This is a wonderful way to see the interesting and historical city of Kinsale. Having traveled to Ireland many times before, this was my first time in Kinsale and I really enjoyed getting to see a different perspective of a town on foot and guided by a Kinsale local who really knows his history. Well worth an hour of your... More

I found Dermot Ryan's Kinsale Heritage Town Walks on Trip Advisor and did I have a great time with this special guide. I had a history filled 1.5 hours of the history and culture of the area. Since it was the off season (2/14) I was the only person on the tour. We walked all about and while he told... More

My 10 year old son and I hopped a bus from Cork on an impromptu trip to Kinsale. When we arrived, we were sad to discover that the Tourist Office was closed. No sooner than we tried the door, Dermot appeared out of nowhere. I told him that we were headed up to see the Charles Fort and he proceeded... More

We're a South African/Belgian family who have roots in County Cork, Ireland, and this town has long been on my wish list of travel destinations. It is a beautiful place and I can highly recommend spending the hour or so walking around the town with Dermot Ryan. He's born and bred there and his tour is full of lovely anecdotes... More

I had done Dermott's tour once before, but this time, I shared it with my four adult daughters. Kinsale is a fabulous, historical town in Ireland, and Dermott knows it backwards and forwards. Highly recommended, and it's only five euros!

We just happened to come upon this walking tour when we stopped at Kinsale. What a great tour. There is no way we would have ever learned or seen so much about this town on our own. Our guide, Dermot Ryan was not only fully informed about the town but he was very friendly and absolutely hilarious. I was actually... More

On a day trip out of Cork, we went to the picturesque town of Kinsale. Found a parking spot and were wondering along the waterfront when we came upon the Information office. While looking at brochures a gentleman handed me a brochure, which I somewhat ignored and kept looking around. Saw a brochure stand outside that looked interesting, then looked... More
