Tour description
Cork is Ireland's characterful second city, built on an island in the River Lee and famous for its independent 'Rebel' spirit, fantastic food scene, and warm humor. On this walking tour, a local guide will explore the compact city center and its rich history with you.
You will visit the historic English Market, stroll through lively lanes and quays, and admire the magnificent Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. Along the way, you'll hear stories of the city's rebellious past, its merchants, and its distinctive culinary culture. Vibrant and friendly, Cork is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
