A private guided walk through Cork City

This is a private walking tour for couples, families, friends and small groups who would rather explore Cork with their own local guide than join a fixed public departure. We walk through Cork city centre, talking about local history, culture, landmarks and the details most visitors walk straight past.

The route and timing are flexible depending on your group's interests, and a city-centre hotel meet-up can be arranged where practical. The pace is relaxed, with plenty of time to ask questions and pick up local recommendations for the rest of your stay.

  • 90 minutes to 2 hours

    A relaxed walking pace with time to stop, ask questions and take in the city rather than rushing between fixed stops.

  • Private to your group

    Couples, families, friends and small private groups. The conversation, pace and route belong to you.

  • Local Cork guide

    Hear local history, culture and stories as you walk, with recommendations for the rest of your stay.

  • Cork city-centre route

    A flexible route through Cork city centre that can be shaped around your interests, with a hotel meet-up possible on request.

  • Year-round, subject to availability

    Available across the year where practical. Light Irish rain is part of the experience; severe weather can be rescheduled.

  • Larger or tailored tours
