          Cobh/Cork: Blarney Castle, Kinsale & Cork City Shore Tour

          This was a fantastic experience! Beautiful drive, well planned tour, very nice bus. No regrets at all booking this independently instead of through the cruise line. We went the same places the cruise line excursions did and had a much better value!  ... Our tour guide was excellent as well! Highly recommend!
