This was a great day trip. The guide Phillip was awesome. He was fun, energetic and very knowledgeable. Plenty of time at each location to explore and get some great photos. You can take a full day just to visit the Blarney Castle so use your time wisely while there. If you want to kiss the stone, make that your first stop if it's busy as it can take an hour or so just for that. The Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle are both very interesting and beautiful stops. The Rock of Cashel was self guided with a short video. Cahir Castle had a guide for short time and then plenty of time to explore on your own. Just be warned, there are no toilets on the bus. In the morning they will stop about an hour into the trip for a quick break and snack. Another stop about an hour or so later at the Blarney Castle for your visit, lunch and shopping. The trip back to Dublin is the longest stretch with no stops, just over 2 hours.

It was a great day, loved Blarney Castle and the beautiful gardens, Cahir castle was magnificent! We have had been on other tours out of Dublin and do prefer when there is one driver and one guide, not sure if one person doing both jobs cuts down on the experience. Besides washrooms being closed at our first stop and no washrooms on the bus, unlike the other tour buses we were on…. That was really the only downfall! We enjoyed otherwise very much!

Three different castles in one day with three completely different vibes- I couldn’t even pick a favorite experience because they were all just amazing. Joe our guide/driver was very entertaining with his authentic Irish singing & his knowledge of the places we were visiting.
