Cobh (Cork) to Blarney Castle & Kinsale - Shore Excursion
"We loved the Blarney Castle and grounds and our tour guide got us there early before the crowds. We had no lines and it was a 90 min wait for those arriving by the time we finished. Kinsale was a quaint little town and we had a nice lunch there but the castle was the high point of the day. Easy pick up and drop off, everything went very smoothly. Thanks for a great day!!"..."
