Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We love wandering the streets with Mary, learning so much about the history of this great city as we munched on lots of good local treats! At the end of our tour we were happily stuffed and well informed! Mary is delightful! Don’t hesitate to engage with her!!"
"Mary was amazing and so very knowledgeable. You can tell that she loves her job and is taken care to learn a lot about Cork. We would definitely do another tour with Mary and hope the other guides are as wonderful as she is."
"Our party of 5 enjoyed our 10 Tastings of Cork tour with Mary Sol. She responded quickly to our communications. She was very knowledgable of the area and flexible with our group. We were able to try several delicious local restaurants and she provided us with the a lot of information on the unique history of the city. The portions on this tour were very large, we could not finish everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. "
"Brenda was a great host. We enjoyed our food and drink tour in Cork. I wish we had more time in the market with a few more tastings from a variety of vendors. Drinks were varied and generous. Some sort of mini speaker would be great because it was hard to hear with the city noise. With that said we enjoyed our tour and our time with Brenda"
