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.

During this taxi tour you will learn about the people who planned, plotted, fought and suffered during this incredible period. They will be brought to life by me, your driver, tour guide and storyteller. Hear about the daring deeds of Cork No. 1 brigade , how they took on the might of the British army on the streets of Cork City. Visit the location of ambushes, assassinations, reprisals, kidnappings all part of the story of what happened in Cork City between 1919 and 1921 when there was so much action that Britain declared martial law in the city and poured troops into the area in an attempt to subdue the rebels. An incredible tale of a city and county filled with men and women who were willing to lay down their lives in the cause of Irish freedom. www.seanhoulihan1@eircom.net
