- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Sue MToronto, Canada6 contributionswhat an amazing experience! Communication was amazing from the time of booking and throughout the tour. We were traveling with family on a cruise and we booked this as a private excursion. Only having a brief time is Cork, we wanted to see as much as possible without feeling rushed. Nail met us on time and whisked us to Blarney Castle ahead of the big coaches. After kissing the Blarney Stone, we met up easily and were able to enjoy a beautiful drive, visit a fort and spend a leisurely afternoon exploring beautiful Kinsale and lunch at a traditional pub. Amazing day. Amazing guide!Review of: Cobh (Cork) to Blarney Castle & Kinsale - Shore ExcursionWritten 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Renee D5 contributionsThis Tour was one of the best we’ve ever been on. Communication leading up to the trip was great. Derek is fun, energetic, full of stories and history. You walk away feeling you made a friend. I would highly, highly recommend choosing this private tour!!!Review of: Private Tour of Cork, Blarney Castle, Kinsale and CobhWritten 6 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shauna T1 contributionPrompt, engaging guide who enabled us to see the Blarney Stone w/o having to wait in a long line; We, therefore, had more time to spend exploring the grounds and were able to visit other places as wellReview of: Shore Excursion From Cork: Including Blarney Castle and KinsaleWritten 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SL WToronto, Canada12 contributionsOur driver, Tony Bennett, was a good guide. We were a large group who wanted to see different sites and he managed to make us all happy! His sense of humour added to the fun! We had the best fish and chips ever in Kinsale!Review of: Mercedes Minibus, Private tour, Blarney castle, Cork & Kinsale.Written 18 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul S10 contributionsThis is a terrific tour. Very interesting to learn about the history of mead. The owners are charming and excellent hosts on the tour. The mead tasting at the end was a great way to finish.Review of: Explore the Making & Tasting of MeadWritten 19 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tara L1 contributionThe Good:
- Local tour guide Pat O'Mara made this an exceptional experience. He is knowledgeable, witty (dry humour), flexible, genuine, and a great all-around human being. Ask him about meeting Seamus.
- Activities were flexible. People on the tour could do different activities at the same time depending on interests and abilities. For example, in Westport, some of us shopped and explored the town, some hiked the shorter/lower trails of Croagh Patrick, and some went for the summit.
- Small group meant we could make friends with our tour group buddies! Pat was adept at helping all the personalities meld, from the quiet small-town Canadians to the big New York personalities.
- The bus was roomy and comfortable. Small enough to traverse little roads and stop at off-the-beaten-track attractions.
- Overland Tours themselves were flexible and accommodating as well. When booking the tour, flight schedules were such that we had to arrive in Ireland a few hours after the tour started. Overland was understanding and reassured us that meeting up with the tour group later was not an unusual request. (Actually finding the group/guide was a different story, see below)
The Bad:
- Zilch.
The just OK:
- Some of the accommodations were just alright in terms of how comfortable the beds were. Otherwise though the B&Bs that we stayed at were cute and very friendly.
- For those with modified schedules (e.g. arriving late), it would have been helpful to have more communication re: our modified start time from Overland. We ended up contacting Overland via emergency channels when we realized the night before our arrival in Ireland that we didn't know who our tour guide was or where exactly to meet them. It all worked out in the end, however.Review of: 7 Day Emerald Explorer Small Group of tour of IrelandWritten 15 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Ellen C1 contributionThis is our third time to do Suzanne's food tour in Kinsale. This time we also included foraging. I was amazed at the depth of Suzanne's knowledge about the seaweeds and foods that can be found at the beach. The food at the restaurants and food stops was also fabulous! Our group loves doing the food tour, and look forward to it each time we return! Suzanne not only teaches a lot as she takes you on the food tour, she makes it lots of fun! We can't recommend this tour enough! Yummy food and lots of fun, learning and laughter!Review of: Coastal Foraging and Folklore TourWritten 25 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tia S7 contributionsWe had a fantastic tour with Dan around Kinsale, Blarney, & Kilkenny. The scenery was gorgeous, the coach was very comfortable, and Dan was incredibly knowledgeable and warm. We saw so much more than we would have seen on our own and Dan had great local knowledge and answers to all our questions!Review of: 3-Day Blarney Castle, Kilkenny & Irish Whiskey Tour Inc AdmissionWritten 10 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lorena S1 contributionWe recently returned from a 10-day cruise around Ireland and the high point of the entire cruise was our day spent touring Cork and the vicinity with Brian Boru. We had a few places that we wanted to see and then took his recommendations for the remainder of the day. He was friendly, it was easy to ask him questions, and he had a wealth of knowledge of the area and of the history of Ireland. We definitely recommend him and at some time in the future, would like to book a land tour with him. Thanks, Brian, for a great day.Review of: Private Wild Atlantic Day Tour from CorkWritten 14 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
