Overview

Relax in a luxury sedan or executive tourer with your own professional local guide, and let the day unfold at a pace that's perfectly yours. Feel the thrill of Blarney Castle and its gardens, find a keepsake at Blarney Woollen Mills, fall for the colourful harbour charm of Kinsale, and finish in Cobh, where history and heart meet by the water.

Along the way, your guide brings each place to life with stories, history and local insights, so you'll feel connected to Cork rather than just passing through. Linger where you love, pause for photos and enjoy a smooth, comfortable journey between stops.

Perfect for couples, families, cruise guests and small groups, it's a personal, polished way to experience Cork and head home with memories to treasure.

We're proud of our five-star reviews, 100% traveller recommendation rating and City Balloon Tours Badge of Excellence since 2023. Your guide is also a member of the Independent Tour Guide Association of Ireland, so you're in expert, trusted hands.
