What people are saying about Cobh

Nice trip, well organized, perhaps too much time in Blarney at the expense of Cork where we didn't even have half an hour to visit it on foot.

This was a very well-paced and informative tour. I had time to soak in the sites and take a lot of photos. David was a great tour guide.

We had a great guide in Patrick, who was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We learned a lot and had a good time, thank you

Guide Pat was amazing. Incredible breadth of knowledge that extended far beyond Titanic stuff. A highlight of my trip!

Got to experience and visit some extreme places in beautiful Cork!
