Cobh shore trip to Blarney Castle and Kinsale with included admission, early entry, free Kinsale walking tour, and a Cork city drive.
“Our guide, Kevin, did a fantastic job of explaining the sites and welcoming us to Cobh. Our driver, Billy, did an amazing job of navigating through heavy traffic to make sure that we got back to the ship on time. I highly recommend this tour.”
Early morning Blarney Castle, Cork city views, and Kinsale for lunch on an 8-hour Cobh shore trip with admission and transfers.
“Involves a lot of walking. Impossible to get up to the Blarney Stone if you have physical limitations though I still enjoyed the grounds. The bagpipe player at the entrance set up the whole experience!”
Dublin Port day trip to Glendalough and County Wicklow, plus a guided Dublin highlights loop and Grafton Street shopping.
“Ship did not get to port due to weather. And the tour operator, Paddywagon tours, refused to give refunds. Easy payday for them!”
Hop-on hop-off Dublin with a return rail ticket from Dun Laoghaire to Pearse, plus Trinity and the Book of Kells.
“driver/guide was very humourous, told many wonderful stories”
Dublin cruise shore plan with DART transfer, 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus, a highlights walk, and smart stops for Guinness, Trinity, and more.
“A good way to get from the port and then get to see Dublin. Commentary from the driver was excellent”
Dublin City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour with 24 or 48 hours to hit top sights like Dublin Castle, Guinness, and Jameson.
“We found the most helpful drivers and staff. Very helpful with lots of tips of must-see places. We also wanted to go somewhere called "Beggars Bush" and we were given helpful instructions of how to get there and the next day we got the same bus driver and he asked us if we found it ok and what our plans were next. I wish I could remember his name to say thanks again!”
Full-day Killybegs shore trip to Donegal Castle, Abbey, town shopping, Wild Atlantic Way viewpoints, and Sliabh Liag cliffs.
“We had an excellent time on this perfect for cruise passengers excursion! Our guide, Kevin, was very well informed and could even carry a tune! Our driver, Alex, did a masterful job handling the sometimes challenging County Donegal roads. I highly recommend!”
Round-trip coach from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher via the Burren and Doolin, with about five hours on the cliffs and the visitor center.
“The tour was fine...the area coverage was very good. What I did not quite like was the constant talking of the guide Peter. He tried to be engaging, but was too agressive. The place where they took us for lunch was not good and overpriced. But they insisted on that restaurant.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
