Make the most of your Cobh adventure

What makes Private Tour of Blarney Castle, Kinsale and Cork a unique experience ?

We start our day from your Cruise ship in the beautiful town of Cobh or your Hotel In Cork City. We start our tour and make our way to the amazing Blarney Castle.

Our first stop is the amazing Blarney Castle which is one of the strongest surviving tower houses in Ireland. It is the most famous for The Blarney Stone, also called the stone of eloquence located atop the tower, which carries with itself the belief of granting the gift of eloquence to the person that kisses it.
Blarney Gardens are one of the most famous spots in The Blarney Castle. Blarney has over 60 acres of sprawling parklands which include gardens, avenues, arboretums, and waterways. There are over 10 types of Gardens available on the premises which people take significant interest in according to seasons.

We leave Blarney Castle and only a short few minutes away we visit the world famous Blarney Woollen Mills. Originally established in 1823, Blarney Woollen Mills has become a staple of Cork retail. A family run Irish business since its beginnings nearly 200 years ago. Blarney Woollen Mills is synonymous with excellence; expect an exemplary level of care, outstanding personal service and a truly unique selection of the best of Irish design. This is the perfect place to get a gift from Ireland and enjoy a drink and take in the atmosphere before we make our way to Kinsale.

Located at the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, Kinsale town is famous for its colourful streetscapes and rich history, fuelled by great people, food, boutiques & events.

Visitors to Kinsale are captivated by its spectacular waterfront setting and mediaeval influences. Brightly coloured buildings vie for attention with the glorious harbour which sustains the town. Originally a medieval fishing port, the coastal enclave of Kinsale (from the Irish, Ceann tSaile – ‘Head of the Sea’) is fabled far and wide for its beauty and rich history. Recently hailed by Conde Nast as one of Ireland’s most beautiful towns, it consistently punches above its weight.

As we end our amazing tour of Cork We arrive at the town of Cobh. It’s known as Titanic’s last port of call in when it departed in 1912. You will see where the passenger boarded. You will see the amazing Cathedral Church of St Colman, usually known as Cobh Cathedral, or previously Queenstown Cathedral and the famous deck of card houses. Finally I will bring you back to your Cruise ship or Cork City hotel and until we meet each other again I will wish you a safe onward journey.
