and fun with the group of people on the tour. Would highly recommend this company as they put on amazing tours and the guides are knowledgeable and funny, making those long drives less boring!
