Our first stop is the amazing Blarney Castle which is one of the strongest surviving tower houses in Ireland.

Blarney Gardens are one of the most famous spots in The Blarney Castle. Blarney has over 60 acres of sprawling parklands which include gardens, avenues, arboretums, and waterways.

Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Jameson Distillery Midleton, Distillery Walk, Midleton Ireland
Let us take you on a journey from past to present. In Midleton, come face to face with the world’s largest pot still on one of our memorable experiences at the old distillery of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Visitors to Kinsale are captivated by its spectacular waterfront setting and mediaeval influences. Brightly colored buildings vie for attention with the glorious harbor which sustains the town. Originally a medieval fishing port, the coastal enclave of Kinsale (from the Irish, Ceann tSaile – ‘Head of the Sea’) is fabled far and wide for its beauty and rich history. Recently hailed by Conde Nast as one of Ireland’s most beautiful towns, it consistently punches above its weight.

As we end our amazing tour of Cork We arrive at the town of Cobh. It’s known as Titanic’s last port of call in when it departed in 1912. You will see where the passenger boarded.

Finally I will bring you back to your Cruise ship or Cork City hotel and until we meet each other again I will wish you a safe onward journey.

Great experience! We would recommend to everyone who visits Dublin. Our driver, Derek was very flexible with our ideas and worked with what we wanted. Even stopped at an amazing distillery! Derek, was very knowledgeable, personable and engaged in conversation with humor. Fun times!

What a great find. we found this on Private Tours Cork Website and reached out. We had a reply in 10 minutes and booked for the next day. Derek collected us and he was fantastic. He went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing day. The weather was amzing which made Blarney castle and gardens so special. Derek introduced us to his friend that has a house next to the castle and we got some amazing stories. We always wanted to see the Jameson distillery so it was amazing to have this in our tour. What can I say, It was worth the wait and even picked up a bottle to take home. We had an amazing day and Derek was so kind. Me and my wife would high recommend Private Tours Cork.33mackc

My father and I spent the day with our excellent tour guide, Derek O'Keeffe touring Blarney Castle, Jameson Distillery, and Cobh. Not only did those highlights exceed our expectations, but Derek went above and beyond to make us comfortable and cater to what we wanted to see. We had some extra time so we stopped at a stunning Native American monument, and Derek gave us a walk around UCC, while reminiscing of his time there. The personal touch to the tour made for an experience we will never forget, and I couldn't recommend Derek O'Keeffe Day Tours enough. A five star rating alone doesn't encompass the depth and wisdom shared on this tour, and we want to extend our gratitude for this incredible experience of a lifetime.
