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.

Good but not great. Paul did get us to our destination (from Dublin to Cork) and he did stop at a few places of interest so that was beneficial. Not quite as polished and professional as our other drivers. Even taking into consideration the extreme friendliness of the Irish, Paul was a bit too casual (off color jokes in mixed company was not necessary) Still we gave him credit as it may not be easy to obtain drivers from Dublin to Cork if they do not have another paid guest for the round trip.

We did wonderful a three-day trip from Dublin to Cork and back. Paul took us to all the places we had selected and suggested and showed us even more. We got our hands full with history and geography, monasteries, castles and gardens, and some whiskey. A trip undoubtedly worth doing. Paul, been from Cork, knows the are very well. He was very attentive and made great recommendations. Definitely the guide for this area.

I highly recommend Paul as a guide. He made our trip from Dublin to Cork very enjoyable. The places he chose were interesting and his relaxed manner made the trip stress-free. His love and knowledge of Ireland gave us a good glimpse of the country, its heritage, people, and sports. We learned things not found in a guidebook. For example, he introduced us to the sport of hurling. I would definitely book with him again.

Highly recommend Paul!!!! He took us (myself, my husband and our two adult sons) on two days of custom touring. Our destinations included Cork, Blarney Castle, Killarney, Ring of Kerry, Wild Atlantic Way and Dingle. We had a wonderful time and Paul was very knowledgeable, included some places "off the beaten path" and had a terrific sense of humor. I will also be recommending him to a friend who is planning to visit Ireland in the near future.
