“This is by far the WORST "tour" experience I have ever had. I use the word tour loosely, as it was more like a hostage experience! We should have been wary when we arrived at the train station to have the "guides" (another term I use loosely) inform us that they had "just" found out that there were rail repairs in process on our route, and we would have to disembark the train after only 45 minutes to ride buses (notice the plural!) to Blarney Castle. These railway repairs had obviously been going on for a while, as there were announcements all over the train station and on the passenger…”

Our guide also covered a vast amount of general history about the island itself, including the explorers and how landmarks/destinations got their names. Each tour guide was really nice and easy going whilst being knowledgeable about the island. Special shout out to Peter who was our awesome bus tour guide. I would also like to mention, with no issue they catered to our dietary requirements (one of us being vegan) with only one mornings notice. However…”

Le responsable du train m'a proposé de monter à bord pour aller dans la ville haute, mais la visite même et les transports m'ont occasionné de nouveaux frais. Renseignements pris, le lieu de rendez-vous donné n'est pas le bon. Il paraît que le bug n'est pas nouveau et qu'il a déjà été signalé... Que de temps perdu et de désillusion...
