Tour description
Cork is Ireland's characterful second city, built on an island in the River Lee and famous for its independent 'Rebel' spirit, its wonderful food scene and its warm humour. On this walking tour a local guide reveals the compact city centre and its history.
You will visit the historic English Market, wander the lively lanes and quays, and see the great St Fin Barre's Cathedral. Along the way you will hear about the city's rebel history, its merchants and its food culture. Lively and friendly, Cork is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
