Take a Guided Tour to Blarney Castle which is a medieval stronghold in Blarney, near Cork in the South of Ireland. Though earlier fortifications were built on the same spot, the current keep was built by the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty, a cadet branch of the Kings of Desmond, and dates from 1446. The famous Blarney Stone is among the machicolations of the castle.
One might expect Charleville Castle to be in Charleville in County Cork but it’s actually nearly 100 miles away in county Offaly near the town of Tullamore. It’s a Gothic Style Castle but on approach, many visitors get reminded of “Little Tin Soldiers”.
Your chauffeur can bring you on a guided tour to Kilkenny which is a Medieval Town in Southeast Ireland. Its majestic Kilkenny Castle was built in 1195 by the Norman occupiers. Kilkenny has deep religious roots and many well-preserved churches and monasteries including the imposing 13th Century Saint Canice’s Cathedral and the Black Abbey Dominican Priory.
Discover real artisanal Irish whiskey distilling at Kilbeggan Distillery - the oldest distillery in Ireland, dating back to 1757. Your guide will bring you to see for yourself the traditional method of mashing in oak mash tuns, fermenting in Oregon pine vats and the new Kilbeggan malt spirit flowing from the 180-year-old pot still.
New Grange is well worth getting your chauffeur to bring you there on your guided tour. As you wait in the darkness of the Newgrange passage tomb, on the same spot where an ancient people stood more than 5,000 years ago, the first rays of the winter solstice sun glide into light up the ancient burial chamber.
On your guided tour your driver can bring you to The Rock of Cashel which is also known as Saint Patrick’s Rock and it is reputed that Saint Patrick converted King Aenghus to Christianity here in the 5th Century.
"I called Jim at Ireland West Tours looking specifically for a day touring around Galway to do photography. The minute I mentioned this to Jim, he started talking about light and times of day and I knew I was on to the right person! I trusted Jim with the places he recommended and he did not let me down!"
