Three great castles in just one day!

This tour is great if you want to see Blarney Castle and other important cites that aren’t too far from it. The tour guide, Bobo, was great with keeping things moving and interesting! We made every castle in good time and I felt satisfied that I saw everything I wanted.

Great tour

So fun. The stairs up to the top are VERY narrow but it’s amazing at the top. The mine was about 30 min wait. Our tour guy Tom was great.

Highly Recommend!

Rock of Cashel was gorgeous and we loved the countryside. Cahir Castle was great, however would have been better to spend less time there and more time at Blarney Castle. If you do this tour, take a lunch with you so you can spend more time exploring Blarney Castle and its grounds instead of finding something to eat. It’s gorgeous! The tour overall was awesome and highly recommend it.
