What are people saying about Cork

Ring of Kerry Day Tour from Cork: Including Killarney National Park

JoJo_C, Oct 2026

Ring of Kerry breathtaking

An absolutely wonderful experience! The Ring of Kerry is breathtaking, with stunning landscapes, charming little towns, and incredible views at every turn. The tour was a perfect way to discover the beauty of Ireland and appreciate its natural charm. Everything was beautiful, memorable, and worth every moment. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ireland! 🇮🇪🍀 TJ was amazing!

Eric_M, Oct 2026

This was an incredibly...

This was an incredibly interesting and informative tour. Our tour guide, Nina, gave us a thorough history lesson of Irish whiskey as well as a science lesson on the distillation process. This brief tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland by far.

Easy Access Blarney Stone and Castle Gardens Tour

Michelle_B, Oct 2026

Unforgettable experience!!

We had a hard time finding the meeting point, but of course that was not the guides fault. This made us 15 minutes late and I was stressed that the tour would move on without us, but luckily it all worked out and we ended up having the absolute best time!! Ann brought the history of Blarney Village, the castle grounds, and the legend of the Blarney Stone to life with humor, deep local knowledge, and great pacing. From the smooth navigation to the great energy and storytelling, this was a stress-free (once we found the meetup location), deeply entertaining way to experience Blarney, book this tour and hope you get Ann!!

Blarney Castle and Kinsale Tour from Cork

Elyssee_P, Oct 2026

Excellent day tour!

The bus boarding location was super convenient, right in Cork’s city center. The bus (paddy wagon) was comfortable, maybe it was the jet lag but my partner and I were able to easily catch a nap on the quick drives between stops. Our tour guide, Michael, was friendly and helpful. He played Irish music on our drives and that was very fun. Overall it was a pretty hands off experience which we loved. Michael drove us to the location, told us when to be back to the bus, and then we were free to explore on our own. Lovely experience- we had a great time!

Private Tour Blarney, Kinsale & Cobh .The Best Cork has to offer.

Thomas_S, Oct 2026

Time well spent

We spent an incredible day with Darren on October 6, 2026. If you don’t want to read the details, know that it was a 10 out of 10. Would highly recommend. Darren was a few minutes early and met us in the hotel lobby. Although there was an itinerary for the tour, Darren started by asking for our priorities. He made suggestions to customize our experience in order to optimize our time. We are so happy we followed his advice. Darren is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to take us to the major sites such as Blarney Castle and Charles Fort as well as places no tour bus goes such as The Kinsale 9/11 Garden of Remembrance. This is a beautiful garden created in memory of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11. Darren’s experience provided us with excellent timing so that we were always finishing our time at the more popular sites just as the big tour buses showed up. He took us to The Speckled Door for our lunch. A place off the beaten path with great food and a beautiful view of the water. We were never rushed or felt hurried. Darren made sure we had enough time at every stop. He is also an excellent and very safe driver. We look forward to our return trip to Cork and we will definitely hire Darren again.

Cork Culinary Tour

Our guide was Kerry, such an amazing, lovely, knowledgeable and enthusiastic person! She told us of the history of Cork and its old canals that made it known as the Venice of Ireland. Those canals are now the streets and alleys of Cork, which gives the city a quaint character. The English Market was amazing, with great samples of seafood and chocolate. We ended the tour at a lovely pub where we enjoyed cheeses and shared stories. A definite ‘must do’ in Cork!

Kinsale Cruise, Kinsale ( 50 minutes)

MargandJim_B, Sept 2026

Amazing Experience

This boat cruise was an amazing experience from start to finish. It was a lovely tour of the beautiful Kinsale Harbour on an incredible sunny day in September. Seeing the sea otters out on the shore and then move closer to us was amazing. The staff was very friend informative. A must do experience in Kinsale. Marg and Jim (Canada)

Blarney Kinsale & Cobh Private Tour, Viator Badge Of Excellence

Ashley_M, Sept 2026

Best Day Ever!

Derek is the man! Hands down, the absolute BEST tour we had on our entire trip! From start to finish, Derek was incredible. He was right on time, his car was spotless, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our group. He knows everyone in the area, knows all the best places to go (and, just as importantly, where NOT to go!), and made sure we had an amazing experience. But what really made the day special was Derek himself. He was respectful, kind, genuinely caring, and absolutely hilarious! His witty personality kept us laughing throughout the day, and it truly felt like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just a tour guide. Derek is an absolute gem of a person and made our day so memorable. We highly, highly recommend booking a tour with him! We will definitely be booking with Derek again when we return. THANK YOU, DEREK, FOR THE BEST DAY! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ryan_S, Sept 2026

Fully accommodating & surprising adventure

Bryan did a wonderful job as the driver on our private tour. He listened to what we wanted to see and made great suggestions. He suggested Cahir Castle in addition to our list & it was definitely a great idea. He was prompt, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with traveling the Irish countryside.

Private Ring of Kerry Highlights Tour from Cork, Car or Minibus

Don_C, Sept 2026

Ring of Kerry tour

My husband booked the Ring of Kerry tour for us. Our driver was Maurice. The day of our tour was very rainy and overcast. Even though Maurice had no control of the weather, he must have apologized 5 to 7 times. He was full of knowledge. He asked what we wanted to see, do and learn about. He took us to St. Finbarr’s Oratory just a beautiful, peaceful spot. We saw a couple waterfalls, many sheep and cows. We stopped for lunch in Kenmare cozy town great shopping, I recommend Irish Weavers for sweaters etc. Gorgeous and so soft. I strongly recommend this experience. It would’ve been a glorious day to see the sights and enjoy all the greenery had the sun been out but all in all still a lovely tour. Maurice is a wonderful man.

Cork City Ramble

Brandon_P, Aug 2026

The most history packed into ~ 75 minutes that I ever experienced or enjoyed. Eddie is a master storyteller and saint!

Eddie is very knowledgeable, charismatic and deeply engaged throughout the walking tour. Pace and time at each stop was very appropriate for the traveling group (skewed older, 60's 70's). We already loved Cork city and this enriched and deepened our hearts for this special city. I'd love to take another tour of the city and showcase different landmarks and historical notoriety.
