Loved this trip! The guide was very nice and so helpful. Provided great information, told in entertaining ways. Nice amount of time in each location, though I would have preferred to explore Cork better. The Marina Market was wonderful for food, but the English Market didn't interest me at all. I'd suggest an option to explore other areas during our time their and maybe meet at the market for pickup. Loved Blarney Castle and Rock of Cashel!
