Cork Private Tours Testimonials

What our previous guests have to say.

Winifred

I booked Maurice for a trip to take American friends around Cork. It was a fantastic day. He had immense knowledge of the area and the local history. He is such an entertaining guy so nice and so pleasurable to be with. I could not recommend him highly enough. The tour took in Kinsale, Cobh and Blarney my visitors had a fantastic trip around Cork. His car was immaculate and his time keeping perfect.

Kilworth, Cork, Ireland

 Jason

My company, based in the UK & Singapore booked Maurice to take me from my home to Dublin Airport about a 2hr 30min Journey. Maurice arrived on time and was very polite and kindly waited until I said good bye to my family. I can’t thank Maurice enough, it was a great trip and I would highly recommend Maurice whether it was a simple trip to the airport or a day trip around Ireland. The car was immaculate, spacious, safe and very comfortable for the journey. Thanks Maurice

Cead Mile Failte to Cork on Private Tour Irelands Second Capital

Cead Mile Failte to Cork on Private Tour Irelands second capital also known as the rebel county.  Situated on Ireland's south coast and connected to the North Atlantic Ocean by Cork and Cobh Harbours.  The mighty city flourished despite Viking raids and occupation by the English Forces.  

Splitting Cork in half is the River Lee which flows through the City from its source in the beautiful Gougane Barra.  Cork people are very laid back and liberal, and Cork is classed as a very cosmopolitan City in Ireland, but it holds on tightly to its culture and traditions.  There are many Cork City guided private tours from The English Market, Cobh, Kinsale and the popular Blarney Castle.   

The developing college scene from University College Cork, snug pubs, music festivals and artisan restaurants keep the city young, hip and alive.  Cork people are known to be full of heart and extremely proud of their city and their GAA (Irish football and hurling) traditions.

Cork Top Things to See and Do

private tour guide cork ireland

Travel Tips for Cork

Ireland can be visited at any time of the year as the weather is very unpredictable. The summer months from June to August are usually mild with a good chance of sun. While is not anything close to the Mediterranean Cork sightseeing tours have a lot to offer from tours of the county including Blarney, Cobh and Kinsale.

Cork private guided tours and accommodation are more reasonable than other regions in Ireland. Most of the Cork sighseeing tours to see and things to do have an entrance fee. Eating out is very reasonable from 5* restaurant to amazing street food and eclectic eateries.

The weather is very unpredictable so always be prepared. Ireland shuts down in terms of traders, shops and pubs (bars) for three days every year Holy Thursday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day. Use accredited tour guides always for your Cork custom private tours.

The summer months from June to August are usually mild and sunny and lovely to visit coastal sightseeing hotspots. Autumn and spring are stunning and picture perfect. The winters are wet and harsh from October to February.

Cork’s folksy, earthy, local charm never fails to impress, and it’s easy to see why travellers who come here to get lost in the town’s wealth of hidden Guinness pubs, tight-knit cobblestone alleyways, haunting gothic churches, canal-side shopping streets and mind-blowing array of worldly eateries find it so difficult to leave.

Between the lichen-spotted remnants of the Red Abbey, the old Cork Gaol and the mythical bulwarks of nearby Blarney Castle, the city’s past blurs the boundaries of history and legend, while its Old World drinking holes – all clustered around bustling Barrack Street – do well to create that fabled Irish Epicureanism. True to its claim as Ireland’s second capital, it also boasts a modern and edgy side, for which Cork tourist guides often point travellers to the Cork Vision Centre artistic space, the various galleries peppering the city’s University College, or even onto the tail end of the inebriated Rebel Pub Crawl. There are also oodles of nature pursuits on offer here – with whale watching opportunities along the coast, and hiking trails aplenty in the greater Cork County region.

Tell us your destination, date, and group size.

Our team of travel experts and guides will design a tailored itinerary just for you., enjoy your trip with peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of..

Killarney Tour Guide - Mary O.

