Great way to see and learn about Cork - We booked this tour because our cruise line didn't offer a bike tour and that is our favorite way to see a city. I'm SO glad we did because this bike tour was fantastic. Our guide was informative and we saw a lot of the city without it being too hard of a ride. If you visit Cork on a cruise, it was quite easy to take the train from the port and then walk to the meeting point. Highly recommend!

Cruising through Cork - Our guide was super knowledgeable about Cork’s history and many other things related to the city. I thought three hours may be too long, but the ride passed by so fast because it was so interesting! I’d do it again in the future for sure:)

Great introduction to Cork - Really enjoyable, informative, and friendly. Provided a great introduction to the city and points of interest. Very knowledgeable on the history of the city. The only downside was lack of clear directions on the parts of the tour when on roads, especially if group includes nervous cyclists.
