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.

What travellers are saying
- Tina BLancashire, UK54 contributionsBrilliant company, staff friendly and helpful, pick up point very close to hotel ( within a few minutes walk) Tony our driver was careful and considerate. Tim our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Great places visited , given enough time in each stops to go your own way or just to sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by. The trip to Blarney was well worth it , we arrived early and beat the crowds. A must as it can get very congested and you’ll have to wait in a very long queue to kiss the stone.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ken MLarchmont, NY9 contributionsFour of us had only a day to explore Kinsale, and we were very fortunate to have chosen this tour. First and foremost, our tour guide Kerry couldn’t have been nicer, more interesting, and more knowledgeable! Each of our five stops offered a different tasting experience - in each case, a table was waiting for us and we were offered a special selection of delightful food and drink. The tastings were all very local and very fresh, and memorable. In between stops, we were able to explore the beautiful and historic Kinsale in a relaxed fashion, with Kerry’s warm conversation and informative descriptions. Definitely the best way we could have spent our day in Kinsale!Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shivasai chCork, Ireland3 contributionsCobh, a charming harbor town in County Cork, offers a variety of fascinating places to visit. Here are some highlights:
1. **Spike Island**: Often referred to as "Ireland's Alcatraz," this historic island has served as a monastery, fortress, and prison. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction where you can explore its rich history and enjoy stunning views of Cork Harbour.
2. **Titanic Experience Cobh**: Located in the original White Star Line ticket office, this interactive museum provides a poignant insight into the Titanic's last port of call. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
3. **St. Colman's Cathedral**: This magnificent Gothic Revival cathedral dominates the town's skyline. Its intricate architecture and panoramic views from the bell tower make it a favorite spot for visitors.
4. **Cobh Heritage Centre**: This museum offers a deep dive into Cobh's maritime history, including its role in the emigration of millions of Irish people and its connection to the Titanic and Lusitania disasters.
5. **Deck of Cards**: These colorful, terraced houses are one of Cobh's most photographed landmarks. They offer a picturesque view, especially when seen from the waterfront.
6. **Fota Wildlife Park**: Just a short drive from Cobh, this wildlife park is home to a variety of animals from around the world. It's a great place for a family outing.
7. **Cobh Museum**: Housed in a former Presbyterian church, this museum showcases artifacts and exhibits related to the town's history, including its maritime and military past.
8. **Cobh Harbour**: Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, enjoy the scenic views, and perhaps even take a boat tour to explore the harbor and its surroundings.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He was very knowledgeable about the history and folklore of the area around Cork, and was delightful to listen to. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys history, beautiful scenery and delicious pub food! My family and I are already discussing when we can come back, and when we do we will definitely be using Mr. Maurice for another tour.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SL WToronto, Canada12 contributionsOur driver, Tony Bennett, was a good guide. We were a large group who wanted to see different sites and he managed to make us all happy! His sense of humour added to the fun! We had the best fish and chips ever in Kinsale!Written 18 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lorena S1 contributionWe recently returned from a 10-day cruise around Ireland and the high point of the entire cruise was our day spent touring Cork and the vicinity with Brian Boru. We had a few places that we wanted to see and then took his recommendations for the remainder of the day. He was friendly, it was easy to ask him questions, and he had a wealth of knowledge of the area and of the history of Ireland. We definitely recommend him and at some time in the future, would like to book a land tour with him. Thanks, Brian, for a great day.Written 14 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MollyMinnesota7 contributionsSo glad we found this place and decided to stop in for a tour and tasting. The tour was wonderful and informative. The mead was delicious!! Padraig was awesome! If you are wondering if you should check this place out, do it! You won’t be disappointed.Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tourist354380780629 contributionsVinnie, our tour guide and driver, was outstanding! He went above and beyond to share his Irish heritage and culture with us. It was so appreciated. I can not imagine a better tour. His love of the beauty of Ireland was infectious. My husband, Tim, and I saw things we would never have seen if not for Vinnie's skill as a tour guide. He took us to the most beautiful places like the Copper Coast and Wicklow Mountains. That man has a quick wit and pure knowledge of the best areas for photos. We were amazed at the sights and delighted with the lunch spots. This was truly the highlight of our trip. Thank you Vinnie for sharing such a love of Ireland with us!!! This made our anniversary trip so very memorable!Written 1 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mitch88SurreySurrey14 contributionsWe had a delightful day with Ronan visiting a number of locations around County Cork. From start to finish it was a great experience. Ronan was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and insightful. We came away crammed with information about the history, geography, politics (and everything else!) about Cork and Ireland and he was able to answer all of our questions. Ronan was able to adapt the day based on our requests and I can’t imagine a better way to see Cork. Thanks Ronan !Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Judy CBarrie, Canada1 contributionThe four of us just got back from this tour and I have to say that it was amazing! Derek’s love for his country and home was evident as he toured us around. He allowed us to tailor the tour to our likes and recommended some amazing experiences that we hadn’t considered and wouldn’t have known about, and took us to some out of the way areas that we would not have been able to get to on a ship’s tour. Derek was on time and had us back to our ship in plenty of time. We would highly recommend this tour. If you book with Derek, you won’t be disappointed.Written 14 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Resort386982724102 contributionsGreat tour with Sean. Kinsale was beautiful. He took us to the Cathedral, Titanic experience, Kinsale and the 9/11 Memorial. I highly recommend him. If we ever return we will definitely hire him again!Written 11 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael S3 contributionsWe were able to secure Darren the morning of and how lucky we were to see beautiful Kinsale with stops at Old Head and the Garden of Remembrance. A delicious lunch reco as well.
Very knowledgeable of the Wild Atlantic Way. We planned the following day with Darren’s suggestions. Highly recommended for a customized tour guide. Friendly and full of interesting local information.Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I contacted Brian to bring a load of steam engine drivers(mostly from uk and up country ireland)on a day break tour from a run we were doing for the rnli. To say that nothing was an issue was an understatement. The time was given and he was there, the crew raved about Brian, his knowledge of the local area and the hospitality they were given on board. I cannot recommend this asset to kinsale highly enough being from kinsale myself, just top class. A must do if visiting kinsale. Have the crack, see the sights, bring a few beers if you want and Brian will entertain. Even throw a rod and catch a few fish while your at it. Top class, not 1 person on the boat had a bad word to say about the experience.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
