Blarney Castle & Gardens
Your afternoon adventure begins at historic Blarney, the site of Ireland’s most legendary fortress. We aim to arrive at 13:45, giving you ample time to explore the grounds and soak in the atmosphere.
Take the opportunity to ascend the battlements and lean back to kiss the world-famous Blarney Stone. From the castle's highest point, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the lush landscape—a vista so vibrant you’ll finally understand why Johnny Cash sang about the "Forty Shades of Green."
To keep your visit seamless and stress-free, we’ve included your admission ticket in the tour price. This allows you to walk straight in, bypassing the ticket kiosks and saving you EUR 24.00.
Before we depart at 16:00, be sure to visit the Blarney Woollen Mills. Located right next door, this iconic flagship store offers a premium selection of tax-free Irish crystal, knitwear, and traditional crafts to remember your trip by.

Cork
Departing the castle grounds, we transition into a panoramic tour of Cork City—often hailed by those who live here as Ireland’s "real capital"!
Cruising along the banks of the River Lee, we’ll point out the striking Gothic spires of St. Finbarre’s Cathedral, the landmark Shandon Bells, and the vibrant English Market, a cornerstone of local culture for centuries.
This is a city of icons. You'll learn about revolutionary leader Michael Collins, who negotiated the British Empire's departure from Ireland and Manchester United’s legendary captain, Roy Keane. We’ll also highlight the local heritage of Henry Ford; the man who "put the world on wheels" and whose family roots are firmly planted right here in the Rebel County.