Hello, and welcome to my tours page. I have been a licensed tour guide since the eighties, initially working as a tour director on coaches for Ireland's largest incoming tour operator. I started my private luxury car tours after two decades as a tour director. I love sharing the passion and knowledge I have accumulated with visitors today. I travelled a lot in my youth and lived in France for 12 years, where I worked initially for American Airlines and later as a city tour guide. I am bilingual in French. I also spent two years in Italy, both in Rome and Sorrento. I no longer speak Italian, but I can understand it and absolutely love listening to it. I like to read, walk my dogs, and play bridge in my spare time. I operate all the classic tours but can customise each to your interests. I am a recent graduate in genealogy from University College Cork, so I can put you in the right direction as to where to find the necessary records if you're researching your Irish ancestry. If you already know where they come from, I can tailor a tour around that for you. Don't hesitate to contact me and let me know what you want. Thanks for reading.

We can provide a range of vehicle options to suit your touring needs. For most groups, the deciding factor in your choice of vehicle will be the number of guests.

The minivan is great for small groups and families looking to see Ireland. These Air-Conditioned luxury vehicles take up to 4 passengers (with luggage) in comfort and style.

Driver-Guides

One of the most important aspects of a tour is having the right guide. All of our driver-guides (one person) have a deep love and understanding of Ireland's history and culture. Not only are they fully qualified drivers and tour guides but they also bring a wealth of experience, personal knowledge and warmth to their job. Nearly half of all of our reviewers mention their diver-guide by name. This is not a coincidence. You can find out more about our driver-guides here .

Irish Airports

The main transatlantic and long-haul airports in Ireland are Dublin and to a lesser extent Shannon . The vast majority of transatlantic flights come through Dublin. There are also airports in Belfast , Cork , Kerry and Knock (Ireland West Airport) but these are for regional (European and UK) destinations only.

The Irish national carrier is Aer Lingus , though many international airlines do long-haul flights into Ireland. For European flights, Ryanair and Aer Lingus are the main two, though again there are countless other airlines operating flights from Ireland to the rest of Europe.

Airport Transfers

Airport transfers come as standard on all our private tours. Your driver-guide will meet you at the airport, to start your Irish tour in style. Please note, that flights are not included in our prices unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Private Tours Vs Scheduled Tours

Tours of Ireland can be broken down into two broad categories: "Scheduled" or "Private". The first thing you should consider when booking a a tour is which one is right for you. There are pros and cons to each type of tour. Lets take a look...

Option 1: Arrange a Private Tour

Private tours are tours that can depart on any date and visit almost any location in Ireland. The major benefit of private tours is that you are in control. You set the pace of the tour, you decide on the locations to be visited and how long you wish to stay there. You typically won't meet other tourers on a private tour but you will have more free time to meet local people. If you don't mind the lack of a built-in social group (of a scheduled tour) there is no finer way to see the island of Ireland. The freedom to go where you want, when you want and at your own pace is the main reason people choose private tours.

Freedom and flexibility

Unique itinerary, less social, option 2: book onto a scheduled tour.

Scheduled tours are tours that depart and arrive on preset dates and adhere to a set itinerary with little deviation. On a scheduled tour you and your group will typically be touring on a bus with people you have not met before. They are an excellent and cost-effective way to see Ireland and great for meeting new people. Though they lack the total freedom of a private tour they do have a built-in social group in the other tourers. The social aspect of meeting new people and the cost are the main reasons people choose scheduled tours over private tours.

Social atmosphere

Fixed departure times, fixed itinerary, which one is right for me.

Often times a person looking for a private tour can find a scheduled tour that fits their needs. It may be worth looking at our scheduled tours to see if there is something that suits you. Our Mini Group Tours (maximum of 8 people) are a great compromise between private and scheduled tours. Researching scheduled tours is also a great way to find some inspiration for what you may want on your private tour. Alternatively, you can get in touch with us and we will guide you through the process of booking a private or scheduled tour just for you.
