Everyone wants the gift of eloquence, and some say the Irish have it, well, the gift of the gab anyway. So, how are they so blessed? It's all down to the Blarney Stone. For over two centuries people have been coming to Blarney Castle in the south ...

I'll start with the positive. The train was clean and on time. The tours covered lots of places of interests. The local tour that Railtours engaged in Killarney was well organised. The accommodation (I opted for B and B) was excellent. The negative part of this was that the Railtours itself seemed to be dis-organised. There was no introduction at the station so people were confused on what/where/who to do/follow. The tour guides from Railtours didn't introduce themself and let us know what the plans were. We found out by asking other tour participants. It's probably worth mentioning by the Railtour staff at the station that each has their own individual itinerary based on the type of tour that they chose. Luckily the tour participants had great sense of humour so we were just happy to tag along.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Our transportation and accommodations were great. It was an excellent way to see a lot in a limited amount of time. A great value. We would highly recommend it.

I didn't reailize that the trip was basically 4 day trips, but it worked out well. There was just a bit of a different flow because I basically had a different tour guide for the different days. I had Dave as my guide two days who was stellar. He went above and beyond, and was a treasure chest of information. He was very helpful with questions as well. Was a great way to see the scenic parts of Ireland packed into 4 days. Stayed at a great B and B in Kilarney with this tour called Robeen House. It was nice to see have the different day trips but have them all coordinated for me.

great way to see the south of ireland and see all the attractions . very well organised . did not realise this is a railway organised tour. this was not a problem and made no difference.
2nd day not enough information i thought on the tour .
great weather at the cliffs.
my only critisism was it was a long day driving but the driver was very fast for the first half of the day and i am sure he was unaware that the bus ride was becomong uncomfortable as you had to hang on as he drove . heard a few feeling sick complaints. it was to fast to take anything in. sorry to say but bus ride extrememly uncomfortable.

I definitely recommend this 3 day tour especially if you're short on time! Everything was wonderfully planned, we were never forgotten about, our pickups were always on time, our guides were wonderful (we especially loved Bob), the hotel they booked was gorgeous, they really take care of everything. Not only that, but for our Cliff of Moher day trip my sister and I were the only people on the tour and they didn't cancel! My only complaint is that the driver/guide on our Ring of Kerry tour seemed like he was in a bit of a rush (he was a wonderful guide, don't get me wrong; very friendly and knowledgeable. I blame half of his rushing on the other people on our tour, they also seemed like they were in a rush). I really can't say enough about how wonderful this company is. I would definitley book a trip from them again (and again)!

Rail and bus journey was great. Accommodation exceeded expectations. The B and B staff were courteous and accommodating. B and B was of a high standard. Tour guide was reminiscent of a school teacher though. Rushed trip back to town only to wait 2hrs in cold station didn't end on a high for us.Overall worth it.

Our guides were warm, wonderful people who took good care of us. The grounds at Blarney were stunning as was the entire Ring of Kerry tour. We loved our hotel in Killarney. We loved all the quaint towns we stopped in along the way. We will return to Ireland and book trips through Viator again!
