Overview

Like a "Pick your own Path" adventure book, you decide which path we follow, even your guide won't know which tour they will be taking you on until you decide upon arrival, making this the most spontaneous, immersive and hysterical walking tour in Cork City.

Will we be retracing the footsteps of Cork’s famous on a “All the Worlds a Stage/Screen” adventure or meeting those responsible for our “Rebel City” reputation or maybe we’ll be stepping back in time to meet some actual “Saints and Sinners” or perhaps you'll get swept up in some of the city's "Medieval Madness"?

No matter what you choose you’ll discover the highlights of Cork’s 1500-year history, meet a city full of quirky characters, engage with our local hysterical actor guide as you laugh your way around the City on this truly unique walking tour that’s all about what you Pick... and Cork obviously.
