We had a very fascinating private walking tour of Cork with Bart. Bart is a historian with a true love for his city. We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely and brilliant day, thank you again Bart for sharing your profound knowledge and love for Cork.
Had an amazing day with Bart. He was so engaging and very informative. Best tour we've had in years.
Definitely ask for the English Market tasting tour. Everything was delicious.
You will be glad you went!
It was a real pleasure for our group to have met Bart for a tour of Cork’s history, architecture and culture. What a charming, knowledgeable and witty character this man is, a real credit and ambassador to the city. I was particularly interested in Cork’s medieval history and it’s trading links and Bart was happy to furnish my questions with interesting facts, but also to add in true Irish dry humour along the way which made the whole tour a real pleasure, leaving us all with happy memories of our stay.
At the end of the tour, Bart was more than helpful in suggesting other places we could visit and to ensure we arrived at our next appointment on time. Thanks Bart once again for a fantastic tour, keep up the good work.
Ireland is full of great storytellers and charmers. Bart was just the opposite.
The tour was a bunch of disconnected factoids, many of them irrelevant and wrong - Egypt does not drive on the left, and what it has to do with Cork?
Bart shown the picture of kids picking wooden paving bricks, but not the reason for wooden bricks. The explanation came only after we asked, and it was a great reason. I wish Bart's other random facts were tied to Cork history and way people lived!
The whole group got scalded for not keeping up, and Bart did not wait for small group of 5 people to join him before he started talking. I got accused of recording the talk just because I held the phone in my hand. Not pleasant....
We took 4 walking tours in Ireland - 3 were fantastic, and Bart's was one of the worse we ever took in 30 years of travel.
Bart is personable and does a good tour but his explanations get a bit long winded. We would have preferred a little less information and covering a bit more ground. He was well work the 12 Euros and a very nice person to walk with but we took in one spot for a long time in multiple places and got a bit antsy to move on.
Had a very enjoyable and informative walking tour around Cork city centre. Our tour guide Jack was fully of excellent information and interesting stories.We walked around for about 2 hours but it didn't feel that long at all! We love a city walking tour and this one was top class!
Many thanks for your great review. We really appreciate you taking the time to do that.
