TouringCork runs guided walking tours of Cork. A local guide walks a small group through old Cork, telling the city's stories where they happened.
You meet outside The Counting House on South Main Street, in the old brewery quarter, and cover 2 to 3 km on foot over 75 to 90 minutes. Along the way you stand at Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Elizabeth Fort, Red Abbey, Nano Nagle Place, South Gate Bridge, Bishop Lucey Park and the Grand Parade, and hear how the walled medieval city, the butter trade and the rebel years shaped the streets under your feet.
Public walks run every Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 and 13:30, all year. Tickets cost EUR25 for adults and EUR15 for students and under-18s. Book at touringcork.ie; same-day places stay open while they last.
Families, friends, work groups, schools and clubs can book a private walk on other days by emailing info@touringcork.com. Walks run in English, assistance dogs are welcome, and the guide can change the route for anyone who needs to avoid steps.
