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.

More stars required!!

If I could give more stars I would! Darren was absolutely fantastic with his knowledge, tips and tricks and making sure we got the most out of our day. Being with a local and taking us to "off the beaten track" places made our experience invaluable and one we certainly won't forget. He took us to sights you typically wouldn't see on a group tour and a local pub whose food was so delicious we had to ask for the recipe. I cannot stress how much we enjoyed our day with Darren and highly recommend him and his company. Don't hesitate you won't be disappointed.

Blarney Castle and Kinsale Tour from Cork

Bruce_P, Aug 2026

An efficient, educational and enjoyable way to see large city in a large setting

The reasonable, but relatively early departure (9:00 am) and our driver/guide Tommy’s clear instructions on regrouping, enabled our group to see an extraordinary amount of cork and vicinity. Tommy maintained a mix of humor, important historical perspectives and unique passion and intensity for the entire day. Thanks to Tommy’s skills it was the ideal way for us to approach a large city in a large and diverse setting and in one day: have a gratifying respect and appreciation for both its historically major features, its current remodeling efforts and the resilience and compassion of its population.

Beautiful Kinsale!

We met Celia (our guide) at the Irish Welxome Center in Kinsale. She was lovely from the start. Celia was fun, knowledgeable and really allowed the group to travel at our own pace. We met some lovely people from the north of Ireland. We sampled delicious food and enjoyed the beauty of Kinsale.

Wonderful trip of Ireland landscape

While it is a long day, no doubt-this tour was awesome! All the stops were well planned: some for sight-seeing; some for quick potty breaks (which are necessary). Our driver was great(DJ) and the landscape was breathtaking-taking. THIS is what I wanted to see most about Ireland. On to Galway and the Cliffs next!

Ron_W, Aug 2026

Amazing and Fun Blarney Castle Tour

The Blarney Castle tour is so much more than a simple tour. We walked through Blarney Village and learned a bit of history and then went onto the castle grounds. We walked the beautiful gardens and learned so much more than just the castle. Of course we kissed the Blarney Stone and enjoyed the castle architecture and fantastic views at each level. Michael our tour guide was amazing! He had great information to share, but more importantly he was so friendly and patient with our two year old grandchildren. We would highly recommend this tour and Michael and are thankful for the experience.

Kinsale Cruise, Kinsale ( 50 minutes)

Val_M, Jul 2026

Lovely boat trip and a concert!

Great boat trip to view Kinsale from the sea and to enjoy some time on the water. 50 mins start to finish. Boat has a snack bar serving good range of drinks so you can enjoy a coffee or a cocktail and a bathroom. We were expecting a boat trip but got a trip and a concert. The host for our trip was Ciaran Mac who is a wonderful singer who kept us so entertained the fabulous scenery was a shabby second. One of the passengers joined in on a drum and it was a lot of fun. It was Irish hospitality at its best and a lovely afternoon. I have been to Kinsale many times but this was my first time doing the harbour cruise - safe to say it will not be my last.

Private tour worth the coin!

This private tour was soooo worth it! Tony was an awesome tour guide. The car was beautiful and clean. He was very knowledgeable and a great driver…some of those roads were tough to navigate. We saw the most beautiful scenery and were not rushed. We spent time in quaint towns and had a yummy lunch. Definitely recommend Tony and this private tour.

Electric Bike Tour of Kinsale with Expert Local Guide

Gerry_D, Jun 2026

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!
