South of Ireland with Private Transportation

This tour of the South of Ireland with private transportation offers various aspects of the south of Ireland. Enjoy the flexibility to independently explore the legendary village of Blarney with its renowned castle, as well as the fishing village of Kinsale and the main attractions of Cork, Ireland's second-largest city.

Your driver will greet you as you start and show you around Cobh. After that, it's approximately an hour's journey to Kinsale via the Lee Tunnel, with a photo stop at Charles Fort. Explore the charming waterfront and yachting heart of Kinsale with a leisurely stroll.

Travel from Kinsale across expansive pasturelands to reach Cork city, where you'll discover its key highlights. Proceed onwards to the village of Blarney, renowned for Blarney Castle - an iconic Irish attraction where kissing the stone grants the "gift of eloquence." Atop the castle's summit lies the Blarney Stone, reached by ascending 100 steep steps within the ruins. At the summit, you can enjoy splendid views of the castle gardens, the expansive parkland, and in the distance the Blarney House.

You'll have around an hour and a half to tour Blarney Castle, wander through the village, or explore the diverse offerings at the well-stocked Blarney Woolen Mills shop. Within the shop, you'll find an extensive range of high-quality Irish goods, encompassing crystal, cashmere, crafts, candles, pottery, ceramics, and, naturally, traditional woolen knits.

You will then return to Cobh via the most direct route.

Please Note: The visit to Blarney Castle is self-guided.
