Perfect Irish Day - This was an excellent way to see a lot in a short amount of time. Our driver, Tony Murphy met us right in front of the ship. He was so informative about the area and we had plenty of time to see the sights and shop as well and of course to have a bite to eat. Perfect day and I would recommend Tony for a tour guide.

Excellent! - Tony Murphy was an excellent guide for our all day excursion out of Cobh port. We spent most of our day in Kinsale and other areas for didn't want to stand in line at the Blarney Castle. He listened to us and gave us an enjoyable day with the sites he showed us and the information he provided about Ireland. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Personalized Tour - We set up a private tour for our family of 4 on May 25th when our cruise ship docked in Cobh. We had a wonderful driver who had a flexible itinerary planned yet let us dictate how we wanted to spend our day. We spent some time at Blarney Castle and the Woolen Mills BEFORE all the tourist buses arrived, then proceeded through Cork and spent time in Kinsale. Our driver was a wealth of information and even sang old Irish songs to us as he was driving. He learned that an ancestor of our family had sailed from the Port of Cobh on his way to America and went on to show us the remnants of the pier he sailed from and the ticket office he would've bought his ticket from. All I can say is Wow! He gave us suggestions to further our ancestry search and even said to contact him if we wanted some help from Ireland! What a fantastic driver and tour company. I would highly recommend their services.

Fun day - Our driver, Tony Bennett, was a good guide. We were a large group who wanted to see different sites and he managed to make us all happy! His sense of humour added to the fun! We had the best fish and chips ever in Kinsale!

We did a lot in a short amount of time, but also feel we missed the spirit of Ireland because everything seemed so rushed. For example, we kissed the blarney stone but there is so much more to Blarney that we did not see. Kinsale looked like a beautiful town, but two hours isn't enough time to eat AND explore. I think if we come back we would want a tour of just Blarney, or just Kinsale. With maybe stops in the little villages that we go through - you know, the ones that bring Ireland to mind.</p>
