Blanery Cork Tour - It was great weather, the driver was very good. Was able to keep me entertained at a level that was just right, not too wordy or too quiet.

Blarney Stone/Castle - Amazing! I was surprised that the stone wasn't sanitized after each kissing - but I didn't care, I had a blast!

Kiss the Blarney Stine - Fantastic sites and Blatney castle is unreal. Long day and wish for more time in Cork but a great tour. The bus driver/guide was the best.

This was such a fun time.... - This was such a fun time. We were worried about spending 12 hours in a bus on one of our vacation days but that is not what this trip was! We had a great tour guide named Alex who told us the Ireland history as we rode and we had plenty of time at each place we visited. So glad we did this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Ireland!

Don't miss Rock of Cashel - Don't miss a trip to Rock of Cashel!! I liked this stop better than Blarney Castle. We have all heard of Blarney, and when in Ireland, we all go there but I had never heard of Cashel. What a bonus that was!! It was the highlight of this tour for me. All photos are of Rock of Cashel.

Fantastic Day! - Our tour guide Aidan was fantastic! He shared the history of the sites we visited and also made us laugh throughout the day with his jokes. The coach was very comfortable.

The Cashel Rock and... - The Cashel Rock and Blarney Castle exceeded my expectations. Cork was nice but we were hardly there and only saw whatever pub we ate in.

A Way to See the Ireland Countryside! - Our driver, Richard, shared soooo many tidbits and facts about Ireland! It was extremely interesting and made the long morning drive go faster. Bathroom breaks were at just the right time and each stop had many options for foods, drinks and/snacks. They were quick stops in order to stay on time. There is a lot to cover on this tour and the drive is long. I enjoyed each stop and we had just enough time to see the sights. Our bus was full (as I’m sure each trip is) and as we headed back that afternoon, I couldn’t wait to end the trip! It was a long day and we were at the rear of the bus. My best tip…. arrive at the bus stop early to get a front seat!

Did what it said on the tin - While in Dublin we (friends) did three different tours and this was our least favourite. Yes, we got to see the Blarney Stone, the castle and Corke, but I wouldn’t go back to any of these spots. There wasn’t enough time to explore Corke (and it was much like any other city), Blarney Castle is a tourist trap, and the Rock of Cashel is beautiful, but really not all that exciting. Gerry, our driver and guide, was great! Considering he’s doing two jobs in one - he did a cracking job! But Paddywagon were the only tour operator we went with that didn’t provide a separate guide and driver. It’s a lot of responsibility for one person…
