Highlights
- Oliver Plunkett Street - Oliver Plunkett Street is the longest street and the most-trafficked shopping district in Cork. Here we’ll visit our first shop along with checking out various other shops in the area.
- The English Market - One of the oldest and certainly the best covered market in Europe, it has survived famine, flood, war, fires, and multiple recessions to remain a strong part of Cork’s retail environment. In the English Market, we’ll provide a brief overview along with highlighting some of our favorite shops in the market. We recommend coming back after the tour to spend more time here.
- Bishop Lucey Park - Bishop Lucey Park is a public park located between Grand Parade and South Main Street in the centre of Cork in Ireland. It is one of few green spaces in the city centre and among the largest.
- National Monument - Early Irish Gothic national monument commemorating the rebellions, unveiled in 1906. We’ll give a brief history of this monument and how it relates to the history of Cork.
- Rory Gallagher Memorial Sculpture - Honorary bronze statue of the renowned native rock & blues guitarist in a plaza dedicated to him. You’re welcome to take some photos with Rory while we tell you a bit about him and his relationship to Cork.
- Crawford Art Gallery - Known informally as the Crawford, it was designated a ‘National Cultural Institution’ in 2006. We’ll briefly walk past and provide some history around the gallery and why we think it’s important to the history of Cork.

A great experience, walking shoes a must. Drinks are provided on the walking tour but carrying own water bottle optional. Thank you Mary for sharing your knowledge with us about Cork.

Interesting and delicious tour!! - The under ground donut tour of Cork was truly a great experience!
We loved the donuts and pastries of course but our guide Marisol was very friendly, relaxed and extremely informative. We learnt a lot in 2 hours!
The Brazilian churros at the end were to die for 🥳.
I highly recommend this tour for all visitors to Cork City

Gorgeous city tour with amazing history and yummy treats! - This tour was our favorite activity in Cork! Of course the donuts were awesome, but even better was learning the amazing history of this town, back to its viking settlements and up through the Easter Uprising and civil war. What a history! Paddy was absolutely amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the tour!

Yummy!!! - What a great way to begin our Irish adventure. We had a family group of 17, ages 1-70, and this was our first tour in Ireland. There was something for everyone - food, fun and facts. We absorbed the amazing history of Cork - filling both our tummies and minds. I would highly recommend this tour. Bring your “brollie” or rain jacket, though. The weather can turn on you.
