The tour was wonderful and our guide Bob and driver John were fabulous. They were very knowledgeable about the area. I went on the Blarney/Cork tour. I wish we had more time in Cork but enjoyed all the time we had to explore Blarney Castle. More

I went to Ireland over New Year's and wanted to see as much of the country as I could, in a week. A train ride to Blarney Castle to kiss the stone and one of the best meals I had in Ireland at the restaurant, there (order the chicken, bacon, and leek pie!)... followed by a gorgeous trip to Cobh...

Stayed in Dublin over New Year's. Wanted to do something other than the city and we booked a day trip through Railtours Ireland to Cliffs of Moher. There was a stop in Bunratty Castle that was secondary but really great -- the views over the fields and River Shannon, and the deep history were really brought alive by the castle.... More

We we were either traveling or seeing sites the whole time we were on our tour. We did not wait in any lines, and the tour... More

We did the Ring of Kerry, Blanery Castle, Bunrattey Castle and Northern Ireland Belfast tour. On two of these tours Brendan was our tour guide - He was the best - he went... More

We had originally booked our tour for Wednesday in November (off season) and they had to bump us to Thursday. Bunratty castle was... More
