Good tour, not an awful not to the distillery in fairness but interesting non the less. The product is far more interesting than the tour!

Morris_K, Apr 2024

Missed your and customer service ( Joan) couldn’t direct me when I called for assistance as I thought your left from cobh, and I called and she started reply, then she said she needed time, and never completed my help request. I then rushed to Midleton to take private tour with me daughter. Refund is kindly requested please

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Morris, sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with your booking. We don't have anyone with the name Joan working here at Clonakilty Distillery. Is your complaint with Viator customer service or perhaps with another distillery? We are located in West Cork, over an hour drive from Cobh. If you can email us at visitorcentre@clonakiltydistillery.ie with your booking reference, we can investigate further. Ewan (Clonakilty Distillery Visitor Experience Manager)
