Amazing Day in Cork County - The four of us just got back from this tour and I have to say that it was amazing! Derek’s love for his country and home was evident as he toured us around. He allowed us to tailor the tour to our likes and recommended some amazing experiences that we hadn’t considered and wouldn’t have known about, and took us to some out of the way areas that we would not have been able to get to on a ship’s tour. Derek was on time and had us back to our ship in plenty of time. We would highly recommend this tour. If you book with Derek, you won’t be disappointed.

Irish dreams come true - Having been to Ireland before, I did not want to do the Blarney Castle/Woolen Mills tours being offered by our cruise line. Doing some research, I found Derek's website and emailed a request to do a bespoke tour of Cork and surroundings. Derek got back to me immediately and arranged a tour that was off the beaten path. We did see a couple of tour buses, but aside from the Jameson Distillery, we were never anywhere that were crowded with other sightseers. Derek was friendly, knowledgeable and a great representative of Irish hospitality!
