Highly recommended. Kevin, our guide was quite helpful.
Only 2 'attractions' were actually visited. Guide did not provide any information along the way. He did not speak between stops.
A little disappointed and the feeling of having spent the day on the bus: too much driving and not enough time to really visit at each stop (30 min except at Mizen Head). A return to Cork at 6 p.m. was announced: in the end, we were back at 5 p.m.! It would be good to indicate the planned time for each stop on the program. 30 min in Clonakilty is really too short to visit. Otherwise the landscapes of Mizen Head are magnificent but even there we only had 1h30 to visit at mealtime, it is also too short to see everything. Tip: Bring your picnic to save a little time.

The tour bus driver was very good. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Mizen Head was amazing.If anyone has a chance to go to Mizen Head it would be a highlight of Ireland.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your fantastic review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day with us and that our driver helped make your experience so memorable. Our team is passionate about showcasing the very best of West Cork, so it is wonderful to know that their friendly service and local knowledge made such a positive impression. We couldn't agree more about Mizen Head. Its dramatic coastal scenery, spectacular cliffs and iconic footbridge make it one of Ireland's most breathtaking destinations, and we're thrilled it was a highlight of your trip. Thank you for recommending the tour.
The trip was great. Interesting stops but the spectacular thing is Mizen Head, yes it is worth 7.5 euros but I do not understand that you get there and do not pay them. If it would be great a little longer at the stops. Maybe coming back at 20, for example, I'd have time to really enjoy everything. Driver a crack.
Very interesting trip, beautiful views and warm felt driver & guide Brian. Totally worth the money
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the trip, the beautiful scenery, and the experience overall. Brian will be delighted to hear your kind words. His warm welcome, local knowledge, and passion for sharing the best of the region always make tours extra special for our guests.
Our driver was wonderful, explaining the agenda, telling local history along the way, and even treating us with a brief singing performance near the end of the trip. His narration made the longish travel times go by pleasantly. The country side and small towns on the way to Mizen Head were a highlight of our trip to Ireland. Definitely worth a day, and possibly in place of the touristy blarney castle.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that your journey to Mizen Head was such a memorable highlight of your trip to Ireland. It’s fantastic to know your driver’s storytelling, local knowledge, humour, and even the musical performance helped make the journey both enjoyable and engaging along the way. The scenery, colourful towns, and rugged coastline along the route really do make West Cork a special experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled you found the tour such a worthwhile alternative for exploring the authentic beauty of the region.
The driver was very professional and a magnificent guide. He informed us about all aspects of the excursion, the stops, the time available at each stop, as well as the history of all the sights we passed through. We had a day with typical Irish weather, some rain, clouds and some wind. The experience at Mizen Head was spectacular, seeing the waves break against the cliffs is something indescribable. There's no danger because the whole perimeter is fenced. If you have a drink in the visitor center do not miss the Chowder, delicious.
All right, the driver made the experience very enjoyable, but I would arrange the visit with more time on the cliffs.
Brilliant day trip from Cork City too see Ireland's most southern point at Mizen Head. Very enjoyable and transported to some other beautiful places en-route👊
