      About this trip

      The South-West counties of Kerry and Cork are among the most popular for visitors and, if you are visiting Ireland for the first time, you will enjoy this experience. 

      this part of the country is really a picture-postcard region with its rugged, rustic and wild scenery and landscape and perhaps it matches what first-time visitors expect Ireland to look like. 

      Expect narrow, winding country roads, craggy coastlines and verdant landscapes in abundance.

      the coastline of the South West is a meandering mix of inlets, cover and peninsulas, so there is plenty of opportunity for cliff-top walks and rambles. Inland, the landscape is scarcely less rugged: throughout the region, farmland is interspersed with rocky outcrops and bogs which break up the luscious green vistas.

      Where do we stay

      We stay in Killarney and Kenmare. 

      The Killarney Court Hotel

      Kenmare Bay Hotel

      Secret Ireland Tours are committed to doing everything possible to keep our clients safe while on tour with us in Ireland. As many know we rescheduled all of our 2020 tours to 2021 and we are keeping in close contact with the health Department in Ireland. All of the venue's and hotels we use have completed a Safety Charter course which allowed them to open to the public. We will not visit any site or stay in any hotel that has not completed this course. It was created by the tourist board in Ireland. We will do everything in our power to keep everybody safe. 

      We believe that this tour that was rescheduled will go ahead but we will keep a close eye on the conditions and if we need to reschedule again, we will do so in consultation with you our clients.

      Itinerary

      Day 1
      Rock of Cashel, Blarney Castle

      We pick you up at the airport by 9am the morning of the first day of the tour, we then make our way South, first to Rock of Cashel. This is an amazing place that dates back to the 5th century. It is said that St Patrick said the first mass here and he converted the High King here also. It has a long and sorry history and we learn all about it when we are taken around by the wonderful guides that work there. 

      We then go to Blarney Castle where you can kill the Blarney Stone if you wish. Again the grounds of this place is amazing and they have a very strange garden, with all sorts of things growing in it. We then go to our accommodation in Kenmare. Which is the Kenmare Bay Hotel.

      Unfortunately, my review for this trip is 2 stars and I’ve conveyed my complaints to Mai on several emails. This trip did not live up to the expectations and was very disappointing when it comes to the itinerary changes, expectations, health and safety, overall costs, and what we received for the costs. The trip that was conveyed was not what I received. That’s unfortunate and I expect this review to be removed from the site.

      Hi Shannon, We are sorry that the trip did not live up to your expectations. As I explained to you in our email exchange, we have stated on our WeTravel itinerary, each days itinerary is subject to change depending on weather and other things. I know that the tour guide decided to change a few things around because of weather, and you did not see some places that you wanted. This could not be avoided. We have had great comments from many of the other people in the group.

      Fantastically amazing. It was my very first experience out of the United States and I absolutely loved it. The accommodations were just as amazing with their historical personas and eclectic style. Would definitely go again give the opportunity.

      The trip was absolutely fantastic! The hotels had that Old World feel and we situated close to the center of towns so there was plenty to do. The scheduled events were plentiful but not so much you felt rushed. Our guide Frank was the best! His unique experience of life as an Irishman made for a great perspective on the culture and character of this great land. Everyone was so pleasant. I definitely recommend an Irish tour of your own.
