Elevated Seats, XL Windows, and the Jameson Experience at Midleton
Blarney first, and the stone, and then the part that most tours skip: a private guided walk through the grounds and gardens of the estate rather than an hour of free time at the gate.
The city follows, with the English Market and St Fin Barre's Cathedral, and the history and culture of the county told as you go, with traditional music between stops.
The last stop is the Jameson distillery.
The minibus is worth a word: the seating is elevated and the rear windows are oversized, so the countryside stays visible from every seat rather than from the front two.
Sean holds the National Tour Guide Certification, and he is the driver as well as the guide.
