Cork and Blarney Castle Rail Trip from Dublin

Spectacular tour. From beginning to end, this full one day tour was an experience we will never forget.
We went in October but still had decent weather... it must have been my Luck O thee Irish!
I finally kissed the Blarney Stone! It's a MUST do and so enjoyable!!

Our trip was wonderful. Our guide Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history which made the tour that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip!

I thought this was the perfect tour for us since we were just spending a long weekend in Ireland. This easily got us out to the countryside to see more than just Dublin. The only disappointment was that there was some road construction or another reason why we could not spend time in Cork but we went to a port city and spent more time there and it was great. The guide was fantastic and was familiar to one of the fellow tourists and she definitely was keen on him. They are very organized which is helpful given the timing of the day. The bus driver was also fantastic and that is always good. Our tour groups two together had an entire train car to ourselves and the two guides made us feel very comfortable and they came around and talked to each of the groups/couples/singletons which is a nice touch, I think. The price was reasonable, too.

Excellent all around. Tour guide was wonderful! No changes needed. We also had beautiful weather which was so appreciated although beyond anyone's control.

We had a fabulous time on our trip. Andy our guide was very helpful, informative, and funny. He even sang some songs for us. The tour was extremely organized from the start to the end. It was a long day but so well worth it. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone going to Ireland for the first time. We loved the comfort of the train with the bathrooms which is important on a long trip. We absolutely loved the beautiful scenery, and we loved the amazing history. It is now a wonderful memory for us. Thank you!!

Great tour...don't forget to kiss the Blarney Stone!

The train ride was pleasant and we got there early enough so the line wasn't too long. Was able to kiss the Blarney stone without too much difficulty just FYI it was not as I expected. Had time to eat lunch at a restaurant. Would've like a little more time to wander through the shops, but all in all, it was a great trip. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing trip! Blarney castle and grounds were beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

This tour was amazing!

The rail trip from Dublin to Cork is a comfortable and efficient way to travel the countryside. Blarney Castle is much more than kissing the stone. We enjoyed exploring the rooms off the spiral stairway, hiking the lake trail to get a real feel for the Irish shades of green, and taking photos around the grounds. The stop at the Queenstown Story in Cobh Harbour was a special treat for our family because our grandfather sailed from that port. Family history and castles and beautiful scenery all in one smooth trip!
