Welcome to our Guided CORK 1 DAY TOUR from Dublin City.

This tour includes; Blarney Castle, Cork City & The Rock Of Cashel

OVERVIEW

Jump aboard our guided tour bus and meet like-minded, inquisitive fellow travellers.

Dublin is great, but the countryside is greater, so come along and see a different side to Ireland. In addition to seeing the lovely countryside, we will be stopping over at various spots of historic significance, making it an interesting and informative day, with a hint of good old-fashioned Irish craic for good measure. Meet the city with the funniest and some say sexy accents in Ireland. Listen to words such as "langer" and "ye boyo". It's almost like they are singing when they are talking to you. Personally, I find the Cork accent sometimes hard to understand, but for a real insight to this have a look at this website Cork Slang

Our tour guides are keen to tell you all about the Irish countryside, history and folklore. On the 1 day trip to Cork, we visit the Blarney Castle, famous for the Blarney Stone, which guarantees you to become a smooth talker when you kiss it! In Cork City, there are a myriad of things to do. Please see our "Of Special Interest" and "History" sections for more details. Last, but not least, we visit the Rock of Cashel, historical seat of the Kings of Munster, perched atop a gigantic rock in the lonely countryside.
