Review of the Dublin to Cork rail tour with Blarney Castle, the Blarney Stone, Cobh Heritage Centre, scenic views, and practical tips.
“Had a great time on our trip! This is my second time going on this tour and I am never disappointed! Guides and drivers are amazing!”
Review of the Dublin to Giant's Causeway rail and coach tour, with practical advice on timing, stops, value, guides, and what to expect.
“Long day but amazing scenery and the driver was rather comical and entertaining. Train trip up was nice, the stop from lunch was pleasant as were the couple of stops before and after. Loved Giant's Causeway and the swinging bridge. Lots of tourists as it was the perfect day weather wise but not annoying. Lunch at Bushmills Whiskey distillery was nice as you were able to visit the store afterwards, you paid for your own lunch. Great value for money and would highly recommend.”
Ride rail and coach from Dublin through Kerry’s mountain passes, bays, lakes, villages, and sheep country on this very long scenic day tour.
“Our tour guide, Paddy, was fantastic! Not only did he accompany us on the train, but he did on the bus as well. He made sure we had seats on the train together for our group of 3. He also spoke to each group and made sure we knew where were going, what time we would get there and what we would be seeing. He was very informative and patient, which we greatly appreciated. He was so sweet to offer to take pictures of us at each site. We highly recommend this tour and make sure to ask for Paddy!”
