Our guide Richard was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable! This was the perfect way to see parts of the Irish countryside while staying in Dublin. The bus was comfortable and they gave us time to rest by dimming the lights at times since the tour starts early in the morning. They gave us enough time at each stop to explore. The castles were amazing!

Blarney Castle and its grounds was absolutely stunning. Our driver-guide Richard was hilarious and knowledgeable. The trip was great. The little stop in Cork was cute. The Rock of Cashel was very wrens and beautiful early on the morning. 100% recommend this trip with Richard.

I like that our tour guide is serious and responsible for getting us to the scenic spot safely. The only drawback is that the journey is a bit long and takes nearly 3 hours at most.

It was wonderful! I really loved the ruins of the church and Blarney. I think you could do the whole trip at those two places and skip Cork all together.

The guide Eduardo is amazing and very knowledgeable! I enjoyed this tour a lot! This is the best tour I had in Ireland so far.
