Breda was a great guide Very knowledgeable with good information. If she didn’t know the answer to our questions she was honest about it vs other guides we have had gave multiple answers they had heard. Honesty is always best! She was very personable as well.
We had the best experience with this tour and our guide Breda. She walked us through various parts of Cork and we learned a ton about history, food, and drink along the way. The private tour gave us time to ask questions and learn more along the way. Breda made sure to personalize her comments and recommendations along the way based on who we were which was a super special addition. We can’t recommend this tour (and Breda!) enough.
Breda was a fantastic guide for our private tour of Cork. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer or kinder person to show us all of the highlights of the city. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a feel or Cork, learn some of its fascinating history, and find a few good spots around town for food and drink along the way. Thanks so much for helping us start our visit to Cork in such a special way!
Tour provided a nice walk around Cork & a bit of its place in Irish history. Also good recommendations for dining and music.
Rose is an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable, personable and engaging. The pace of the tour was perfect and she tailored it to meet our expectations. I would highly recommend for future tours
Great to hear you enjoyed Cork Private Walking Tour with Travelling Ireland. Thank you for your lovely review. Take care
Don’t wait any longer to book your private walking tour of Cork. My husband and I have actually booked quite a few walking tours in Europe and they are worth it every time. You get a live expert of the area who knows it all. Our tour with Aideen in Cork was exceptional. Aideen shared the history and also added family history which made it even better. We traveled to Ireland with my parents, my brother, and his wife and they were skeptical about the walking tour. Aideen sure changed their perspective by the end! They couldn’t not stop talking about how awesome it was to hear it from a locals perspective. She was one of a kind. Don’t wait to book your tour today. You won’t regret it.

Neasa was very knowledgeable about Cork and its history. She showed us things we never would have seen just wandering around. Great walking tour!
Great review Thanks Delighted you enjoyed the Cork Private Walking Tour with Travelling Ireland. Take care.
Great friendly and knowledgeable guide. Just the right split of walking and info, with lots of local lore and tips. We saw things we wouldn't have seen on our own. Helped us get a lay of the land. She used to be a teacher so she's very good at speaking in a way that is easy to follow and retain. Highly recommend!
Great review Thanks Delighted you enjoyed the Cork Private Walking Tour with Travelling Ireland. Take care.
We had a great and comprehensive time exploring Cork with our most excellent guide Breda. She was kind enough to take us around the city on a late booking that started at 1600 and even spotted me an umbrella when I forgot one. Despite the rain and wind she kept my attention by not only walking us around the city but also painting the story of its rich history. We had a mix of history from the city’s inception all the way to more modern times. She ended the tour with a bunch of restaurant and pub recs as well. Really wonderful way to get familiar with the city.
Thank you very much for your lovely review Jordan. Delighted you enjoyed the Cork Private Walking Tour with Travelling Ireland. Take care and enjoy your vacation in Ireland.
