Dublin to Rock of Cashel, Cork City & Blarney Castle Guided Tour

3.Dublin to Rock of Cashel, Cork City & Blarney Castle Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,536 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $95

Travel from Dublin to the Rock of Cashel, Cork, and Blarney Castle on a 12-hour Paddywagon tour. You’ll get live commentary, castle and Rock of Cashel admission, free time in Cork, gardens, the Blarney Stone, Wi-Fi, and USB charging on the bus.

“Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. Pick up and drop off were clearly located. He took care of the admission process since ticket prices included in tour. Rock of Cashel was great! Quick visit. Our driver gave us more time at Blarney castle which was nice because you really need 2-3 hours just for castle and grounds. And that really doesn’t give you time for any shopping. (And we were there in off peak season.) I would recommend packing a lunch if you want to get the most out of your time. In my opinion, the visit to Cork was a waste of time unless you have something specific…”
