5Best Tour of Blarney you’ll ever get!
Marina is such a wonderful guide. She gave us so much interesting information and made everything just an adventure for us. We knew a little of the story going in but you get so much to see and remember from her tour. One of the best times we’ve had in Ireland.
5Anne all the way for your tour guide!
Excellent tour of the grounds and castle. You have to kiss the stone, and especially have Anne as your tour guide! She has a wealth of knowledge and is an excellent story teller!

5Beyond Excellent, Fun, informative and engaging.
Maryna was an excellent guide who went above and beyond. She attend to each of the 12 guest needs. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
5Amazing and Fun Blarney Castle Tour
The Blarney Castle tour is so much more than a simple tour. We walked through Blarney Village and learned a bit of history and then went onto the castle grounds. We walked the beautiful gardens and learned so much more than just the castle. Of course we kissed the Blarney Stone and enjoyed the castle architecture and fantastic views at each level. Michael our tour guide was amazing! He had great information to share, but more importantly he was so friendly and patient with our two year old grandchildren. We would highly recommend this tour and Michael and are thankful for the experience.

About Cork
Cork is Ireland's second city, a river town of steep lanes, a covered market, church bells and a strong food reputation.
Cork centres on an island in the River Lee, with channels of water, bridges and a mix of Georgian streets and Victorian shopfronts. The English Market, a covered food hall that dates to 1788, sells fish, cheese, spiced beef and baked goods. St Anne's Shandon has a tower topped by a golden salmon, and visitors can ring its bells. St Fin Barre's Cathedral rises in the French Gothic style.
