WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Paddywagon Tours
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.
2. Rock of Cashel
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.
3. 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!
4. Blarney Castle & Gardens
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. Your entrance fee (EUR 13.00) is included in the price of this tour.
5. Paddywagon Tours
Tour ends in Dublin approx. 20:00 in time for evening entertainment.

I liked the tour. The rock of cachel is interesting. Cork has little to see but getting a meal and it’s close to Blarney which was pretty. Manageable time too for sites a ways off. Not much more to say about it

Richard O’Brien was our driver/guide. He kept the ride fun with his amazing stories and good music in between. He is an amazing driver and easy to get along with. The tour was well planned with a good amount of time at each stop.

Eduardo was very good at being flexible and on-time. He also provided several tips, tricks and knowledge along our journey- very funny. It's a long day of driving broken up so you can see the sites. Blarney Castle gardens were beautiful and well worth the trip

The trip was over over booked, so we lucked out with a private chauffeur van that was very comfortable and had a smaller intimate group following the main group.

Gerry was our tour bus driver, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny! He explained things in great detail and he played Irish music, which really got me into the mood. Some people cautioned me on taking long bus tours but everything was great. It was a long day but it went by since there was so much to do. Every place we stopped was beautiful, especially the Roch of Cashel and the Blarney Castle and grounds. I could’ve spent all day taking pictures of the gorgeous flowers! It got me interested in photography again. It was a spectacular day and I cannot say enough about it.

My husband and I visited Blarney Castle through Paddywagon Tours. Our guides/driver Shay and Dermott were wonderful! Excellent driving and commentary.
We had fun climbing to the Blarney Stone and walking the grounds. It was a great day!
