What stops to expect

House of Waterford Crystal. Enjoy a guided tour of the famous Waterford Crystal and see all the stages of how it is made. The guided tour is truly magical, as visitors enter the blowing department where they see glowing balls of crystal transformed into majestic shapes as they are put through the 1300-degree furnace. The Waterford Crystal pieces are then hand marked for precision and accuracy, and they are then cut, sculpted and engraved. After the tour, enter 12,000sq ft of crystal heaven in the largest Waterford Crystal display in the world.

It was such a perfect day! Ronan is a great guide and, in addition to showing us the scheduled itinerary, he gave us lots of history and stories of the surrounding areas on the drive to the various stops....

....The car was clean and comfortable. We had such a great time and we would 10/10 recommend to book this tour with Ronan!
