Perfect Day in Cork

Tracy_W, Sept 2026

We had a fantastic walking tour of Cork with Breda. She is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. We really enjoyed walking through Cork with her and learning about its history while also getting a feel for the city as it is today. She kept the tour interesting and relaxed, and the time flew by. Breda is a wonderful guide and really added to our day in Cork. We would absolutely recommend her!

Nice tour of Cork

James_S, Jul 2026

Rose was a friendly tour guide. She made contact ahead of time to confirm meeting location and time. She was very knowledgeable about Cork and had good stories to tell. She was willing to show us a places to get drinks after the tour since it was a very hot day. We recommend the tour if you are looking to learn more about Cork.

Learned so much about Ireland, the Irish language, and Cork!

Parker_H, Jul 2026

Neasa did a wonderful job making this tour super customizable. Cork is very walkabale, so we were able to fit so much in. So many of the places we could have walked through on our own, but Neasa’s expertise and background knowledge added so much to your Cork trip. Would 100% recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Her local knowledge and background stories really can add a whole new dimension to places you might otherwise simply walk past.

Thank you for the fantastic recommendation! — The Travelling Ireland Team

Nice easy tour

Fred_H, Jun 2026

Breda was a great guide Very knowledgeable with good information. If she didn’t know the answer to our questions she was honest about it vs other guides we have had gave multiple answers they had heard. Honesty is always best! She was very personable as well.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re very glad you enjoyed your time with Breda and appreciated both her knowledge and her honest, personable approach. We completely agree that being open when there isn’t a definite answer is an important part of providing a genuine and trustworthy experience.

This Tour & Our Guide, Breda, were fantastic!

Breda was a fantastic guide for our private tour of Cork. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer or kinder person to show us all of the highlights of the city. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a feel or Cork, learn some of its fascinating history, and find a few good spots around town for food and drink along the way. Thanks so much for helping us start our visit to Cork in such a special way!
