Great a day road trip - The castle and entertained by our tour guide with his knowledge and jokes! if only the meeting point can be improve; at least sponsor a bench with "PaddyWagon" sign so that everyone are not frustrated searching for the meeting spot. If possible, please add Irish song/music in between instead of silence. For example like the Rabbie Tour in Glasgow.

Tour Guide made this day and the countryside beautiful. Must do tour. - JJ the guide was excellent we only had 6 on the tour which was great as it was very relaxed no rushing. The snow fall stopped us going to the first castle but I am not complaining as it meant we got to stop at the bottom of the hill and play in the snow which was the highlight for me. Kissing the Blarney Stone as scary as it was just made the trip.

Snow made it difficult - Frank was entertaining and was very friendly. Although I didn’t like that it was snowing so we didn’t get to see Rock of Cashel but that was Mother Nature ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶

Best Castles! - I loved the tour and our driver Sean was not only informative but enjoyable. The castles were probably the most impressionable I’d seen. The city of Cork is beautiful. We were only there an hour, which for me was enough for a quick stop. Reality is, that if you want to see more of the city you need to at least stay 1-2 days. The whole day was outstanding and I would recommend this tour and driver. So far Paddywagon tours have been very favorable. I have not been disappointed.

Very nice (long) day - It was a great tour! I loved that we got to see both the countryside and the city. It is a long day though (~12 hrs), so be mentally prepared for that.

Dublin to Blarney Castle & Cork - It’s a long trip but worth it to see Blarney Castle. It was too cold and icy to do the Rock of Cashel which was disappointing but no one’s fault. Bus driver and guide, David, did a great job. If we did it again I would probably skip Cork as we really only saw the food court on the water.
