We loved Anne and Blarney! - Anne was extremely knowledgable, professional, considerate, worldly and had a GREAT sense of humor. She knew all of the shortcuts and was sure to point out special features we would have never known to stop and look at if we were on our own! Her empathy and warmth became apparent when we ran into 2 former students of hers. We really lucked out with Ann as the 4 other people in our group didn't show!! If you are even considering this tour BOOK IT!

Ann was amazing - Ann was an incredible guide, so much knowledge, fun, personable. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Great tour of the outside of the castle, all the gardens, and the home. We chose to skip the 2 hour wait to kiss the stone, but you could do this at the beginning or end of the tour if you wanted.

It’s well worth it. It... - It’s well worth it. It was a lifelong wish to kiss the Blarney Stone. So glad it didn’t disappoint. The garden was fabulous.

Great historical tour but might miss the castle interior & stone kissing - Our guide, Ann, was well informed and provided great historical information about the castle and gardens. Only downfall, the line into Blarney was roughly 3 hours long so we skipped the stone & castle interior. Would pay more for VIP guaranteed/ fast pass option into the castle.
