Excursion d'une journée au château de Blarney au départ de Dublin incluant la pierre de Blarney
Nous partirons de Dublin à 08:00, en roulant à travers les Midlands jusqu'au château de Blarney, dans le magnifique comté de Cork. Nous traverserons la Golden Vale, les terres les plus fertiles de toute l'Europe avec des champs verdoyants à perte de vue. Nous profiterons de superbes vues panoramiques sur les montagnes Galtee en traversant le comté de Tipperary jusqu'au sud du comté de Cork.
Rock of CashelNotre premier arrêt se fera au célèbre Rock of Cashel dans le comté de Tipperary. L'un des sites les plus évocateurs d'Irlande, où vous pourrez marcher sur les traces de Saint Patrick, bordé par les ruines, les croix celtiques et les tours. Ressentez l'âme de l'Irlande. Le Rock of Cashel était le siège traditionnel des rois de Munster jusqu'à ce qu'ils en fassent don à l'église catholique il y a presque 1 000 ans pour servir de cathédrale. Un des meilleurs exemples de l'architecture médiévale en Europe. Votre prix d'entrée (7 EUR) est inclus dans le prix de cette excursion.
La ville de CorkProfitez d'1 heure et demie de temps libre dans la ville de Cork, la capitale du sud de l'Irlande. Les points forts de la ville incluent les marchés anglais (1788) comprenant un vaste choix de stands alimentaires représentant le meilleur des produits locaux. La reine Élisabeth II a aimé rencontrer les artisans locaux lors de sa visite en 2011 ! Également connue comme la « ville rebelle » pour sa résistance pendant la guerre d'indépendance, Cork offre une atmosphère irlandaise animée. Dégustez une pinte de Murphy's Irish Stout ou prenez une bouteille de whisky irlandais Paddy Flaherty.
Le château de BlarneyLes Irlandais sont connus pour le « Blarney », rendu célèbre en chanson et histoire. Embrassez la Pierre de l'Éloquence et vous recevrez à votre tour le « don de l'éloquence » pour 7 ans. Située sur les remparts du château de Blarney, vous devrez vous pencher la tête en bas pour embrasser la pierre ! Vous aurez le temps de profiter d'une promenade dans les fabuleux jardins de la propriété du château de Blarney ou peut-être de profiter de la magnifique balade au bord du lac. Nous visiterons également la grotte des sorcières sur les terres du château avant de disposer de suffisamment de temps pour nous laisser tenter par des achats hors taxes au paradis du shopping Blarney Woollen Mills et sa boutique d'artisanat. Votre prix d'entrée (13 EUR) est inclus dans le prix de cette excursion.
DépartLa visite se termine à Dublin aux environs de 20:00, à temps pour le divertissement de soirée.

We all really enjoyed this day. Barry the tour bus driver was excellent and kept us entertianed and advised regarding the history of things. Great value for money
Amazing trip. So much fun. Love the stories and singing together. Plenty of time to look around on your own or shop.
When we arrived it was raining, then the clouds cleared, the sun came out, just in time for my boyfriend to propose on top of Blarney Castle.
Our first trip in Ireland. We enjoyed it a lot. Rock of Cashel was impressive. One suggestion: instead of the short stop in Cork, please extend the time at Blarney Castle as the line to get to the stone was too long and we would have liked to walk a little around too.
Had a great day with just the right amount of breaks through out the day and lots of time at each attraction
This was an amazing tour that I would recommend anyone visiting Ireland do. Our guide Paul was very informative and fun and really made the day great. The gardens at Blarney castle are beautiful and well worth the visit alone. Kissing the Blarney Stone is also a great experience, and is a must do if its not too busy.
We really enjoyed this tour, it was myself and my daughter. We got to see some of the things we really wanted to see. Rock of Cashel is great with the correct amount of time there, Blarney Castle was great too, enough time to see the grounds also, wasn't crowded at all the day we were there and then Cork City, my daughter wanted to go here but there isn't all that much time there, would have liked a bit more time there. We would do this tour again, driver was very nice. We had a good day weather wise so that helped too. Both non city places were beautiful.
Our group of 6 took this tour with Paddywagon tours. Our guide was Barry. Disappointed to say the least. Each stop was so rushed and limited that most people couldn't possibly see or do another other than quickly snap a photo or two. Blarney Castle had a 60 minute wait to reach the stone and we had just 75 minutes to do it all. The longest stop was at a rest area on the return trip to Dublin. Our guide, Barry was on his cell phone 90 of the trip, conducting personal business - so much for the commentary? He was not at all engaging or involved with his tour. Such a waste of a nice day.
We were very happy with this tour. Our driver, Richard, was funny, engaging, and gave us lots of helpful information. We loved seeing the Rock of Cashel as well as spending time at the English Markets in Cork. The Blarney Castle was the highlight with its beautiful grounds and stunning views from the castle itself. We waited an hour to kiss the stone, but we still had plenty of time to explore the grounds as well as shop at the Blarney Wool Mills. I would highly recommend this tour!
Tour run by Paddywagon was terrible. First, it was a complete cattle-call when getting on the bus. No one checked us off, no one ensured we had tickets, etc. We got on our bus and the driver said the company had overbooked the tour and that 10 people not yet on the coach would not be going. Then we found that the bus not only did not have WiFi as promised (not make-or-break, I know), but the air conditioning was broken. The 12-hour tour was made with no AC. The first stop at Rock of Cashel was not worth it... could have easily been skipped. The ONLY highlight of this tour was getting to kiss the Blarney Stone. Our stop at Blarney was only 2 hours, and it was an hour in line to wait to kiss the stone. I would have liked more time at Blarney. Then we went to Cork after—our driver dropped us off and didn’t give any suggestions for our one-hour stop in Cork... and then mentioned there was nothing to do. He was right. Overall I wish I would have just rented a car and gone to spend the day at Blarney Castle without the terrible experience that this tour was.
