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.

The tour was terrific and we enjoyed an amazing experience with Liam!  It’s such a game-changer when a guide like Liam not only knows the area inside-out, but also tailors the tour to fit our pace and interests. The fact we got to see things we wouldn’t have found on our own is the magic of a great local guide. TBL and Liam clearly nailed it for us—flexibility, insight, and seeing those hidden gems that make a trip unforgettable.  Just a great day in Ireland!

Liam was personable, informative and professional. He took us to interesting sites in Cork county, provided us history and background information and added to the enjoyment of our excursion. Overall a very delightful day. He was also mindful of our time constraints and need to return to our ship by a particular time. The four of us would not hesitate to recommend him highly.

Liam was fantastic! We traveled in complete comfort in Liam's vehicle, as he provided interesting and meaningful information along the way. Perhaps the most significant thing was that not only did Liam make the stops that we expected to along the way, but he also took us to several other places that reflected our stated interests in preparing for this custom tour. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Liam.
