Essential

The trip was great. Interesting stops but the spectacular thing is Mizen Head, yes it is worth 7.5 euros but I do not understand that you get there and do not pay them. If it would be great a little longer at the stops. Maybe coming back at 20, for example, I'd have time to really enjoy everything. Driver a crack.

Delightful Experience

Our driver was wonderful, explaining the agenda, telling local history along the way, and even treating us with a brief singing performance near the end of the trip. His narration made the longish travel times go by pleasantly. The country side and small towns on the way to Mizen Head were a highlight of our trip to Ireland. Definitely worth a day, and possibly in place of the touristy blarney castle.

The driver was very...

The driver was very professional and a magnificent guide. He informed us about all aspects of the excursion, the stops, the time available at each stop, as well as the history of all the sights we passed through. We had a day with typical Irish weather, some rain, clouds and some wind. The experience at Mizen Head was spectacular, seeing the waves break against the cliffs is something indescribable. There's no danger because the whole perimeter is fenced. If you have a drink in the visitor center do not miss the Chowder, delicious.

Journey to the cliffs

All right, the driver made the experience very enjoyable, but I would arrange the visit with more time on the cliffs.
