5.00Exceptionally good! Loved the insight into the history of such an amazing city by the brilliant Eddie. Really easy-paced walking for about 90 minutes all in. Couldn't recommend it enough. Fairly priced and quite an intimate group size (6).
A 1000 yr old city built on marsh lands. Conquered by outsiders, Vikings, Normans and Huguenots for centuries.

Highly recommend this tour as a starting point for an introduction to first time visitors.

5.00I really got a sense of the history of Cork and its Centre City. Noel, our guide, was lovely. Patient, kind and knowledgeable. His passion for his community, city and country shown through. He added some personal touches to the tour that were particularly special. Mt favorite was the mural of Frederick Douglass. I did not know that he had been invited by the city of Cork to speak there. Viewing his mural so many miles away from my home in the US and the day after Dr. King’s holiday was especially poignant. Highly recommend.
Great way to learn about Cork

5.00Noel our guide was a retired journalist and had lots of stories and insights to Cork city centre. He was very knowledgeable and brought a new dimension to the city for us with little pieces of information that wouldn’t be generally known The tour was brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know a little bit more about Cork
Excellent way to know Cork
