Great Friend Ride

Miley made us feel completely comfortable navigating the streets and hillsides of Kinsale. While having a bit of pre-ride anxiety about biking on the roads we felt completely safe during the entire ride. Miley’s history of the town and county were fascinating while stopping to take in the vistas in town and the countryside. All around wonderful trip.

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

Janice_N, May 2026

Don’t Miss Out on Blarney

Great tour with Butler Tours. Great information about the areas we visited and had time on our own to walk the Blarney grounds and take in the beauty. John, our guide, and Kevin, our driver did an excellent job providing details of the sights and navigating the narrow roads. Highly recommend the tour.

Private Tour Blarney Kinsale & Cobh Awarded Badge of Excellence

Susan_S, May 2026

What a great day in Cobh!...

What a great day in Cobh! Our visit to Blarney was so much fun! Our tour guide, Mike, was a gem! He customized the tour according to our interests, and when we asked to visit a “locals” pub for lunch, he delivered! Mike was friendly and knowledgeable, and shared stories so that we were able to get a feel of what it’s like to live in Ireland. Truly a day we will remember for a long time! Communication with Darren was fantastic, and pickup/drop off was seamless. Great excursion!

Hysterical Histories Cork Dinner Theatre Show

Five stars: Fun, funny and a great first-night introduction to Cork We had a terrific evening at Hysterical Histories…

Five stars: Fun, funny and a great first-night introduction to Cork We had a terrific evening at Hysterical Histories Cork Dinner Theatre Show on Thursday, May 14, 2026. The show was fun, funny and just the right length. Written by Angela and Marie, and performed by Angela, Marie and Andrew, with Shannon accompanying on keyboard, it was imaginative, fast-paced and a very entertaining way to learn about Cork’s history, culture and historical locations. As other reviewers have said, this is a great experience to do on your first night in Cork because you will come away with helpful tips for places to visit during the rest of your stay. The dinner was very good, including dessert, and the bonus was meeting other travelers at the table and exchanging sightseeing ideas. Now in its sixth year, this show feels polished without feeling overly scripted. A great mix of comedy, local history, dinner and conversation. Five stars. Highly recommended.

Cork Food Tour

Charlene_A, May 2026

Best in our book!

This tour is 5 star for the Guide and the quality of food samplings. Our guide Kerry, is a phenomenal human. She was incredibly generous with sharing many interesting facts about the city and what it was like to be raised in Cork. The food selected for the tour was so delicious that we went back to buy our own potluck dinner and dessert. You will be very full at the end of the tour as the sampling portions were substantial. Kerry's personal interaction with the vendors and the tour members made this time spent memorable. We have been fortunate to participate in no less than 20 food tours, throughout many countries, and Kerry made this Cork City Food Tour our favorite-to-date.

Top notch tour

We spent a very enjoyable morning with Ann, our charming, knowledgeable, and funny guide. She brought the history of Blarney Castle and the surrounding grounds to life with fascinating stories and humor. Her enthusiasm and insight made the tour both engaging and memorable. I hold no ill will that I didn’t win her bag of Taytos.

Fun little cruise around the bay

A lovely way to spend some time in Kinsale. It’s a beautiful little town and you definitely appreciate it and the surrounding areas in this excursion around the bay (which gives a different perspective). I also enjoyed the narrative and definitely learned more about the area. It was a beautiful day and I definitely recommend it.

Kinsale Culinary Tour

Nancy_L, Apr 2026

You will not want to miss this amazing walking food tour!!

This tour is a MUST!! AMAZING food & beverages. Knowledgeable and EXTREMELY FRIENDLY tour guides. They started by kindly helping us with parking. Then, we were treated to lovely sausage rolls. We stopped at a store and got sweet treats and the most delicious strawberries. After that more walking and history. Followed by a lovely Irish coffee and latte in a little pub. Next, we went to a chocolate shop where the chocolates were made on the premises. You will have a hard time walking away with just a few. Our last stop was lunch. It was fabulous!! Oysters, a lovely fish soup, a salad, and the most amazing piece of fried fish. Accompanied with a glass of wine. As I said, this tour is a must. The tour guides were two of the most lovely ladies I’ve ever met. They took the time to answer our questions and explain the history of Kinsale Ireland.

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.

West Cork & Mizen Head Guided Day Tour from Cork

Nour_D, Jun 2025

Brian and Tour were fantastic!

Our tour guide/driver was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and respectful. Weather gods were on our side, and Mizen head was epic! The little villages along the way were super charming and history-filled. If you run cold like me, bring an extra layer for the bus (I was an exception). Tickets to Mizen head were 7.50 Euros. You must do it! Thank you, Brian, for a great day!
