Giulia – Brazil

We loved our day trip! We had a lovely time with Ian, who talked us through every step of the way and shared a lot of his knowledge of the history of Ireland and the world, while being very kind to everybody. Paul was very nice too. Thank you for such a nice time.

We had a wonderful time on our day trip. Seeing the wonderful sights via train and local buses is the way to go; I highly recommend.

Full description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Dublin on a full-day tour south to the vibrant city of Cork. Kills the Blarney stone at Blarney Castle, admire Georgian buildings in the city center, and visit Cork Harbor to see a Victorian era train station and transatlantic terminal.  
Depart by train from Heuston Station in the early morning for the InterCity service to Cork City. Upon arrival, head to Blarney Castle, where you can kiss the famous Blarney Stone and acquire the gift of eternal eloquence.
Relax with some free time to shop and enjoy lunch in Blarney village. Head to Cork for a short city tour of Ireland’s southern capital, famous for its arts, music and literature scenes. 
Built on the site of a 6th-century monastic settlement, the city center is full of Georgian buildings, 17th-century alleys, and dynamic new architecture. Continue your journey along Cork Harbour to Cobh, location of the Queenstown Story Heritage Center. 
Set in a beautifully-restored railway station of the Victorian age, it was also the transatlantic terminal that served as the point of departure to the New World for generations of Irish emigrants, from the time of famine up to recent years.
Transfer back to Cork City center to catch your return InterCity train back to Dublin, with a scheduled arrival at Heuston Station at in the evening.

Theresa – FranceFebruary 28, 2025 – Verified booking
This trip was amazing on its own.... The castle and surrounding grounds were magical, lush and green and Cork was charming, but the best part of our trip was our guide, Andrew. Andrew had a quiet charm and made sure he spent time with each of us, shared interesting stories and ensured we were well informed. Andrew had such an aura of calm, never rushing anything but still somehow we met all of our timings, that I was sad when we parted.
