Blarney Castle & Gardens
Our first stop is the amazing Blarney Castle which is one of the strongest surviving tower houses in Ireland. It is the most famous for The Blarney Stone, also called the stone of eloquence located atop the tower, which carries with itself the belief of granting the gift of eloquence to the person that kisses it. Blarney Gardens are one of the most famous spots in The Blarney Castle. Blarney has over 60 acres of sprawling parklands which include gardens, avenues, arboretums, and waterways. There are over 10 types of Gardens available on the premises which people take significant interest in according to seasons.

Kinsale
Located at the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, Kinsale town is famous for its colourful streetscapes and rich history, fuelled by great people, food, boutiques & events. Visitors to Kinsale are captivated by its spectacular waterfront setting and mediaeval influences. Brightly coloured buildings vie for attention with the glorious harbour which sustains the town. Originally a medieval fishing port, the coastal enclave of Kinsale (from the Irish, Ceann tSaile – ‘Head of the Sea’) is fabled far and wide for its beauty and rich history. Recently hailed by Conde Nast as one of Ireland’s most beautiful towns, it consistently punches above its weight.

Cobh
We reach the historic town of Cobh, which is well-known for being the last place the Titanic stopped before her tragic departure in 1912, as our enthralling tour of Cork comes to an end. Admire the magnificent Cathedral Church of St. Colman, also referred to as Cobh Cathedral because of its imposing presence, which bears witness to the town's rich history. Enjoy the recognisable "Deck of Cards" houses, a vibrant series of buildings that tumble down the hillside and produce a picture-perfect image. I'll make sure you arrive back safely to your Cork City hotel or cruise ship as our tour comes to a conclusion. I hope your next travel is safe and enjoyable, full of treasured memories of your stay in Ireland, till we cross paths again.
