Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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"
"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."
"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!!"
"Brenda hat sich Gedanken gemacht und unsere Gruppe aus Frankfurt perfekt durch Cork geführt. English Market, Pub, Seafoodschowder, Sausages, Sweet‘s and Icecream. Sehr gut ausgesucht und in sehr guter Qualität. Sehr empfehlenswert 💚💚 gerne wieder mit Brenda"
"Mary Sol was a wonderful tour guide!! There was confusion at the beginning with our tour time and Mary Sol was able to be accommodating and provide an excellent tour packed with absolutely delicious food/ drinks and interesting Irish history. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and overall a great tour guide. Thank you Mary Sol for such a great experience to go home with! 🙂"

"We did the 3hr. Cork Food Tour with Mary Sol and it was fantastic! Loved seeing the English Market and then heading out to spots around city center with a little history lesson as well. The food stops were varied and all were delicious. Loved ending with a craft beer tasting. "

It also allowed plenty of time for conversation and Mary's deep knowledge of Cork and Ireland really added to our experience. We could not have been more pleased with our tour!"
