“Wow! Aiden with Paddywagon Tours was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and really kept us engaged the entire trip. The Blarney Castle was outstanding and we had no line to kiss the stone. Rock of Cashel was stunning and we had a beautiful day for pictures. I’ve never experienced food markets like The English Market in Cork and it was amazing! I only wish we were staying longer so we could have purchased some fresh fruit and cheese from the market.”
