This was a great tour to take. Our guide was great and a must if you are visiting Ireland. To kiss the Blarney Stone you have to climb a lot of stairs in the castle,and lie down backwards. Cork was a quaint place to visit with an interesting market and shops.

Our guide was good, giving us lots of information and hstory about the sights on the way. The Wicklow Mountains are a sight to see and Glendalough was an ancient monastery site with 2 lakes around it. Simply beautiful, especially with the heather in bloom in August.

This was a great tour to book especially if you want to skip the long line-ups. It is a self-tour so you can take your time at each information cente. The only negative thing was the the long line-ups to get your free beer at the top floor and no where to sit because people are lingering there to take in the view long after they have finished their beer.

-some confusion at the airport
-we had to wait 45 minutes at the airport for a pick-up
-it took 2 hours from the time we landed to get to our hotel

Excellent service, pick-up was right on time, rreliable.
