Hi I'm Paul from Dublin but living in the Rebel County of Cork for over 23 years. I have been a taxi driver in Cork for over 13 years and proir to that I was a transport supervisor and driver , in that time I have travelled nearly every road in the country . During this time I have developed my own style of touring and with every new tour adds a new story to tell with the laughter and enjoyment that it will bring. I am here to bring you and your family and friends on the best experience of Ireland you can dream of with Irish wit and laughter showing you the sights and best Ireland has to offer. I am looking forward to meeting you all and thank you. Paul And a small note Cruise liners can often be late on arrival this will affect your tour time table that I cannot make up unfortunately. But I will try to make sure you still have a wonderful day out in Cork . I am 13 years in the Taxi business and am fully vaccinated in accordance with Health Board requirements . I am a Certified PSV Taxi driver who is fully Garda vetted and insured . I can't take wheelchair passengers Some of the heritage site's we will visit have their own tour guides inside and we will have to respect this. I don't speak any foreign languages but will get along with what we need.

Overview of your Cobh tour

Welcome to Cork, welcome to Ireland! If this is your first visit, I must warn you that the first impression you will get is that you will feel at home. Like an old friend, Ireland will embrace you with its irresistible sense of calm and peace, friendship and welcome. Sweeping landscapes of rich green, music that makes you feel happy, a pint of beer, or a shot of Irish Whiskey in the local pub, friendly and smiling people, that's what Ireland is and it will offer you this and much more. And when you enter the 600-year-old Blarney Castle and grounds its healthy beauty will take your breath away! In Cork, we will visit famous Lenihan's sweet shop, we'll walk the historic English market, opened in 1788, offering local produce and historical places like Elisabeth Fortress and St Fin Barre's Cathedral Head to Kinsale, one of the most picturesque Irish places, wander and go shopping and enjoy lunch in one of its famous eateries. And yes, you will also enjoy panoramic views of the famous Ireland coast!

Paul was an outstanding tour guide. He was very entertaining, which made for a very enjoyable tour. He also knew the area and the history of the area. We saw some amazing views of the Scottish shoreline and the village of Kinsale. I would highly recommend Paul.

We just spent a fabulous day with Paul on the southwest of Ireland. He accommodated our request to see areas of Ireland we haven’t been before. He was personal, humorous and kind. We highly recommend Paul for sightseeing/touring the area. Was a memorable day for us!

Paul is a great tour guide. He didn’t rush us, and gave us plenty of time at each stop, which he created for us. He’s personable, and knowledgeable about the area and took us to amazing sights. We would highly recommend Paul as your tour guide. Happy from Colorado!

We booked a two-day tour of Cork and Kinsale with Paul and we were very happy with his tours. He is an excellent driver (taxi experience), he knows the special places to get excellent views, and he is VERY accommodating and is willing to adjust the schedule per our requests. He's also a great communicator and will confirm all plans in advance. He's also got a great sense of humor and it was a pleasure to see south Ireland under Paul's direction.

Paul was amazing. Took us to great stops, an awesome lunch and the last spot of seeing a 9/11 tribute was the icing on the cake to an amazing day. Paul's humor and knowledge was impeccable. I definitely would recommend him to everyone!!
