Dia duit agus fáilte go dtí ár stór, Éire / Hello and welcome to our treasure that is Ireland ! As an experienced Tour Guide, with over 25 years experience, I love arranging tours to meet the needs of my guests. On my private tours I will treat you like a friend, and will show you as much as I can in the time we have together. I am a fully qualified guide, and hold the Tourism Authority National Guide Badge. You can be assured of a top quality tour if you choose to travel with me! I live and work in the beautiful County of Kerry, but am ideally based between Killarney and Cork. Being a native to both Kerry and Cork I have lots of extra local knowledge to share with guests on my tours. I am married with 2 children, and have 25 years experience in tourism throughout Ireland. I have guided for many world famous tour companies, from student groups to VIP tours. For the last 5 years I have been a tour guide in my local area, and love guiding private tours and ensuring everyone has a great time. The most important thing for me is that everyone who joins my tour has a great time. The great thing about a private tour, is that you can decide how much information and commentary you wish me to share with you, but I am equally happy for us to relax and listen to some great Irish music! I am happy to adapt the tour to reflect your interests and requirements! As we travel together on the tour, I am always happy to make as many stops as you wish, for photos or to just to get out and stretch the legs! I find it is the stops that were not planned that are often the most enjoyable! My local knowledge means I can often recommend hidden gems along the route, making your tour even more special! Tell me what you would like to see, and I will plan a tour to meet your requirements! I am a flexible and fun guide, and would love to meet you during you vacation in Ireland! Slainte - Good health to you!

Overview of your Cobh tour
This tour is for Cruise Passengers visiting Cork! We will see some of the most popular sites in the area including: - Blarney Castle and its breathtaking Gardens - The Famous Blarney Woolen Mills store - A Panoramic tour of Cork City, Ireland's second largest city - Kinsale (picturesque harbour town with lovely views and quaint streets - lovely for lunch!) - And if time allows a stop in the historic town of Cobh before we return to the cruise terminal. If you book this tour you will have total flexibility to visit what you want in the time which you have before we must return to the port. I can recommend alternative suggestions if you prefer to get off the beaten track.
Your Cobh tour itinerary
8am: Meet at ship (or as soon as ship arrives if later!) this is to get ahead of the crowds which we can do in our private tour 9-11am: Visit Blarney Castle & Gardens, kiss The Stone and get the 'gift of the gab'! 11am- 3pm: Tour of Cork City, with photo stops, and onwards to Kinsale via the Cork countryside where you can grab lunch in this pretty coastal town. 4pm: Visit to Cobh. This historic town is famed as an emigration port. Visit the famous Cathedral or the Titanic exhibition. 5pm: Return to Cruise Ship. This is a sample itinerary. Timings will vary depending on ship arrival/ departure times. In addition, you may prefer to visit Jameson Experience Middleton rather than one of the stops listed. As I pride myself in giving the best experience to my customers I will be flexible and tailor the trip to your needs and requirements
