City of Cork - We stayed in Cork for two nights. On the way from Dublin to Cork, we stopped at Rock of Cashel and Blarney Stone Castle. When we arrived we settled into our hotel and th3en went out for food and drinks. We ate a local fish n chips place that was super yummy and then went to a local pub for some drinks afterwards. The second day there we went to the Middleton Distillery which was so fun and not to far!

Too long and too many details. - He gave too many details. Hard to hear and more information than anyone needed to know. Would not book this again.
