A Delightful Castle Tour: History, Hospitality, and the Blarney Stone! - Despite a rainy start, Ann’s warm and engaging personality made the entire experience feel bright and welcoming. Her deep knowledge of the castle, the famous Blarney Stone, and the surrounding town added so much richness to our tour. She provided fantastic recommendations for lunch, ensuring we had a great local experience. Thanks to her careful planning, we got to the Blarney Stone without a long wait, and her detailed storytelling made every moment at the castle come to life. A truly memorable tour!

Thanks Mary, you were amazing! - Mary was amazing! Very knowledgeable but not boring! The castle and my attempt at kissing the stone was fun, but the gardens were the real gem here!

A tour with a kiss ❤️ - My husband and I visited the Blarney Castle in May 2025 and decided to take this tour. We both agree that our experience was so much richer with the tour. Our guide Ann was amazing and wonderful with the different levels of walking ability in our group. She was well informed and entertained us with some fun local folklore. The weather was perfect and while it rained for about 10 mins we enjoyed the smells of the ozone. Luckily, we only had to wait about a half hour to kiss the stone but why is it in such an odd place? The gardens were magnificent! Planted and maintained with top quality care. Ann, thank you for your wonderful guidance, we loved our time at Blarney Castle and Gardens!!

Ok, but… - The tour itself was great, however the guide did not speak great English and we were surprised not to be guided by a “local” who could add richness to the tour with a personalized/lived experience commentary.
