I usually am not a tour person myself, but yeah at times, it does help to hop on to a tour and explore the places. I can very well relate to your comment about the sheeple effect. When I am with a group, I head out to the direction, opposite to where the group goes. It helps in getting those shots without everyone in it.

I really enjoyed this post! The lush green fields with the sheep was beautiful and the rotisserie chicken is calling my name. 🙂 I loved seeing the Blarney Stone experience too. Thanks for sharing Ireland with us! xoxo

I like joining tours because it saves you time and money. You mentioned a good tip when you visited The Rock of Cashel. I also let others go first. People are always in a hurry so it is better to wait until they are done. Then, you can capture good photos but it is not always the case. Kissing the stone is interesting. I am not sure if I want to do it also.
The giant redwoods make you look so small. They kinda look unbelievable.
Lastly, I like the fries, burger, and roasted chicken at the CoqBull. The servings were good especially the fries. I think it can be shared by two people.

In reply to Vaisakhi. Thanks, Vaisakhi! It was really amazing to me, as an American...our country is less than 250 years old, and yet they have bars and pubs that have been around longer than that, hahaha.

Yes – and I liked that they basically got you through the admission gate, letting you skip the line – but then left you to do your own thing. I don’t like to be too tied to a group 🙂

I prefer self planned road trips to tour operators as I can stop at will and change itinerary too. Viator seems to be good from your description. You did get to see a lot of places in this tour. Never knew of kissing the blarney stone!

Oh how I love ruins! And when you have nature and the quiet of some old era – it is just so enchanting! Never been to Ireland but have now added this place to my ever growing personal list of ‘places to visit when in Ireland’ 😀 Loved the post.

In reply to Mel B. Thanks, Mel! I'll be honest...I think I've dreamed about that burger a few times since then, hahaha.
