This tour was great! Driver/guide Ian was fantastic. He was a local who was very knowledgeable and told great stories of the area. Blarney Castle grounds are absolutely stunning and the addition of the Kinsale visit was also lovely. Can't recommend this tour enough! We did this as a shore excursion on a cruise and it was better/included more than any ship excursion and cost much less.
Thank you E Coach for a great tour, the guide was fantastic and took us to a lot of places and recommended great options for lunch and shopping. We beat the cruise ship crowd and were able to go up Blarney Castle very quickly and kiss the stone
Great trip! they picked us up right at the ship. Easy to find the person waiting for us. Spent the day touring the area. Lots of time allowed to visit at each location. Great tour guide. really knew the area and full of information. thanks!
