Absolutely wonderful and charming walking tour with Bart. Myself, my wife and mother in law had the most wonderful few hours with Bart hitting the streets of Cork learning all about its fascinating history from the Vikings through to the Revolution and Independence. The blustery weather didn’t stop Bart (a highly intelligent, engaging and sincere tour guide) from imbuing the three of us with his intricate knowledge of the city and how it went from marshy islands to the lively Rebel county of the 20th century. We learnt about architecture, town planning, wars and revolution and the local commerce. In fact, we learnt so much I needed a lie down afterwords!!! You can definitely tell Bart must have been a charismatic and erudite teacher in his past life. To top it all off, he kindly finished our tour off with a beautiful tasting menu in the English market and a lovely Corkonian goodbye. We’ll definitely try to arrange another tour with Bart next time we are in town visiting family. You should most definitely book yourself in a tour with these guys!…

Bart gave us so much interesting information about the history (and current day) of Cork! He also took several pictures of our family (and sent them to us immediately following our tour) in memorable locations. We had an excellent tasting experience in the English Market to conclude our tour, where Bart introduced us to several vendor/friends. Thanks, Bart, for a marvelous walking tour of Cork!!!…

We were anticipating about an hour-long walk. Jack walked with us all over the city for two and a half hours and filled our heads with the wonderful history of the city, stories and anecdotes; made suggestions and recommendations for other things we might want do, see, eat, drink, etc. My husband and I have taken walking tours all over the world; this definitely ranks as one of the best and most interesting. Thanks, Jack!…
