Customer Reviews
A group of us recently did the Cobh Rebel Tour, and it was absolutely fantastic. The tour covered wider Irish history from the 1860s through the 1920s, while also sharing the unique stories and heritage of Cobh itself. Our guide, Kieran, was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and very approachable. He brought the history to life with great storytelling and was happy to answer all our questions. You could really tell he’s passionate about what he does. If you’re visiting Cobh and have an interest in Irish history, I’d highly recommend this tour! Thanks Kieran!
Without a single doubt, this was my favorite tour in all of Ireland. The passion with which he spoke and his eagerness to share his knowledge on the rebellion, and how it impacted the lives of regular people was an amazing experience. He legitimately paints a picture with his words and sets the stage to bring the past to the forefront. I cannot recommend this enough for anyone who is interested in Irish history. He's a great tour guide, thoroughly answers questions, and is mindful of his group, even the ones that take a bit longer to walk up stairs.
This was wonderful! Our guide Kieran did a fantastic job weaving the history of Ireland and Cobh from the Famine through to the 20th century. We came away with a better understanding on significant events in Ireland's history, including the rise of the IRA and fight for Irish independence. You also get a wonderful walk around the town center, up towards the cathedral and down the deck of cards houses.
