Cork Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This tour at Middleton Distillery was the best. Our guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable about the whole process of creating the three J's. I highly recommend this experience for everyone, even those who aren't keen on whiskey.

Excellent! Our guide Joe was fantastic! Be sure to include the tasting experience for lovely samples throughout the tour.

It is a great way to see Kinsale and get a little history on the area. The staff was very knowledgable and friendly

Was a great tour around where yiu got to see most of the attractions around kinsale from a distance as well as getting to enjoy the harbor, the pick up was a little difficult to find as the boat hadn't returned from its tour yet, but once it was back it was quite obvious There was space upstairs for everyone and food on board to buy

Delicious dinner and talented cast! A fun way to learn the extensive history of Cork.

It is well worth the time to try this tour. You will see parts of kinsale that you will not see otherwise. Miley our tour guide also was fun and informative. You do not have to be an avid cyclist to enjoy this tour.

Wonderful e-bike trip through Kinsale with Miley. We would highly recommend this trip.

Josh's extensive knowledge of the Beatles and Liverpool made our experience one of the best tours we've been in. Josh taught us things about song lyrics we had never associated with the true meaning- incredible! Josh didn't rush through any important points of interest on the tour, he accommodated us with a few non scheduled stops. Josh had a great personality and we felt very comfortable with him and talking about our love of music! The "cab" we toured in was extremely comfortable and spacious. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour and if you're lucky to have Josh - enjoy every second!

Wonderful evening filled with good food, fine performances with a bit of everything Irish, including a laugh or three.

Our tour group decided to visit Kinsale Mead Co as a last minute add on, and I’m so happy we did! Our mead guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We got to taste the best honey I’ve ever had and, of course, delicious mead. It was a delightful afternoon, and a fun way to learn some Irish history.

I had an absolutely wonderful time with Maria sol

A fun stop to learn about real history. Plenty of information and stories to get the gist about the prison and prison life. The grounds are actually beautiful... I wish all the buildings had been saved.

The Midleton Youghal Greenway is a superb addition to Tourism in East Cork, not only is it beneficial to people living in both towns, the fact that it starts from Midleton Railway Station puts it on the doorstep of everyone living in Cork City, as well as those living in places like Glounthaune on the railway line. From Midleton, the Greenway travels East with nice mature trees along the way. There are toilets at the old stations in Mogeely and Killeagh, both location having coffee shops open a lot of the time. As the title suggests the Greenway travels straight across flat countryside. In May we had a bit of a headwind going east, but then of course a tailwind returning east.

Great experience - a really knowledgeable tour guide, a wide range of the city, delicious bites!

We absolutely loved our experience with Derek. ! He was incredibly friendly, personable, and informative, making our time together both enjoyable and memorable. He shared interesting information along the way and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire trip.The van was very comfortable, and everything was relaxed and easy from start to finish.We would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional private driver!

Robin was an amazing tour guide. We made all the stops on our itinerary including a fabulous lunch stop he recommended. He even found me the exact place I had taken a picture a few years ago. He shared a lot about the local culture and people, and we left with a much better sense of the area. Highly recommended.
