Blarney Castle, Cahir Castle, and Rock of Cashel Day Trip from Dublin

Combine three classic Ireland stops into one scenic day trip outside Dublin on a guided coach tour. You'll start at the Rock of Cashel, a cliff-top set of medieval ruins tied to Ireland’s old kings. Next comes Blarney Castle and Gardens, where you can climb the castle to kiss the Blarney Stone and enjoy lunch (at own expense). Finally, visit Cahir Castle, a fortress on the River Suir, before a comfortable ride back to Dublin. With admission included, you focus on the sites, not the setup.
