Darren was fantastic! Really enjoyed the At-your-own-pace experience. We saw a lot of the area around Cork. Darren was full of information and very welcoming. His “hospitality” and laid back approach was great.

I had an incredible private tour with Darren. The experience was completely personalized, and he went above and beyond to tailor the itinerary around Ireland’s breathtaking scenery, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Our conversations along the way were a highlight and made the day feel less like a tour and more like a wonderful road trip with a friend. I learned so much about local history and the Irish perspective, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. We went to Blarney Castle, then a scenic drive to the Old Head of Kinsale, delicious fish and chips in picturesque town of Kinsale, and a harbour view from Charles Fort.

Darren is great! He let us go at our own pace and was very accommodating. He took us to the best spots and we absolutely had the best day. Can’t thank him or recommend him enough! If you’re thinking of booking this tour, don’t hesitate!

My daughter and I had such a lovely time with Darren. He drove us to Blarney Castle (with a stop at the Blarney Woolen Mills), Old Head cliffs, and Kinsale. He took great pictures of us, and made sure we had a reservation for lunch a great little restaurant with a view of the sea. He even showed us where to walk the next day for a tour of Cork sites. I highly recommend his tour!

Darren gave us a glimpse of true Irish life on this tour. We enjoyed history, nature and delicious food! The scenic routes and the friendly conversation led to a delightful and charming day! He allowed us to choose the pace of the day and spend as much or as little time at each of the attractions. Strolling the gardens in the late fall at Barney Castle was unforgettable! The colors were beautiful and there were really no crowd. We are already planning to go back for more shopping at the woollen mills. A very relaxing day. We would highly recommend this your.

We arrived in Cork with an idea of a plan and Darren made it both unforgettable and beyond comparison. Meeting him was a happy accident and he proceeded to show us around for two days, even taking us on to our next destination. From recommendations around Cork city to breathtaking sites around Kinsale, it truly was the star of our trip.

Darren was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went to all the spots we had discussed first thing in the morning and went to a marvelous place for lunch.

I’m rewriting this review b/c I’m not sure the other went through. Darren was an absolute wonderful guide. He tailored our day to things we were interested in and was very knowledgeable about everything because he grew up in the Cork area. Everywhere we went ….. people seemed to know him which speaks to his likeable personality. He even threw in a little golf tour event which will be such a memory for my husband. What an awesome day we had with Darren. We give you an A++++ review!!!!!
