5.00Mary was a lovely host sharing knowledge of donuts, Cork, and Ireland. I love that to go bags were encouraged vs having to eat it all at each stop. Mary did prepare us properly to save room for the last stop best eaten there. If you are doing this with kids know that it’s more of a sweets vs just donut tour. All are lovely and yummy but set expectations that it’s not all donuts all the time.
A sweet way to discover Cork!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cork. It’s a great way to get to know the city while also discovering some of its best independent bakeries, and it gives you great ideas for places to revisit later during your stay. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and Mary Sol did a fantastic job!
