5.00Our private tour of Cork with Noel was a truly exceptional experience. Noel was an outstanding guide who shared his deep knowledge of the city and its history with great enthusiasm. We were particularly captivated by his passion for Ireland's struggle for independence; he brought this pivotal period to life with compelling stories and insights. Beyond the historical details, Noel was also very open and friendly, patiently answering all of our questions about what life is like in Ireland today. His genuine love for his country was evident in every story he told, making the tour both informative and incredibly personal. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Cork and Ireland as a whole. We highly recommend Noel for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and passionate guide.

Disappointing

2.00We had a very disappointing tour. The tour was limited (i.e. we saw very little of the city) and the information presented was quite repetitive. We enjoyed the explanation of Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. We added Cork to our itinerary based on recommendations from friends (two of whom are Irish), but based on this tour we did not find the city to be especially interesting or charming.
Lots of history

5.00Fabio was an excellent guide. He walked me and my parents through the history of Cork City and pointed out so many little details we would have missed. He was enthusiastic and very present.
