Very interesting - Very interesting on the history of Cork and pre production. Not really a factory more of a warehouse and initial processing and manual grading. The palletised cork is then shipped out to factories for conversion to finished items. All the grades and uses were explained in some detail

Very interesting - Very informative and interesting tour. Learned a lot. Our group was double the size of the usual one, so at times difficult to see/ hear the guide, otherwise would be 5 stars.
