    We are new to Ireland and were told by friends that we needed to get out of Dublin for a day to really get a feel for it… so that is what we did, and they were right! We booked a tour that was 13 hours long and thought we were crazy, but the day was so fun. Maris is a great driver. He is kind, and friendly, and gave us lots of suggestions for places to eat and where to buy our castle tickets in advance. The Blarney castle has been my favorite castle so far, and yes, we kissed the Blarney Stone. The grounds are so beautiful and we took some beautiful pictures in front of the castle and on the stairs to the Blarney Stone. Maris, then took us to Cork for lunch and some shopping, and then our final stop was in Kilkenny before heading back to Dublin. It was a great day! If you take this tour as for Maris!

  • Day of Castles!

    John was a great guide/driver! He was flexible to our schedule and interests, and had some suggestions to customize our day and maximize our exposure to this area of Ireland! He even suggested we adjust schedule to see Kilkenny Castle which was a gorgeous highlight! Great day spent seeing Blarney Castle and the Blarney Stone, Cork, Rock of Cashel, and Kilkenny! Highly recommend John and seeing these stunning castles!
