10/10 Experience- Sean is the best! - In the past I have travelled to Ireland with family, but this time I decided to make the journey with friends. We were staying in Cork for three days and wanted to make sure we saw all that Cork City had to offer. Sean was perfect for the job. He was able to show us all of the historical landmarks and unique spots in the city that we would've otherwise missed had we been left to our own devices. He frequently stopped the van so that we were able to get out, walk around, and explore on our own. We made stops at St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, Blackrock Castle, and the Blarney Stone and the Woollen Mills to name a few. Sean is truly so knowledgable about all things Cork and did not hesitate to capture the perfect photo for us. These photos are some of my friends and I's favorite pictures from the trip to look back on. I would highly recommend booking with Sean if you want a proper tour and are looking to gain incredible insight into the beautiful history that is Cork.

BEST tour EVER! - BEST TOUR EVER! My 5 friends and I were on a 3 day trip to Cork. Being unfamiliar with the area we decided to book with Sean to get a tour of the city from someone who knows the city best! this was the best decision we could have made. Sean was incredibly knowledgeable about the city of cork and all of the surrounding areas. He made sure my friends and i didn't miss a good photo opportunity (and was a great photographer at that). Sean also let the girls and i take our time in the wool mills shop and never made us feel rushed!! i would 1000% recommend Sean and any of his tours to everyone coming to Cork.
