I love walking tours. I have been on several from around the world. I booked this tour for 5 adults (aged 30-65) and we were very disappointed. First off- we did not get Michael the tour guide that everyone raved about. I booked online and when I arrived at the Commodore Hotel meeting spot the guide Trevor had no list... More

I was sorry to hear that your tour was interupted by the noise of the helicopters during the search and rescue display on in Cobh that day. After 10 or 15 miutes all the noise died down and the other 27 or so participants really enjoyed the tour and Trevor's delivery of the information. Some of them remarked that the... More

We took this tour with Pat. He was very informative. However, it is not worth the € 25 per couple. We have gotten much more for our money on other tours of Ireland. Also, the pamphlet they hawk for € 7.50 was equally overpriced. It should have been included in the price of the tour.

What a wonderful place to be during the centurial Titanic celebrations. We took the Titanic trail and found it very moving. We were also able to due to the time of our vacation enjoy some of the wonderful events and activities on in this area. A truly memorable visit.

The town of cobh is adorable. Positive reviews of this tour were the whole reason I went there and I'm so glad I did. Emigration is such a huge part of Irish history and this tour is the perfect way to learn about that. Michael knows everything about the titanic and is really friendly. He even arranged a special tour... More

We went this week for the 100th anniversary. It was well worth the trip. Something you don't see every day. The one at the railway station was where we were told to go. They were selling stuff in booths and dressed in period clothes. Not too impressed with the shops along the boardwalk. A bit of a tourist trap but... More

Michael was a fantastic educator about this great, charming town. He incorporated interesting facts about the town which was a nice complement to the Titanic focus. He even introduced us to one of the divers who has been down to the wreckage twice which was a bonus for my 9 year old daughter who has been learning about the Titanic... More

Contact reception for use of the lift if using a buggy, there are steps at the entrance. Very interesting, takes about 45 mins. Well worth seeing on the 100 year anniversary.

What a wonderful addition to our trip to Cobh! Cobh is a smaller town that is worth visiting just for its stunning views and quiet, yet cozy atmosphere. The Titanic Trail tour was just what my family was looking for while visiting Ireland. We did not know what to expect from the tour, but Michael clearly knows what he is... More

Fantastic review of the fascinating history of this area, and some of its great tragedies. Cheap, interesting and engaging, well worth the drive down to Cobh for anyone staying in the Cork area. The town itself is beautiful, we enjoyed the trail walk and talk, then caught the ferry across the river and lunched at Kinsale. Great part of the... More
