Blarney Castle is the best part - It was a lovely experience with a great tour guide. Got lots of time to spend around Blarney Castoe. Would have liked a little more time around Cork, but still got to enjoy some time there.

Great day in the country - I enjoyed exploring the two castles and shopping at the Wool Mill Shop. The Blarney Castle grounds were particularly notable with the autumn colours.

Worth it! - Shane was great - from the moment we checked in to saying goodbye, he has a warmth and sense of humor that made us feel comfortable, relaxed. and ready to explore. I enjoyed his music and stories as we drove. The bus ride was long but made stops every hour so we never felt like facilities and snacks weren’t available at the right time, Rock of Cashel was hauntingly beautiful and downtown Cork was lovely and fun. We went to the English market and explored while eating and lingering over great food and shopping. Blarney Castle was next and is stunning, don’t miss the fern garden, an unexpectedly magical place. The Mill at Blarney was exceptional. Best shopping I’ve seen for classic Irish woolen attire. Then we topped our travels off with a pint of Guinness at the next door pub. Thank you Shane and Paddywagon for a memorable trip!

What an excellent tour! Richard is just the best.... - This tour was so awesome! on our fourth trip to Ireland, we explored a bunch of different cities and joined in on various tours around the country. Richard was definitely the best tour guide we've ever had. this guy was not just fun to listen to, but he also had some really interesting things to say. Paddywagon tours gave us an amazing experience, and we definitely plan to come back soon. you should definitely check this out!

Once in a lifetime - Rock of Cashel was cool, as was cork, but the real breathtaking part was Blarney castle and gardens. While kissing the stone was cool, you could honestly spend an entire day exploring all the grounds jave to offer. Our tour guide gave great recommendations on food and drink for the area in Dublin.

Research before you go - This tour met my expectations. Just the right amount of time at each location. You need to do your homework on the history of these locations to understand what you are looking at because you are on your own.

Half an experience - Although I missed the bus at Cork and had to go to the train station and get a ticket back to Dublin for 47 euro the stop at the Blarney castle was great. Nice ruins and the bus driver gave a lengthy description about the place. Next stop was at Cork city, not much to see there as it was the Bank holiday and the British market was closed. I got lost and came 15 minutes late knowing that the bus will be gone by then. I never made it to the Rock of Cashel. 😀
