First, Adrian was an amazing tour guide, that took the time to tell us about his home and the island’s history. Second, as an Irish/American, I couldn’t help but feel the steps my ancestors took on this tour. Well worth every penny!

The high point of the day was the tour guide/driver. He was pleasant, informed, entertaining and everything anyone could have asked for. He kept us together without pressure and complemented the tour with excellent historical and anecdotal commentary. You should be proud of the excellent job he did for and with us. After all, the castles will always be the same but its the quality of the tour guide that makes the difference and this young gentleman was superior to almost any I have experienced with other tours in other places.

Excellent tour. Adrienne was our driver/tour guide. He was exceptional!!! Knowledgeable and passionate about history of Ireland. I learned so much. He is witty and humorous. Thought 12 hours would seem too long, but he filled in the drive time with interesting stories. Best tour I’ve ever been in. Thank you Adrienne.

The castle tours themselves were a 5 star experience, but I knocked one star off as I found our driver Adrian to be a bit crass and did not cease to talk and/or sing throughout the entire time on the road. Although I appreciate the engagement and information shared about what we were passing by/seeing, some breaks in between for some quiet would have been appreciated. I would say not to let this stop you from this tour though, it was a great value and Blarney Castle alone made it worth it, the grounds & structure itself were absolutely stunning. Bring good footwear and rain gear!

Impressive history delivered by a witty, informative, warm and approachable guide (Paul) permanently stamped the stunning antiquities, and rolling countryside in our collective hearts ❤️. Regardless of the weather, do not hesitate to take this diverse and scenic tour. Blarney Castle and Cashel Rock are as impressive in their role of Irish Heritage as they are stunning photo opportunities. The gardens at Blarney were ENCHANTING despite the rainy weather….. Will not hesitate to recommend, nor REPEAT on a next trip for more time on the gardens….. One could easily spend a day exploring it’s wondrous attractions in every corner…. Hope this helps :)
