Discover Cork, the so-called rebel city of Ireland, as you embark on a captivating private tour through its historic center. This guided tour will immerse you in the rich history of Cork, from its days as a monastic settlement to modern times.

Description

Our exploration will begin in the city center of Cork, specifically at the National Monument. After introductions, we'll set off walking through the streets of this charming Irish town.

During our tour, Cork's earliest days as a monastic settlement and the arrival of Viking invaders will come to life through intriguing tales. You'll learn about the Norseman settlers who helped shape the city into a prominent trading center within the global Scandinavian trade network.

Cork's fascinating history extends through the Barony of Cork City, the tumultuous times of the Black Death, and the Wars of the Roses. Hear about the city's role as an Irish nationalist stronghold and the heart-wrenching Burning of Cork during the Irish Civil War.

As we traverse Cork's winding streets, we'll encounter architectural delights and modern-day gems. Visit magnificent churches that stand as testaments to the city's religious heritage, and enjoy the delicious smells of the famous English Market. We'll discover the charm of narrow streets, brimming with eclectic shops, cozy pubs, lively cafes, and exceptional restaurants.

Your journey wouldn't be complete without a leisurely stroll along the picturesque River Lee, offering both tranquility and breathtaking views.

Finally, after a total of two hours, our private tour of Cork will come to an end.

Advantages of a private tour

Throughout the tour, your private guide, just for you and your travel mates, will share intriguing fun facts and stories that provide a deeper understanding of Cork's history, culture, and people. You'll have the opportunity to customize your own itinerary with the help of the guide, offering a more personalized experience. Also, if you're traveling in a large group, you'll even save money!
