Dublin · BLARNEY CASTLE & CORK TOURS
Cork is far enough south that most of these run long: a very full day by coach, or two to four days by rail with overnights included. The 15 below make the length obvious first, then compare price, castles covered and what the fare includes.

“I appreciated the passion for the own country's fellowmen, history and traditions shown by the guide Eden. The personal "touch" added value to an already exciting itinerary. I would highly recommend the tour to people that come from, or love to think about, small nations / communities, often sacrificed by the greed for influence and power of the big world order and balance setters.”
Review of the Dublin to Cork, Blarney Castle and Cobh train tour, with practical advice on timing, value, crowds, guides and what to expect.
“The train ride was awesome Brian and Sean were great tour guides. A bit frustrated with the bus ride …. There were warning signs coming from drivers dashboard that appeared to be ignored by the driver until the bus came to a screeching halt on a hill. With an hour and a half waiting for another bus, our remaining tours were hurried . That was disheartening. I would welcome a bit of a refund for this tour.”

“It was great! The guide really gave us so much information and he was hilarious. Going to the market for lunch was a great choice and he gave easy directions. I was solo and there were a lot of other solo travelers so never short of someone to talk to. The views and sights were perfect as well and I learned a lot. Thank you! Highly recommend”

“I cannot say enough about this tour, and I highly recommend it. Our tour guide Andy from RAILTOURS IRELAND FIRST CLASS met us as we boarded our train in Dublin, was very attentive, informative and fun the entire trip. He was very organized, fun and informative, and we loved his singing of various Irish songs on the bus portions of our tour. I give it a 10 out of 10. Don't miss this one if you go to Ireland.”

Review of a 4-day Ireland rail and coach tour from Dublin, with Blarney Castle, Kerry, Dingle, the Cliffs of Moher, and Galway Bay.
“I had the most wonderful time on my tour. My guide for day one and four was Norman and he was truly fantastic! His stories and wealth of information made for a truly enjoyable tour. My only request was that I wish our tour was able to spend more time at Cliffs of Moher and in Galway.”
See Blarney Castle, Cobh, Cork, and the Ring of Kerry on a two-day rail and coach tour from Dublin with a night in Killarney.
“This two day tour was definitely NOT worth the price. The B and B they picked for us was two-star at best. Musty odor in room, long walk to town. We discovered that nicer and more convenient B and B's were available but the Ireland-based tour operator obviously wanted to save money! When I complained about the room, our host, was no help at all. Just told us to take it up with management. But he stayed at a 4-star Hotel in town center. Also, some stops were just a waste of time, such as an hour-long stop at a local cemetery! Who wants to visit a cemetery on vacation?.…”
