A Lovely, Interesting Tour of Cork
Renee W,Jun 4, 2024
- Review from Viator
5.00Cork is a lovely, interesting city. Neasa, our local guide, clearly loves showing folks around her beloved Cork. We showed up on a Sunday, and even though some locations were closed (the English Market), Neasa brought these spots alive. She has a wealth of knowledge and an ability to point out even the smallest details that would have been missed had we not hired her for the tour. Overall, this was one of our favorite walking tours that we booked while visiting Ireland.
