    As we had never been to Ireland, this tour from our ship docked in Cobh fit our needs very well. We had a private railcar just for our group, which quickly took us from Cobh to Cork, where we transferred to a large bus. We then proceeded to Blarney Castle, where we spent several hours walking the gardens. The castle itself is empty and the line to kiss the stone was 90 minutes. After souvenir shopping and a quick lunch at Woolen Mills, we were off through Cork to our final stop at St. Colman's Cathedral. Andrew, our guide, did an outstanding job with his driver optimizing our experience. Andrew was not only very knowledgeable and personable but very cognizant of the time, as our ship was leaving in the afternoon. We will definitely use Railtours again when visiting Ireland.

    Accessing the train to Cork was easy with the help of Andrew our guide. He also was very informative on the bus to and from Blarney Castle. To kiss the stone may require up to an hour and a half in line and to climb over a hundred steps. Your time is probably better spent strolling around the castle grounds. The tour ended in plenty of time to get back to the ship. The tour was definitely worth it.

    This excursion was a hit from the beginning. Checkin at the rail station was a breeze. From there Andrew was an awesome guide. We had an ample amount of time at the castle. Would recommend this to anyone.
