Take your time exploring the beautiful city of Cork on this Ireland rail tour. Your Cork tour will give you the chance to kiss the Blarney Stone and experience many of the city's major attractions all in one day. This city's storied past is a treat for travelers and adds to the country's Celtic charm.

Take a train from Dublin to Cork, where you'll be transported to Blarney Castle. At the top of this medieval stronghold, you will find the Blarney Stone; this block of bluestone is said to give the gift of gab to anyone who kisses it, so be prepared to pucker up. After you kiss the stone and have a chance to explore the rest of the castle, you'll have time to shop in Blarney Village before proceeding to Cork for a quick tour of the city.

Your guide on this Ireland rail tour will then accompany you to Cobh, a seaport town that's home to one of the tallest buildings in Ireland, St. Colman's Cathedral. This cathedral contains the only carillon in all of Ireland; the instrument is comprised of bronze bells and can weigh upwards of 100 tons. The city is also home to Cork Harbour, the Titanic's last port of call. After a stroll through the Cobh Heritage Centre, you will return to Cork for a transfer back to Dublin. Spend your day in Ireland touring the highlights of its countryside with this fun and convenient day tour.
