5.00The tour takes 9 hours and stops in several small towns along the way for photos, restroom, or coffee break. Brian, our driver and narrator, was engaging and full of information. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, including walking at Mizen Head.

4.00The tour was wonderful. The Mizen Head is incredibly beautiful. I wish we could spend more time there. Three other stops are also interesting. Each of them has historic and/or cultural value. I prefer having more information from our guide. I doubt that I would be so impressed with the tour if I did not read about all stops. A very important archeological site called Altar is on our route. A 5-min stop there would be beneficial.
Brian and tour were amazing!

5.00Our tour guide/driver was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and respectful. Weather gods were on our side, and Mizen head was epic! The little villages along the way were super charming and history-filled. If you run cold like me, bring an extra layer for the bus (I was an exception). Tickets to Mizen head were 7.50 Euros. You must do it! Thank you, Brian, for a great day!
Awsome tour to Mizen head.

5.00It was actually a weekend trip we did. There is so much to see. We stayed at the Scull Harbour hotel in Scull as it was central to most of our travel.The town of Scull is small a picturess little town with a pretty harbour. Has plenty of pubs and places to eat. Our first visit was to Mizen Head with it's cliffs and visitors centre. I found the cliffs to be nicer than the Cliffs of Moher. There is a nice walk in the centre with the old harbour house and lighthouse. Also a pretty bridge. You have to climb a fair few steps to get to see the whole area but it isn't too bad. Well worth a visit. The town of Scull where we stayed has just outside a area called the Alter. I'll say it goes back to the Viking period. You have to see this and the scenery as well. We also visited Bantry, Clonakility, Skibbereen and a place where there was a cable car in Dorset Island. West Cork is so big, Scull alone is two hour journey from Cork city. This is why we brought our journey going down at Fota Wildlife park. One day is just not enough but a day trip is well worth it but it be a very long day
Great tour & adventure!
