Blarney Kiss
New York City
Blarney Castle/Cork City Minibus Tour with National Tour Guide.
Clifford_J, Sep 2026
Blarney Kiss
Most of this tour is the trip up to Blarney Castle. The Castle, grounds and Blarney house are beautiful. You have to wait in line to kiss the Blarney stone which is at the top of the castle, so get in line as soon as you arrive and beat the crowds. That will give you time to explore the other sites there as well.

Best Day Ever!

Blarney Kinsale & Cobh Private Tour, Badge Of Excellence
Ashley_M, Sep 2026
Best Day Ever!
Derek is the man! Hands down, the absolute BEST tour we had on our entire trip!From start to finish, Derek was incredible. He was right on time, his car was spotless, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our group. He knows everyone in the area, knows all the best places to go (and, just as importantly, where NOT to go!), and made sure we had an amazing experience.But what really made the day special was Derek himself. He was respectful, kind, genuinely caring, and absolutely hilarious! His witty personality kept us laughing throughout the day, and it truly felt like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just a tour guide.Derek is an absolute gem of a person and made our day so memorable. We highly, highly recommend booking a tour with him! We will definitely be booking with Derek again when we return.THANK YOU, DEREK, FOR THE BEST DAY! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bryan did a wonderful job as the driver on our private tour. He listened to what we wanted to see and made great suggestions. He suggested Cahir Castle in addition to our list & it was definitely a great idea. He was prompt, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with traveling the Irish countryside.

Pleasant day…Avoided Blarney Castlehh UK
From a cruise ship. Early start driving through Cobh and countryside. Saw a couple of bays and forts…toured the Midleton distillery…Brian was a conversational companion and the Mercedes van was most comfortable. A pleasant day away from the big bus cruise tours and we were back at the port in plenty of time.

Private Ring of Kerry Highlights Tour from Cork, Car or Minibus
Don_C, Sep 2026
Ring of Kerry tour
My husband booked the Ring of Kerry tour for us. Our driver was Maurice. The day of our tour was very rainy and overcast. Even though Maurice had no control of the weather, he must have apologized 5 to 7 times. He was full of knowledge. He asked what we wanted to see, do and learn about. He took us to St. Finbarr’s Oratory just a beautiful, peaceful spot. We saw a couple waterfalls, many sheep and cows. We stopped for lunch in Kenmare cozy town great shopping, I recommend Irish Weavers for sweaters etc. Gorgeous and so soft. I strongly recommend this experience. It would’ve been a glorious day to see the sights and enjoy all the greenery had the sun been out but all in all still a lovely tour. Maurice is a wonderful man.

Cobh / Cork tour
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Private Tour from Cobh!Sean was an outstanding guide from start to finish. He picked us up right at our cruise ship in Cobh and was there early, which was a great way to start the day.He took us to some of the best sights around Cork and Kinsale. For me, the highlight was Old Head of Kinsale. The views from the cliffs were absolutely amazing and easily one of the most beautiful sights of our trip.Sean also took us somewhere I had never heard of before, the Kinsale 9/11 Garden of Remembrance. This was an incredibly moving stop. The garden was created in memory of the firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, with a tree planted in remembrance of each one. It is a place I think more people should know about and, in my opinion, an absolute must-see. 🇺🇸🇮🇪Sean timed our day perfectly. We even had enough time to stop for a pint at Kitty O'Se's in Kinsale, where we met some great local people and really enjoyed chatting with them. 🍺☘️From there, Sean made sure we arrived on time for our pre-booked Jameson Distillery tour in Midleton. What really impressed us was that Sean waited for us while we did the entire Jameson tour. When we finished, he was right there ready to take us back to Cobh and got us back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. As cruise passengers, having that peace of mind was huge. We never had to worry about the clock or getting back to the ship on time.The entire day was relaxed and never felt rushed. Sean was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly how to make the most of the time we had in port.If you're arriving in Cobh on a cruise and want to really experience Cork and the surrounding area instead of spending your day packed onto a big tour bus, I highly recommend Sean's Private Tours.Thank you, Sean, for an incredible day. This was definitely one of the highlights of our cruise! 🚢☘️🇮🇪

A truly unforgettable experience with Kinsalewow.ie.
We took a family trip last Saturday with a very special request — to place our loved one’s ashes into the water. This was an emotional moment for all of us, and it was handled with such care, respect, and kindness. He guided us gently through every step and created a peaceful, beautiful atmosphere that made the moment feel just right. The compassion, professionalism, and understanding he showed meant more than words can say. It wasn’t just a trip; it was a meaningful family experience we will always remember. Highly recommended.
