Not that much to see but what there was was interesting. Excellent scale model of the city which brought it home to us just how much walking we had done, and a good film show. More

Helpfull staff. Got us a guest house, gave us ideas of where to eat. Staff phoned around numerous places to find out where I could pay the M50 road toll. It was a nightmare as a lot of places in Cork have stopped taking M50 payments. Well done Cork tourist board staff. More

Wow - these guys and gals were GREAT!!!!!!!! They had so much to offer, share, and so much information. They knew what we wanted, where we wanted to go, could help us get there (several different choices). They gave us some additional sites to see in and around where we were already planning to visit. And all of it was... More

The office was closed for lunch, in the second city of the country the Tourist Office was closed when we called. Perhaps they were not expecting any visitors to the city that day! More

I went to the tourist office several times during my month's stay in Cork. In addition to sitting down and getting wonderful information from the staff, they listened when I went in to give them feedback about several places and tours that I took. I rate the Tourist Office in Cork with every high marks. More

This tourist information centre has plenty of leaflets and info on guided tours, travel times, heritage centres etc, plus plenty of maps and printed materials, enough to give you whatever you need to know about Cork. The staff are well-trained and professional. The problem with this place is the location. Why is it tucked into a corner of the Grand... More

The staff is great and the Information they give is very good, however the Store itself looks like time stood still since it was opened. Could need a design revamp to look more attractive and need more friendly light :-) More

The attractions the tourist office advised up to visit were poor and getting there on foot following a local map was not a good idea. More
