Very nice. Very kind guide. Know a lot. Asked all the questions and she answered them all. She was also very interested in us. Highly recommend!
Mary Sol was very knowledgeable and took us on a wonderful tour of Cobh. She discussed the history as we strolled through the town and ocean side. The history and information made our experience much more interesting and enjoyable than if we just walked around alone. Our family of four each said how much we enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Cobh!
