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

Well, what can I say, bar the Irish Gift of The Gab, 1 of our most famous exports is Jameson Whiskey. I will take you to the world-famous Distillery and after the tour sample the delights of Their special wares, did you know that John Jameson was originally from Alloa in Scotland? Whisky versus whiskey! Then whisking you off to Blarney Castle where you can relax in the Castles 600 year old grounds and gardens, originally built as a stone castle in 1210, and the present look is credited to Dermot McCarthy, King of Munster, and is one of the strongest surviving towers in the country. On then to Cork City, the culinary capital of Ireland, for lunch and there's no better introduction to Cork's foodie scene than the fantastic English Market. We'll do a few whistle-stop tours of some of the City's most famous landmarks like Elizabeth Fort. #Note this tour cannot do all 3 together in the time frame so must be customized to suit your likes . I look forward to meeting you and spending time with you on these tours

Paul was our guide and he communicated with us so that we easily found him in port. He made sure that we had plenty of time at the Blarney Castle. Then off we went to the Jamison Distillery stopping along the way to see some highlights and a beautiful view of the city from a high vantage point. He was great and worked with us to make sure we had the best time. We were fortunate to have picked Paul as our tour guide.

One of the best tours we've ever had: Paul was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of each place we visited and all the places we drove past on the way. He was funny and energetic and kept things moving the whole tour. We highly recommend this tour and Paul as a tour guide!

Our day with Paul was awesome! He has such a fun personality and we had a great time. He picked us up from our cruise ship right on schedule and was able to get us to Blarney castle well before all of the tour buses. He gave us all the tips we needed to kiss the Blarney Stone and then took us to Jameson just in time for our tour. He knows alot about Whiskey too! We had a wonderful day and highly recommend Paul and this tour.

Paul was great…..on time, friendly and full of fun details about the area. His local knowledge allowed us to get into Blarney Castle with minimal wait time, and to maximize our time. We enjoyed his hurling demo, and our Midleton tour. Great day and tour with Paul.
