Who it's for
Adults and teenagers

If you only have one day and don't want to drive, Paddywagon leaves Dublin at 8:00, stops at the Rock of Cashel, leaves about ninety minutes free in Cork, with time for the English Market, and finishes at Blarney Castle and its gardens. It gets back around 20:00. It costs €85 with entry tickets.

It doesn't go through Cobh. If what interests you is the Titanic and Spike Island, you're better off taking the train and spending a night in the town.
