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

Karen_G, Jun 2026

Excellent tour of the Ring of Kerry with an amazing tour guide!!!

Absolutely loved the ring of Kerry tour! We stopped at a few small towns which were amazing. We had time to eat, shop, and take plenty of beautiful pictures. We felt totally immersed in the culture!!! Killarney national Park tour was the best as we opted to pay the 16 extra euros for the horse and carriage ride which I am so grateful that our tour guide for our excursion recommended! And speaking of our tour guide, Connor with Paddy tours was THE BEST! This lad knows his history of Ireland. Plus he was an excellent driver. He was friendly, professionals and the most knowledgeable tour guide we have ever experienced. Also loved that he was fun! Told cute jokes, and answered all questions that tourists had about Ireland and gave recommendations for other attractions. I strongly recommend Paddy Tours but only if you can have Connor as your guide!!! This trip was perfect for us!!!!

Highly recommend this tour!

This was an awesome tour! Darren was very fun to be with and he did an excellent job! We knew exactly where to find him and he got us to the Blarney Castle before the large crowds arrived. He allowed plenty of time for us to kiss the Blarney Stone and tour the beautiful gardens. He drove us through the countryside to a lovely place to have lunch and see the dramatic rugged coastline! We had a wonderful day with Darren!

Icing on the cake, from a truly special city.

A complete joy! Miley has warmth of an old friend, sharing the sights and knowledge of his city. We had a sunny day and 360 degree views of the city and surrounding area. The history was a delight to hear, the charm of the guide, and the equipment with audio helmets was an excellent touch. I highly recommend the tour, you can't go wrong. A couple tips, show up early and grab a coffee at Jo's, you won't be disappointed, besides Miley will certainly appreciate the added connection. Next, when you stop by the Charles Fort, ask if you can pay the entrance fee and take 15-30 min for a quick look. I bet Miley would have some interesting facts as well to share. Enjoy the ride!

Cobh (Cork) to Blarney Castle & Kinsale - Shore Excursion

Kissing the stone and walking about

The trip to Blarney castle and Kinsale was much better than I had expected. Going to the castle and kissing the stone, which I admit was stupid, it’s still something I’ll always remember. The walk around Kinsale was also very enjoyable. However, our tour guide Ian was the best part of the trip. Entertaining the bus with jokes and descriptions of the area. I fully recommend the trip.

Great Tour History and phenomenal food tasting!

This tour was great! Learning some history of Cork and the importance it served of supplying ships as they prepared to cross the Atlantic was enjoyable. The food sampling was as even better. pie Guys is the best meat pie I’ve ever tasted. The oysters from the fish monger were the freshest and best I’ve had anywhere. Thank you to our tour guide for sharing and guiding us.

Cork City Bike Tour | Local Guide | E-Bikes Available

Five stars: Fun, easy e-bike tour with a fantastic Cork guide My wife and I had a terrific experience

Five stars: Fun, easy e-bike tour with a fantastic Cork guide My wife and I had a terrific experience on the Cork City Cycle Tour with James Foley, who was both our guide and the owner of the bike business. This was our first time using e-bikes, and wow. They made going up hills easy, made longer distances feel effortless, and took less than a minute to understand. We biked all over Cork and visited places we never would have reached on foot on our own. Stops included University College Cork, Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Shandon / St. Anne’s Church, Elizabeth Fort, the River Lee, and around central Cork. Even if we had walked to some of these places ourselves, we would not have known what we were looking at. James made the difference. James is very knowledgeable about Cork history and added fun stories throughout the tour. He has an interesting background too. He formerly worked in quality control at a major pharmaceutical company before deciding he preferred to own his own business. That attention to detail shows in how he runs the tour. He also keeps the group size small. Our tour had four guests plus James, and I understand he limits the group to eight, which makes the experience feel personal and easy to follow. Cork has great bike lanes, and the e-bikes made it easy to cover a lot of ground in about 2.5 hours. This tour is fun, efficient, informative, and a great way to see many Cork sites with context you would not get on your own. Five stars. Highly recommended.

Cork City Ramble

Mariam_F, Mar 2026

A 1000 yr old city built on marsh lands. Conquered by outsiders, Vikings, Normans and Huguenots for centuries.

It was such an amazing tour of Cork City filled with an abundance of historical references, architectural details and cultural explanations led by Chris, an extremely knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. Highly recommend this tour as a starting point for an introduction to first time visitors.

Cork Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide

Our private tour of Cork...

Our private tour of Cork with Noel was a truly exceptional experience. Noel was an outstanding guide who shared his deep knowledge of the city and its history with great enthusiasm. We were particularly captivated by his passion for Ireland's struggle for independence; he brought this pivotal period to life with compelling stories and insights. Beyond the historical details, Noel was also very open and friendly, patiently answering all of our questions about what life is like in Ireland today. His genuine love for his country was evident in every story he told, making the tour both informative and incredibly personal. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Cork and Ireland as a whole. We highly recommend Noel for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and passionate guide.
