Amazing days around Cork - We arrived in Cork with an idea of a plan and Darren made it both unforgettable and beyond comparison. Meeting him was a happy accident and he proceeded to show us around for two days, even taking us on to our next destination. From recommendations around Cork city to breathtaking sites around Kinsale, it truly was the star of our trip.

A+++++ Guide ….. so friendly and knowledgeable. - I’m rewriting this review b/c I’m not sure the other went through. Darren was an absolute wonderful guide. He tailored our day to things we were interested in and was very knowledgeable about everything because he grew up in the Cork area. Everywhere we went ….. people seemed to know him which speaks to his likeable personality. He even threw in a little golf tour event which will be such a memory for my husband. What an awesome day we had with Darren. We give you an A++++ review!!!!!

Irish weather and Guam folks - Darren was a very knowledgable guide and super friendly. Not pushy in any way and had great extra activities. Although the weather was typical Irish weather we had a great day anyway. Recommend this tour with Darren for anyone coming to Cork.

Worth every penny! - Darren is the consummate guide--well informed, friendly, warm, full of life. He planned a full day for us and never rushed us at any point. He advised us to get an early start so as to miss the crowds at Blarney Castle and it was well worth it. We had a delicious lunch in a beautiful setting and were treated to rides on backroads so we really saw the countryside. I highly recommend a day spent with Darren!

Darren is a hero and this excursion will be the highlight of your trip - Darren is not only a top-tier guide, but he will also take you to some of the most stunning places that are also off the beaten path. You will laugh, sing, and if you don't have an exceptional time, you'll need to do some self-reflection. 10/10 experience and the best excursion we have had on our 14-day trip.

Cork by Darren - Great time!! Best way to see the Cork area is with Darren. Incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. You’ll see sights you just don’t get to see without a local personal guide. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Day in Cork - Darren gave us an exceptional tour including all of the highlights and stunning views of the scenery, lunch in a local village driving through country roads to get there. He shared wonderful knowledge of the area and its history, while also giving us an idea of current life in Southern Ireland. Darren managed our time perfectly and we never felt rushed. We missed the crowds which made the tour feel very personal. Also of note was his expert driving-very smooth and we felt safe. It was a pleasure spending our day with Darren and we would highly recommend booking with him if you get the chance. Our day in Cork is a highlight of our trip.
