Rock of Cashel, Cahir & Blarney: A Perfect Day Trip 🏰🇮🇪 - We had a fantastic day exploring three of Ireland’s iconic castles in one tour: the Rock of Cashel, Cahir Castle, and Blarney Castle. The Rock of Cashel was self-guided, allowing us to explore at our own pace and take in the incredible history and views. Cahir Castle was a highlight of the day. We received a short guided tour, and it was fascinating to see how well-preserved the castle remains. The guide did an excellent job bringing its history to life. Blarney Castle was the final stop, and it’s definitely more of an adventure than I expected! Getting to the famous Blarney Stone involves a bit of a climb, and the actual experience of kissing the stone was nothing like I imagined. Let’s just say it takes a little courage and flexibility! Still, it was a memorable experience and well worth doing. All three castles were unique, beautiful, and absolutely worth visiting. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Richard. He was hands-down the best guide we had during our time in Ireland. His knowledge, storytelling, and sense of humor made the day even more enjoyable. He shared fascinating stories from his years of experience and kept the trip engaging from start to finish. One piece of advice: if Richard tells you what time to be back at the bus, listen! Be at least five minutes early. He runs a tight ship, and that’s one of the reasons the tour runs so smoothly. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience some of Ireland’s most impressive castles in a single day!

Kissing the Blarney Stone and more! - Thoroughly enjoyed the tour- three great castles with beautiful scenery along the way. Kissing the Blarney Stone crazy in the rain. Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle were awesome and so worthwhile. Tour guide Rob made the day. Highly recommend!

We'll go back and do the tour on our own - My husband and I took the Rock of Cashel, Blarney Castle and Cashir Castle tour with Kevin. He drove the bus and was our guide. He left exactly at 8 am and seemed like he was in a rush to get through the tour and get back to Dublin. We went to the Rock of Cashel 1st and then to Cahir Castle. We were supposed to get 1 hour at the castle but we're only given 50 minutes. There was not enough time to do the tour and see the whole castle as the tour itself took 40 minutes. On the way back we stopped at a rest stop and we're given 20 minutes. Obviously we took to long because Kevin came looking for us and told us we were holding everyone up. When we entered the bus he announced to everyone he found us. There is a way to handle situations and that was not it. We were not deemed "late" getting back to a bus with any other tour we took. We made it back to Dublin by 7:30. There was no reminiscing of the highlights. The description states this tour is 13 hours and 30 minutes. I feel we should have left at 7am like Wild Roover tours to allow the proper amount of time. We will not be using Irish bus tours again. We did not have this with Wild Rover tours.
