Full description

Set off on board a luxury, air-conditioned bus and watch Dublin's urban cityscape give way to the rolling, green hills of the Irish countryside. Drive through several areas of interest, including the Galtee Mountains and the Curragh in County Kildare, which is home to Ireland's National Stud Farm. First, arrive at Blarney Castle which is known around the world for its famous Blarney Stone. Kiss the stone and receive the “gift of the gab." Be sure to explore the rest of Blarney Castle as well as its lush grounds and woodland walks. Discover the scenic Rock Close by taking the Wishing Steps.  Depart Cork and arrive at one of Ireland’s 7 Wonders, the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary.

Explore the Hall of Vicars, Cormack’s Chapel, the Celtic Cathedral, the Round Tower, and the surrounding grounds filled with ancient high crosses. Admire one of Ireland’s oldest Romanesque wall paintings inside this world-famous historical landmark. For your final stop of the day, visit one of Ireland's largest and best-preserved castles, Cahir Castle. The Castle was built in the 13th century, to house the Butler family. Built as a defensive castle it still boasts a lot of the original structure.

Afterward, return to Dublin city center to complete your tour.

I can tell this was an excellent tour, wonderful destinations, great driver who was very entertaining and interesting. It’s no one’s fault that it poured rain like a monsoon the entire 2nd half of the day, so I’m at a bit of a loss to give more details.

This was my favorite tour in Ireland! Mostly because of our guide/driver Jonathan (John)! He was so knowledgeable, fun & laid-back! He made this tour & I learned so much & saw so much. The countryside is beautiful & the castles are amazing! Take this tour!!!

Three different castles in one day with three completely different vibes- I couldn’t even pick a favorite experience because they were all just amazing. Joe our guide/driver was very entertaining with his authentic Irish singing & his knowledge of the places we were visiting.
