“I wish there was a way to rate this as a “10-star” excursion — it was one of the best tours I had during my entire two-week trip to Ireland. Our tour guide was Amanda. She will likely begin her spiel telling you she’s a sort/kinda introvert — don’t believe her for a minute! She’s outgoing, funny, friendly, warm, and just a joy to be around! She kept us moving and laughing for the entire tour. The food? Yes, the food! Sausage rolls, Irish coffees, seafood, cheeses, chocolates…each at a different restaurant ranging from historic sites to new places — a perfect balance of new age and old school. I’m…”

“Our tour guide and driver, Derek, met us at the port of Cobh. Unfortunately the weather was against us and the rain was pouring down. He therefore advised us to go to Kinsale first in the hope the weather would brighten up. We had morning tea with scones in The Blue Haven (delicious) and the made our way to the dramatic coastline to experience beautiful scenery. We visited the Lusitania Museum and Old Head Signal Tower which was very moving and gave us time to reflect and remember with respect those lives lost and changed by such an awful event.

A practical review of Darren’s private Cork tour, covering Blarney Castle, Kinsale, Old Head cliffs, the 9/11 garden, and Cobh.
“Darren Haddock was our guide and he was amazing - everything you expect in a tour guide. He was prompt, he was knowledgeable, engaging and extremely organized. Communication prior to the tour was on spot, he knew when we were arriving. We were so happy to be in a private tour so we could go where the large tour buses couldn't. Darren is great in getting you to the Blarney Castle before all the large tour busses get there so that we had VERY little wait to kiss the Blarney Stone. The park around the castle was so beautiful and serene. Darren had planned the schedule extremely well and had…”

“We had a wonderful day on our private tour to Blarney Castle, Kinsale, Cork, and Cobh. Maurice was our driver and he was terrific. Most importantly, we were 1st in line at Blarney Castle, and that started our day off splendidly. We went straight up the stairs and our group was first to the Blarney Stone on top of the castle. On the way down, we visited all the remaining areas of the castle and could already see the line was at least an hour long wait. We roamed the gardens, saw the Blarney owners' house, and learned a lot of history. We ate lunch and walked a bit in…”
