Excellent informative tour. - We took the tour today with Aideen, there were about eight of us all of a similar age. Aideen was very informative and personable, her passion for her home city was very apparent. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and it gave us a perspective on Cork that we wouldn't otherwise have.

Great introduction to Cork - Easy to find start location. Mary was informative, friendly and easy to hear (with minor amplification to beat city background noise). Tour length was just right for the weather (if it had been a bit warmer we’d have revisited some locations). Sold the city well enough for us to want to revisit when it’s finished.

Get to know Cork from a local - Great hour and a half walking tour of the main city area between the river branches.
Tour begins at the visitor center and ends at the back of the English Market.
Mary O’Malley was our tour guide and did a great job!
