Fun Train Trip To Blarney Castle

4.00Our driver, Michael, was courteous and VERY skilled at driving a big, comfortable, well equipped bus. Our guide, Richie, was very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. It would have been helpful to know that the garden/grounds around Blarney Castle was very large. Our group of seniors would have done less exploring, and more bench sitting. The train ride was fun.Funbt
Excellent Guide and Recommended Tour!

2.00We were very disappointed that when we got to Blarney Castle there was a 90 minute queue. I didn’t feel this tour was worth the money, as we didn’t get any type of tour
