Wonderful tour of Blarney Castle and Kinsale - My daughter and I had such a lovely time with Darren. He drove us to Blarney Castle (with a stop at the Blarney Woolen Mills), Old Head cliffs, and Kinsale. He took great pictures of us, and made sure we had a reservation for lunch a great little restaurant with a view of the sea. He even showed us where to walk the next day for a tour of Cork sites. I highly recommend his tour!

Fall Fun in Barney - Darren gave us a glimpse of true Irish life on this tour. We enjoyed history, nature and delicious food! The scenic routes and the friendly conversation led to a delightful and charming day! He allowed us to choose the pace of the day and spend as much or as little time at each of the attractions. Strolling the gardens in the late fall at Barney Castle was unforgettable! The colors were beautiful and there were really no crowd. We are already planning to go back for more shopping at the woollen mills. A very relaxing day. We would highly recommend this your.

Amazing days around Cork - We arrived in Cork with an idea of a plan and Darren made it both unforgettable and beyond comparison. Meeting him was a happy accident and he proceeded to show us around for two days, even taking us on to our next destination. From recommendations around Cork city to breathtaking sites around Kinsale, it truly was the star of our trip.

A+++++ Guide ….. so friendly and knowledgeable. - I’m rewriting this review b/c I’m not sure the other went through. Darren was an absolute wonderful guide. He tailored our day to things we were interested in and was very knowledgeable about everything because he grew up in the Cork area. Everywhere we went ….. people seemed to know him which speaks to his likeable personality. He even threw in a little golf tour event which will be such a memory for my husband. What an awesome day we had with Darren. We give you an A++++ review!!!!!

Irish weather and Guam folks - Darren was a very knowledgable guide and super friendly. Not pushy in any way and had great extra activities. Although the weather was typical Irish weather we had a great day anyway. Recommend this tour with Darren for anyone coming to Cork.

Worth every penny! - Darren is the consummate guide--well informed, friendly, warm, full of life. He planned a full day for us and never rushed us at any point. He advised us to get an early start so as to miss the crowds at Blarney Castle and it was well worth it. We had a delicious lunch in a beautiful setting and were treated to rides on backroads so we really saw the countryside. I highly recommend a day spent with Darren!
