5.00We had an amazing time on this tour!! So much beautiful scenery to see and interesting history to hear!! So worth the cost to have a private tour. In our opinion, the guide makes or breaks the tour, and Maurice is the absolute best!! He is so kind, a ton of fun and went above and beyond! He is someone you can tell truly loves his job and loves people! We feel really blessed to have met him, and to have spent a couple days with him!
Amazing day!!!

5.00We had a wonderful day on our private tour to Blarney Castle, Kinsale, Cork, and Cobh. Maurice was our driver and he was terrific. Most importantly, we were 1st in line at Blarney Castle, and that started our day off splendidly. We went straight up the stairs and our group was first to the Blarney Stone on top of the castle. On the way down, we visited all the remaining areas of the castle and could already see the line was at least an hour long wait. We roamed the gardens, saw the Blarney owners' house, and learned a lot of history. We ate lunch and walked a bit in Kinsale, stopped for some photos in Cork, and then visited the Cobh Cathedral. Maurice knew the best picture spots and was really a joy to be with for the day. We all highly recommend him as your guide/driver.
Super kind when plans changed

5.00Our cruise ship had to skip the port due to weather delays. Although we were unable to take the tour, Maurice was so kind and understanding. We hope to return next year and will definitely book this tour again!

5.00Maurice was absolutely awesome. Our tour was so informative and tailored to our personal interests. Being a local, he not only knew all about the area but seemed to know everyone we met along the way. We could not have been more pleased with our day in Cork with Maurice.
Excellent tour!

5.00Maurice was AMAZING! Informative, funny and professional. The 5 star review began with his communication prior to the tour itself. He picked us up on time in his beautiful car and we were off. The sun came out, and he told us about the history of the landmarks and places we passed along the way. If you take one tour while in Ireland, this should be it!
