Blarney Stone Tour - Sdrian our driver and tour guide took us to the Blarney Stone. He was excellent, telling us a lot about Ireland, its history, land and people. I highly recommend him. We all had a great day!

Great day-trip. - Jonathan was great. Very entertaining. Blarney Castle was the highlight, but the other two were interesting also.

Unforgettable and amazing! - We covered a large part of the beautiful and historic parts of Ireland in this day trip. Barry made the trip a great experience and not only made the time pass by without notice, but taught a lot while in between stops. Extremely breathtaking, educational and unforgettable!!

Kiss the stone! - I found this tour to be really nice. I am an outdoor person and it’s everything that they promise you. Get ready to kiss that Blarney Stone!

Great experience - Great driver, great experience, great vistas, what more do you want, this review wants too much. This review is a pain in the butt, unlike the driver who was awesome..9

Micheal and Andre were awesome! Added very witty humor! Very polite! - Micheal and Andre were very polite and very entertaining! Made the long trim very enjoyable! Would love to have them along for the other tours we took!

Outstanding Tour by Adrian - Our tour with Adrian was outstanding! We had a wonderful trip two days before to the Cliffs of Moher, on which there was a driver and narrator. Adrian did everything himself on this trip! Both the narrating and the driving…expertly. We leaned a lot about each location and left feeling like we were satisfied with our time there. Adrian’s local knowledge made all the difference and we won’t forget this! Our trip was one of those once in a lifetime events. It was made better, no doubt, by this tour. Highly recommended!

Kiss the stone. If you want. - This castle was cool. I did kiss the Blarney Stone. They took photos and you could buy one for 10 Euros. I had a person in my group take a photo of me. There were explanations throughout the castle which is handy because the wait can be 30-60 minutes if you want to kiss the stone. I loved the poison garden.

Great trip - Our tour guide was very informative about all aspects of Irish history. The sites we visited were amazing! The only downside was the wait for Blarney.

The castles were awesome! The tour guide was not. - I would rate this 5 for the castles and 2 for the guide, who doubled as our driver. The castles were awesome! My favorite was the Rock of Cashel. The architecture is stunning! I felt we had enough time at Cashel and Cahir castles to explore and enjoy the sights. Cahir had great guides working at the castle. The one we got was informative, funny, and knew how to captivate his audience. At Cashel, there was a 20 minute intro video (that was probably made in the 80s lol) but we skipped that after 10 minutes because it just talked about the religious background rather than other interesting tidbits of history. Exploring the ruins was much more interesting, even though there weren't any guides to tell us the history. Blarney Castle was cool, and the grounds were huge! You could easily spend the whole day just exploring the grounds. I wish we had more time there. I think we only got 2 hours but that didn't seem like enough. We didn't make the trek up to kiss the Blarney Stone because the line was over an hour long and it wound up through a tiny claustrophobic staircase inside the castle. We felt it was perhaps over-hyped. Instead we explored the grounds because they were so peaceful, and we saw Blarney House. As for our guide/bus driver, we were very disappointed. The bus did not have working wifi or USB charging ports. Our guide did not have a mic to talk to us and the bus was huge so those of us who sat in the middle or back could not hear him at all. He didn't say much in any case. It was clear from talking to him one-to-one at the stops that he had a lot of information and history in his head, but he wasn't great at presenting that information to us. I was expecting commentary on the landscapes we passed in the bus, as well as introductions to the three castles we visited, but we got none of that. He was a nice guy, but was basically just our driver. He wasn't very good at herding us at the locations, either. We were often confused about where we were supposed to go once we got off the bus because he had to leave us to go park. It worked out in the end, but we'd have liked clearer communication. We ended up having the same tour guide the next day for the Boyne Valley Ancient Sites tour and he was still disappointing. We didn't even get his name after two days of traveling with him. Overall, we weren't impressed with Irish Day Tours if this is how all the tour guides are.
