Dia duit - Hello , My name is Liam, a proud Cork man born and bred. I am a full time driver / guide with almost 25 years experience giving Private Tours around my native city and surrounding counties. Prior to that my wife and I had a pub in the Shandon area of the city, in the shadow of Saint Anne's Church where you can hear the famous bell's ring out. My interest are travel , we have traveled to many exotic places around the world and while traveling to these destinations and taking tours by local guides , gave me a taste to share what I know about my city . I also love history, walking, music and poetry and of course my dogs Zeus and Cosmo. Booking a Private Tour is a great way to see a region. I would love the opportunity to take you on adventure around Cork sharing with you its rich history and some amazing architecture. We'll have plenty of opportunities to stretch our legs and take some photos as I highlight the features of each spot. So if you like to explore Ireland's ancient east , the Wild Atlantic Way, or wherever you want to visit, seeing and hearing stories and places only a local would know, I welcome question's as I love sharing my knowledge . As a local and a professional driver you could say I know Cork pretty well . Kind regards , Liam. I am a full time registered chauffeur for almost 25 years I am the holder of both the Public Service Vehicle and Drivers licence, Issued by the by the National Transport Authority . I am fully insured and Garda (police) vetted. I am not restricted access to any of the Historical or Heritage sites. However, State owned sites that have got their own guide's giving tour's such sites we'll fall in with their guided tour's.

Overview of your Cork tour

Welcome to Cork the Rebel County. On this tour you'll see some amazing scenery from the Irish coastline to the rolling hills of the West Cork Countryside. Michael Collins , fondly known as the "Big Fella" who came to prominence during the Irish Revolutionary Period 1916 to 1922 . He was the one that masterminded the war against the British. We'll visit Woodfield where he was born and Sam's Cross where a monument is dedicated to him as well as the Béal na Bla ambush site . The ambush sites of Kilmichael and Crossbarry under General Tom Barry the leader of the most effective Flying Column in the country during the war of independence.
