In service every day since 1998, this one-hour leisurely exploration of the historic town of Cobh uncovers the rich and diverse past of Cork harbour, its surroundings, and the beautifully preserved architectural landscape. The compelling narrative combines the miraculous maritime, emigrant and social history of the region. Cobh was the principal exit point for millions of Irish emigrants to the US.

Across many eras, invasions, departures, entries and usage of the port by various cultures have spun an intriguing narrative that promises to captivate and engage tourists regardless of their personal interests. Developed by the acclaimed Dr Michael Martin, this tour promises to gift you novel understandings and absorbing revelations about global histories in the context where they unfolded.

Solid way to learn about Cobh - Guided tours aren’t usually my jam, but this came in a package so we went for it… and I’m so glad we did! Our guide was friendly, informative and the tour felt intimate. We learned a lot, and I really enjoyed learning about Cobh from a local.

Wonderful Walking Tour of Cobh - Dennis was an amazing local tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about historic events such as the Titanic and the Lusitania! He brought these events to life with the aid of photos, monuments and answering participants’ questions! In addition, he injected some humor into the walk with his personalized stories. I have two words of advice. Book Him! You won’t be sorry.

Fantastic tour! - We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Denis McCarthy as our guide. He shared the history of Cobh and the Titanic and toured us around to the various sights. His insight into the history was also a beautiful personal journey and we loved listening to him! As he spoke we could envision exactly what occurred in Cobh during the Titanic events. Wonderful experience! A must do!

Getting to know Cobh in 60 minutes - Our walk was informative but never dull as our guide took us through the town whilst painting a picture of Cove/Queenstown/Cobh both past and present.Thank you Titanic Trails

Great way to get an overview of Cobh. - Pat was very knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging. His Irish humour and local information (even though he is from the other side of the bridge) was fantastic.

Walk around Cobh - Interesting walk around the town. Great personal stories from the guide. A little tricky around some very hilly terrain.
