Blarney, Rock of Cashel & Cahir Castles: Day Tour From Dublin

Catch an air-conditioned bus ride from Dublin city to the green hills of the Irish countryside. You'll pass by multiple sites, including the home of the Irish National Stud, the Curragh in County Kildare, and the Galtee Mountains.

Next, you'll visit the Rock of Cashel, a significant historical site in Ireland. You'll see a variety of medieval buildings there like a cross, tower, abbey, chapel, cathedral, and a tower house from the 15th-century.

Then, you'll head to Blarney Castle, famous for the Blarney Stone. Kiss the stone to receive the "gift of gab." You'll also see lovely gardens with waterfalls and old ferns. Visit the Wishing Steps and the magical Rock Close. You can also choose from various restaurants inside Blarney Castle.

Your final destination will be Cahir Castle—it's one of Ireland's biggest and most well-preserved. The Butler family built it in the 13th century. The castle, located on a rocky island in the River Suir, has played a part in several notable sieges and battles. You'll get a look at the clever architectural defenses of the time. A guided tour and audiovisual presentations will help you understand its intriguing history before you return to Dublin.
