“Coileán was an excellent guide and driver!! We highly recommend this trip to anyone interested as you see so much on this day trip but have plenty of time to visit each at each site. Coileán was friendly, patient, and funny! We had so much fun!!.“
STEFFAN
“This was our second trip with Jonathan, and as expected, he didn’t disappoint. He was charismatic, charming, and shared an incredible depth of historical knowledge about the places we visited—all with a great sense of humor. Blarney Castle was absolutely incredible. The bus itself was comfortable and modern—having charging stations at each seat made it easy to take as many photos as we wanted without worrying about phone battery life. The itinerary was well-paced, with just the right number of stops to break up the driving. It was a truly wonderful day, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Blarney Castle, kiss the stone, and enjoy the stunning Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle.“
