What a day and an excellent driver and guide we had on May 16. While the driver talked a lot and sang all the way, yes really all the way, and back, he was nothing less than very interesting. He knew a lot about Ireland and we have enjoyed our trip to Blarneys Castle and all the other stops we made along the way. Great tour and grat driver.

Really enjoyed our trip to Cork. The Rock of Cashel was most interesting, and of course kissing the Blarney Stone at the Castle is a must! A wonderful surprise visit was Cahir Castle. Wonderfully preserved._br/_ Marilyn and John Lawrie, South Africa

This was a wonderful trip. Blarney Castle, Cahir Castle, and the Rock of Cashel were all wonderful attractions as expected. Our guide/bus driver was very well-informed and very eager to share all of his knowledge. Although this was wonderful and enlightening at times, he did become very repetitive throughout the day . The coach was very clean and comfortable. The driver/tour guide provided very clear directions on where and when to meet. The logistics ran very smoothly. One big issue I had: the trip was advertised as having a stop in Cork, but this was changed without any notice to Cahir Castle instead. I never received an email notification nor any explanation from the driver/tour guide as to why this happened. I was very excited to travel to Cork and was sorely disappointed when I found out we were not going, on the morning of the trip, on the bus. If you are looking to go to Cork, this tour will not take you there!

I highly recommend this tour. Our driver was fantastic, more like a tour guide, sharing local history as well as current events: the castles were amazing, the highlight being the grounds of Blarnery Castle. Cannot wait to return,

This trip was amazing! Our guide was wonderful and told some of the history of Ireland along with the history of the sights we went to. The bus was comfortable and the temperature was great as well. I would highly recommend this trip!

We had a great day visiting the south of Ireland. Amazing views. The castles are gorgeous but i especially enjoyed Rock of Cashel. Liam was our driver/tour guide. He was delightful. I want to come back and do it again!!!!

Great day! Great tour! The Extreme Ireland tour company actually changed this tour a bit from the title. Due to touring time constraints, there was no visit to Cork. This allowed more time to spend at the three castles: Blarney, Cahir, and the Rock of Cashel. Our tour guide, Noel, a retired school teacher, was a hoot! Very dry, but liked to sing to us. He was a very knowledgeable and enjoyable guide.

I only didn't give it 5 starts because the Cork portion of the tour wasn't very exciting. Our tour guide did tell us that they would no longer be taking the tour to Cork and instead doing another castle.

Very disappointed...booked this tour back in Nov . because the iternary stated it was spending time in Cork, city center..very upset changed without contacting me. We went to a castle instead. Not what I booked. However the blarney stone was awesome...Didnt like no wifi on bus when was stated it was available.Also was not a fan of this company using the bus driver as a tour guide too..

Alec was a great and informative driver/guide. He pointed out insider sites and kept us up to date on arrival times, bathroom breaks etc. We experienced a disappointment when we arrived at Cashel, walked up the hill to entry and was informed it was closed. Alec handled this obstacle like a pro! He went out of his way and drove us to Cashir so that we would get the inside of the castle experience. He said it was a bit of a test because he hadn't been there before but we so appreciated him taking a chance as we got to see 3 castles on this trip! With the 3 castles Cashel, Cashir and Blarney and the day trip to Cork it was a great tour.

So glad we did Blarney Castle, we almost didn't thinking it we be really cheesy don't know why I thought that. The super narrow winding stairs to the top of the castle were cool. The grounds were gorgeous and the underground caves were eerie but neat as well! Oh and the Waterfall! Beautiful!

I am so happy that I booked this tour with Viator ! The price was more than reasonable for all the places we stopped at. We seen more than we had expected. There was plenty of time at each site and we were not on the bus all day. Bud our driver was informative, thorough, funny and very courteous. We absolutely loved him. Next time in Dublin/Ireland I will defiantly choose this company.

I had a great time on this trip. The weather wasn't so great, but that's Ireland for you. It was still a wonderful time with good organization and just the right amount of time for each activity.

This was the best use of a day especially if you aren't familiar with the area and driving on the left. Everything went according to the schedule. Great value for what is provided. The coach was clean and comfortable. You have to watch your time at each location there isn't any time to waste.
