The bus was very late...

The bus was very late picking us up. Our guide, David, was okay,but wished he would have told us to go straight to the Castle to climb up. The line was very long and we didn’t have time to explore the rest of the grounds. I liked the places we went and would recommend this excursion.

Wonderful tour of Cobh in Cork with Patrick

Had a wonderful tour of Cobh with our guide Patrick and driver Schwab. Patrick provided interesting facts about many of the sites we toured as well as passed by. The Blarney tour was long, but the time was very much needed as there is so much to see at this vast property. Make sure you have comfortable footwear as you will need to walk a lot if you plan on seeing as much as you can. Many compliments to Patrick for his vast knowledge, humor and keeping things on time.
