5.00Loved our day with Patrick today as we did a driving tour of Cork, and spent time in Kinsale and at Blarney Castle and Gardens with time for shopping (if desired) at Blarney Woolen Mills. We had time to walk around the cute town of Kinsale and eat lunch without rushing. At Blarney Castle, we could leisurely enjoy the castle, the gardens, the shops and grab a coffee or ice cream, again, without being rushed. I think that's what made this tour stand apart from others being offered. Patrick was very interesting and easy to understand during our time in the bus. He also answered all our questions about life in Ireland today. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to take this tour.
Highly recommend this tour

5.00Great service, well organized pickup, very nice bus and driver. The tour guide was knowledgeable and provided a professional and informative tour. They were very attentive to the cruise departure requirement and ensured we were back with ample time. There is a good balance of free time and guided time.
Busy brilliant day! Lovely scenery!

5.00Our guide was great. His information about the castle was very helpful and we had a very well planned day in Irish countryside. We really enjoyed Blarney Castle and we could have spent a whole day there lots to do and great shopping and would have enjoyed lunch there too. Kinsdale was a very cute place though and we had a great view from the interesting fort site. Well worth the money. Definitely understood the importance of getting us back to the ship on time.
A worthwhile port of call trip.

4.00This tour was similar to one offered by the cruise company, but at a much, much lower price. We picked this due to the level of ability (easy), as my Mother is not as sprightly as she was. We were met by Pat (our guide) at the entrance to Cobh port), and then went to the coach which was conveniently parked around the corner. The coach was modern and well equipped with air con and usb ports (if you needed to charge phones, etc.). The tour included stops of 2 hours at Blarney Castle (lovely grounds), and Kinsale (lovely fish at Dino's "chipper"), with a drive through Cork city between the stops. Pat was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic and kept the group engaged throughout. Kevin (our driver) navigated some of the narrower streets with ease. We would have given the trip 5 stars had we had either a brief stop in Cork, or longer at Blarney Castle - the drive through the city was a bit needless in our opinion. However, we would highly recommend the tour despite this.

5.00Excellent tour. Plenty of time at Blarney Castle to walk around. We decided not to walk up to the Stone, but our bus was the second one there so the wait wasn't long. Kinsale was beautiful and allowed plenty of time (about 2 hrs) to walk around, shop, and eat.
