Private escorted tour of Cork, Blarney Castle, Jameson distillery and Cobh. Max 8 passengers

Maurice did a great job of getting us in and out of all of the spots on our tour efficiently and with minimal effects from the massive crowds. He has a long history of doing these tours and had enormous knowledge of the city of Edinburgh and its place and history in the British Isles. He was able to personalize the tour as we went as he learned more about us and what we knew of Scottish history and what we liked to see.

We absolutely loved our guide Maurice! The four of us are cruise ship passengers and only had one day to see the sites. We had already done Blarney, so Maurice took us to Kinsale. Loved seeing that small, quaint town. Maurice stopped at a few places for us to get some photos, and also a surprise stop. On our return to Cork/Cobh, we stopped at the Midleton distillery in Cork County so my husband could do a small tasting, and select a whiskey for our son-in-law. It was an awesome place! After that he toured us around Cork, with a stop or two for views and photos. Maurice is a professional, knows his history, and is fun! He kept us engaged the entire day. If you are looking for a guide, Maurice is your man, hands down.

We would rate this tour 10 stars if possible. We met Maurice at the Annie Moore statue outside the cruise terminal. The day got better and better. Maurice is a very knowledgeable guide and a genuinely nice person. We began the day at Blarney Castle. We climbed the steps and kissed the Blarney Stone! Take time to walk the grounds as there are many interesting plant and tree species. You can also tour the home of the current castle owner. The bagpiper at Blarney is not to be missed. We toured Jameson/Midleton having a bite to eat at the café there. We took a drive through scenic Cork then headed to Cobh. The church is not to be missed and the view down into Cobh from the high point is stunning, Cobh was the port used for immigration years ago. We can't say enough good things about Maurice, he is a person you would like to call friend, be sure to take this tour!

Our guide Maurice was amazing!! A wealth of history & so funny!! He made sure to include a few extra stops that would interest us. We had such a great day with him! I would highly recommend Maurice to anyone wanting a personal experience of Cork!

Thanks to Maurice on his knowledge, expertise, humour and openness to drive us around his beautiful city and countryside. The tour was filled with lots of laughter and special memories!! Would highly recommend to friends and anyone planning to a trip to this Cobh and area. Well worth the time and investment.

Our tour with Maurice was the highlight of our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. He was funny, knowledgeable and was a true local. He brought us to s shopping Mecca which thrilled my wife! We kissed the Blarney stone, shopped local and went to see many amazing sites. End to the perfect day was praying together at the cathedral My wife had so much fun she hugged and kissed Maurice goodbye!
