A must for anyone that wishes to experience the heart of the city and learn about the history of Cork.

Knowledge was unusually deep and so when he answered questions he touched on multiple layers of History. Courteous and hospitable.

Helped us understand Cork’s fascinating history and growth, interspersed with tales of the many fascinating Corkonians and others who contributed.

You’ll learn the lay of the land and the lore of the Lee, and be well prepared to take off on your own, with a stock of insider’s tips. Highly recommended.
