Stunning beauty

Louis_F, Sep 2024

Mizen Head is absolutely amazing. We had an excellent driver and tour guide. The one unfortunate issue was that 90 minutes was not enough time to take in all the beauty of the area and get lunch.

Thumbs Up

Antje_W, Jul 2024

The guide was excellent. I really appreciated all the information along the way. The bus was top and the trip was superbly organised. The main target itself was (Mizen Head) was awesome, even in typical Irish summer weather.

Mizen Head is breathtaking!

Brian_P, Jun 2024

We had a great time on this tour, our driver/tour guide, Brian did an outstanding job explaining what we were seeing and the history behind it all. We got to walk the Mizen Head bridges, platforms, stairs in perfect weather, never expected that.

Excellent and knowledge...

Christine_M, Jul 2023

Excellent and knowledge guide and safe pleasant driver. The whole day was wonderful and the places we stopped at en route were well chosen.

Beautiful Day at Mizen Head

Linda_S, Jun 2023

Enjoyed this tour. Driver Brian and guide Pat did a grand job. Gave us so much information and answered all questions. I don't know how they managed to drive down some of those narrow roads but they did a good job. I saw very few people put trips in the jar which was a shame. They did such a splendid job. Thank you!

Mizen Head

Guide and driver were amazing! Great value for the money. We had a wonderful day-out blessed by a better then expected Irish weather.

Beautiful trip

Kannadhasan_B, Aug 2022

It was a beautiful trip took us to some great scenic places across west of cork. We really enjoyed visiting all these places. Tour guide who is as well as driving the vehicle a very friendly guy. Only thing we find it uncomfortable or May be disturbing is he was keep on talking the entire trip without interruption. If he gives a break in between, it would be great. Sometimes I like travelling quietly when I went to enjoy the view along the way.

Day well spent!

Lisa_S, Jul 2022

EXCELLENT tour! Highly recommend it. The scenery is breathtaking, plenty of short stops along the way to stretch. Michael was absolutely entertaining and informative! Loved it!

Entrance Fee not included

MaraNatalia_R, Jun 2022

Everything was great! The journey there was beautiful! My only complain is that the entrance fee (€8)to Mizen Head was not included, which seems weird because you are paying a tour to go there and it doesn't include the actual ticket to enter. Just be aware of this additional expense to consider.

Fabulous Mizen Head and thanks to driver and guide Michael for lots of fun along the way

Kim_B, Jun 2022

Mizen Head itself is a must go to if you are in the vicinity. It's beautiful and interesting. Our tour guide Michael was lovely and very funny, keeping us entertained with history, stories, jokes and singing. He made the trip lots of fun. We thought it was very good value for money and really enjoyed our day. A highlight of our holiday.

Mizen Head

Sweta_M, May 2022

Our guide Michael was fantastic and had a memorable trip. We started at Cork and stopped for 30 minutes each in Gougane Bara and Bantry before heading off to Mizen Head. There was one hour stopping at Mizen Head and you have to pay for the ticket to the bridge and lighthouse.I would say it is good to pack your lunch as it having lunch and covering the Mizen head in one hour is a tough call.. The next stop from Mizen head was Clonakilty and again an hour to spend there before heading back to Cork I would like to say that it would have been better if the time allowed in Mizen head was made to 1.30 hours atleast as one hour was too less..And also it will be good to have all the stops mentioned in detail in the itinerary so that traveller's know well in advance and can estimate the time to be spend... But otherwise the trip was too good and memorable and would definitely recommend...

Views are amazing, not the trip

Puneet_G, May 2022

No mention of itinerary in viator or even by the driver on a day. No suggestions on where to go or spend stop time (20/30 minutes) in towns. Only few statements along the entire route. Felt like bus carried us to Mizen Head with few stops and that's all. (Views at Mizen head are amazing)

Stunning experience

Doreen_B, May 2022

Wonderful day out. The weather was perfect. The driver informative. Somewhere I recommend when in Ireland.

Highly recommend this West Cork tour

George_E, May 2022

This tour was everything I had hoped for; and our driver KEVIN was informative, professional and the perfect choice for the West Cork run. So glad I booked this tour!
