Overview

A local guide walks a small group through old Cork, telling the city's stories where they happened. This tour is 75 - 90 minutes on foot through the centre of the city. You'll hear about the people who made Cork what it is: the rebels and the hunger strikers, the scientists and the rogues, the ones history remembered and the ones it forgot too quickly. Cork punches well above its weight for interesting characters, and most of them never make it onto the standard tourist trail. The stories change depending on who's on the tour and what catches people's interest. Some groups want the Vikings or War of Independence in detail. Others want the stranger, more surprising corners of the city's past. There's plenty of both. Groups are kept small, so it stays a proper conversation rather than a lecture.
