Pass By: Paddywagon Tours, 34 O'Connell Street Lower, Dublin D01 EY17 Ireland
We depart Dublin @ 08:00, driving through the midlands down to Blarney, in the beautiful County Cork. We will pass through the Golden Vale, the most fertile lands in all of Europe with green fields as far as the eye can see.
Stop At: Rock of Cashel, Rock Vista Moor Lane, Cashel Ireland
Our first stop will be the world famous Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary. One of Ireland's most evocative sites, you can stroll in the footsteps of St. Patrick flanked by ruins, Celtic crosses and round towers. Feel the soul of Ireland. The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the Kings of Munster until they donated the complex to the Catholic Church almost 1,000 years ago for use as a cathedral. One of the best examples of medieval architecture anywhere in Europe. Your entrance fee (EUR 7.00) is included in the price of this tour.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Cork, Cork, County Cork
Enjoy one hour and thirty minutes at leisure in Cork city, Ireland's southern capital. Highlights include the gourmet English Markets (1788) with a large selection of food stalls representing the best of local produce. Queen Elizabeth II of England thoroughly enjoyed meeting local artisans here on her State Visit in 2011! Also known as the “Rebel City” for its fierce resistance during the War of Independence, Cork has a vibrant Irish atmosphere. Perhaps sample a pint of Murphy's Irish Stout or pick up a bottle of Paddy Flaherty Irish Whiskey.
Enjoy 1.5 hours exploring Cork City with your family and friends. Join us back on the tour and we will head for the majestic Blarney Castle!
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Blarney Castle & Gardens, Monacnapa, Blarney, Cork T23 Y598 Ireland
Famed in song and story, the Irish are famous for the “Blarney”. Kiss the Blarney Stone and you too will receive this “gift of the gab” - 7 years of eloquent speech. Situated on the battlements of Blarney Castle you will have to bend over backwards to kiss the stone! You have time to enjoy a stroll around the fabulous gardens of the Blarney Estate or maybe enjoy the beautiful Lake Walk. We also visit the Witches Cave in the castle grounds before having plenty of time to indulge in the tax free shopping haven of the Blarney Woollen Mills and craft shop.

Though it was windy and rainy (not unexpected however), the tour was awesome. Beautiful views, a charming Irish lad for a tour guide (Alec) , time enough at each stop and the weather cleared after a bit and the views were even better!!! Did I kiss the Blarney Stone? Heavens, I don’t kiss and tell!

My mother and I took a day tour from Dublin to Blarney Castle. We had such a great time. Our tour guide, Richard O’Brien, was fantastic. Personally, I loved his very frank and no nonsense attitude. The historical knowledge and personal stories he shared were engaging and left the listeners at the place of wanting to know more. As for the tour itself, it’s nice to get out of Dublin and explore the Rock of Cashel, Cork, and Blarney Castle. There was plenty of time in each locations explore but not feel bored. I would totally recommend this tour to others.

The whole day was great. Plenty of time at each stop to have a good look around. We had a wonderful driver Dave from Paddy Wagon Tours who was very informative and to top the day off we had the most perfect weather.

Even with it being a gloomy day, we still had a great time! Our guide, Frank, was fun and told a bunch of great stories while incorporating Ireland history. He organized a nice lunch for the entire group in Cork so that we had more time in Blarney. I recommend this tour!

The Castle and then the gardens were just magical. You really can get lost all day exploring the gardens. Wish we had more time to explore. Two hours was not enough, especially if you want to kiss the stone. It was nice meeting new people on our bus and listening to Franks seemingly endless stories.
