Does this tour include admission into Blarney castle?

Blarney Castle is included in the itinerary of the tour, but the admission ticket needs to be purchased on arrival.

Could you give me some more detailed information about the prices for the accomodation? Is there for instance a way to get a room suitable for three persons?

Unfortunately there is not a family room package available through TourRadar; you will likely have to select a Twin room for 1x Adult 1x Child, and a Single room for 1x Adult. We may be able to look into a triple room for the family to share upon request. The price for the 5-Day Centuries of Stories: Ireland's South-East in the summer season would be as follows: £1243.5 for an adult in a shared hotel room; £1763.5 for an adult in a single hotel room; £1209.5 for a child in a shared hotel room.

This was the best tour we’ve ever been on! And all for one reason: our tour guide and driver Michael! Each day was exciting and filled with adventure and new knowledge about Ireland. Everyday had a wow moment with the specular views and history of the sites we visited. But more than anything it was entertaining with Michael at the wheel. So many times since the tour ended our three part family has remembered Michael’s one liners and humour. For these reasons we can easily say this was the best tour ever.Show more

This price includes the accommodation during the tour. As my colleague mentioned, family rooms are not very common, especially in small towns in Ireland where this tour stays at. I can ask a member of our accommodation team for more accurate info, but I would say it is unlikely, especially for 4 nights.
