Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Damian was amazing! The tour was filled with charisma and plenty of jokes. The team of performers were engaging, yet informative about the history of the city. His projection was so loud it had onlookers stopping at every turn. 7PM call-time was great too if you’re looking for an evening tour.

What a fantastic way to learn about Cork city! So much fun! The ghostly apparition that popped up here and there was very entertaining (5stars for this alone). The main walk was pretty easy, in case anyone was worried about lots of walking. We got to see and learn things about Cork and it's history that were really interesting, very entertaining and almost always funny! all delivered in a fantastic, friendly and warm manner (which seems pretty standard for everyone we met on our trip to Cork). I will def do this tour again next time I visit and have waxed lyrical to anyone who cares to listen about how good it was. We've done a few ghost walks aswell as a fair few walking tours in other places; this one was def one of the best and almost definitely the most fun! Thank you for teaching us some new stuff and making us laugh along the way. Cam & Ella (London)

We had a brilliant time hearing about the history of Cork interwoven with great stories of different people along the way. It was really high energy and fun and had the whole lot of us laughing constantly. We saw parts of the city we never would have seen and learnt stuff we never would have learnt. Would highly recommend it to everyone- beware of strange women jumping out at you!!!

We were thoroughly entertained by Mr Damian Punch, a master storyteller who provided rich historical and cultural insight to spins his ghoulish tales. Our tour began in the city centre near the Opera House and meandered along the river and through the Shandon historic district where the paranormal came to life. A family friendly outing that was great value. I would highly recommend it.

It’s amazing how much you can learn about a city especially when you’ve spent 40 years living in it! I would highly recommend the Ghost Tour to anyone!! We all had great craic!
I brought some work colleagues again last Saturday night on a work do and they really enjoyed it. I must say, it was just as funny the second time as the first, Damian and co are brilliant.

Damian (and his ghost partner) were amazing! We learned way more about the city of Cork than we expected. He was funny and extremely knowledgeable. We met up in a drizzle that turned into full blown rain but had so much fun diving around the alleys and streets. It was just over an hour and gave us plenty of time to wander around. Highly recommend.

My grandparents came to visit me here in Cork from the US and we decided to buy tickets for this tour. They spent two weeks in Ireland and said this was one of their favorite things they did. I definitely recommend! You learn a lot about Cork in a very entertaining way. A great tour for all ages.

Great experience. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting cork or even living in cork. Damian and team were very good at facilitating and involving our 8 year old in the fun and scares. As we felt our 5 year old was too young we gave her head phones but the content i think would be over alot of younger kids head. So fun for all

Like the title says, this was the best ghost tour I've ever been on. Others felt more like history lessons compared to this. The story telling, humor, and hidden surprises made it immersive and so much fun! We were very happy to be the last tour of the summer and can't recommend it highly enough.

Written 18 February 2017
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the query. We have not set the dates for this year yet, we generally run through the Summer, last year we stopped at the end of August; but this year we may run into September as interest seems high ( please note we do take group bookings throughout the year). Start time Cork Ghost Tour 7pm. The tour takes aprox. 1 hour, sometimes a few minutes more, if there are questions. It's about 2km in distance. Last year we charged €14 per person, €9 for students and €32 for a family ticket (2A&2C).
I can keep you informed to our dates as we set them. When were you thinking of coming?
