Hi there, my name is Sean a Corkman born and bred with Kerry ancestry and lived for a time in Boston Massachusetts, U. S. A. I have a great passion for Ireland's history, scenery , people, sport and music . I guess you could say im about as Irish as they come what with the red hair , a grandfather who played a significant role in The Irish War of Independence and a real love for Ireland and its people. Ive been a tour guide for the last number of years now. All my tours are adaptable to include any requested destination and indeed ive often done tours comprising of places that the customer has picked out themselves. I look forward to hearing from you and be assured that on my tours you will be made welcome and a little music en route will all add to your experience of touring this majestic Irish homeland. I am a fully certified driver with the Irish National Transport Authority who is Garda vetted(Police vetted) and i also hold a TEFL ( Teach English as a Foreign Language) certificate,this ensures that my speech is clear and my diction easy to understand for those on my tours. Many tourists with a little command of the English language have expressed their thanks at the way i delivered my tour trying my best to make sure they understood all the information i have to impart about our beautiful country. There are certain destinations on tour e.g.Blarney Castle or Charles Fort,Kinsale where an admission fee might be needed and i will not be guiding inside,i normally let the customers proceed on their own at this point.

Sean is an AMAZING tour guide! He did an incredible job creating a custom itinerary for my family. He possesses a wealth of knowledge about Irish history and points of interest, and gave helpful tips about how to maximize our time throughout the tour. Travel time between destinations were filled with fascinating background information about our stops, lovely Irish music, and pleasant conversations. Sean clearly takes great care to provide an enriching experience for all and I can’t recommend him enough.

What an amazing day with Sean! He is like an encyclopedia on Irish history. I could not imagine seeing the sights we did without his commentary. If you are in the Cork/Kinsale area, you need to book with Sean. His van is extremely comfortable, and he is delightful! I want to return the favor should he ever make his way to California!

Sean was wonderful! He was great at communicating prior to the tour as well as very accommodating during the tour as we kept altering our plans! We wanted to place patches at the Ringfinnan garden of remembrance for 9/11 firefighters and he went out and figured out ahead of time what we needed and bought us some push pins to use. Then he helped us place them on the memorials and even though it started to pour on us he was not deterred. I highly recommend Sean!

We are Soo happy we picked Sean for our day in Cork. Sean was by far the highlight of our cruise. His local knowledge was priceless. His communication skills were excellent we even played a song or two on the way to put us into the Irish spirit. We only had one full day in cork and Sean made every minute count he knew every place to go he knew had to navigate what to see what to do and with did it with the ablomb and a smile. I have only one thing to say to Sean and that is thank you so much for one of the best days we’ve ever had. Thank you Sean Robert and Ali

Our adventure with Sean was a true memory creating experience. Excellent chauffeur with an immaculate new A/C most comfortable limo van! Attentive and knowledgeable we were guided with animated descriptions, historical legends and facts and with his charming persona! A gentleman helping with some mobility issues we have, ever vigilant and ready to assist. Seeing the area through his eyes was enlightening. All questions answered with ease. We would highly recommend Sean for ANY of his tours after our experience. We would give him more stars than 5 if possible. We saw the off the beaten path gems, vistas and views that were breathtaking. As we plan wish to come back to Cork in the future, Sean WILL be our number one "let's explore some more" choice as guide, chauffeur...and now as we feel we have a new friend in Cork! Cheers and THANK YOU Sean...bravo sir!

Highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable journey through Cork's treasures!
