Overview

Discover Cork on a family-friendly walking tour that blends sweet treats, rich history, and local charm. We begin at Cameron Bakery with fresh, buttery pastries before strolling along Merchant’s Quay beside the winding River Lee. At Emmet Place, we’ll highlight some of Cork’s most iconic landmarks.

A short walk brings us to one of our partner shops on historic Frenchchurch Street, where you’ll enjoy donuts made fresh that morning. We’ll then treat you to colorful, creative varieties that showcase Cork’s modern flair and flavor.

As we head to our final stop at Cafe Mexicana, we’ll pass the historic Coal Quay, a trading site for centuries. In this cozy café tucked in the Huguenot Quarter, you’ll choose between Alfajores or Grandma’s Mexican cake for a sweet finale.

This tour is perfect for families, food lovers, and anyone eager to explore Cork’s flavors, stories, and soul in a fun, relaxed way.
