Essential Free walking tours of Cork

Our guru (Owen) was great in bringing in so many aspects of a city where we didn't know what to see. He has an in depth knowledge of history and Irish languages so gave us more insight that we expected. It was well worth the experience!

The tour was excellent. It had the right balance of humour and content. We learned a lot about Cork and Ireland. Our young guide had a refreshing attitude to life in Ireland.

Owen was very knowledgeable about the city, and clearly a big fan of it. Many useful tips about other places to see and do around Cork.

Lots of Information and very interesting.

BEST walking tour I've ever been on, and I've been on a lot. Evan was knowledgeable and hilarious, focused on important parts of history but also some light hearted jokes and such to keep things balanced. Favourite part was Shandon and stopping by the old fashioned sweets store. I would 100 percent recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cork for the first time!

Owen has a lot of knowledge that he likes to share

Superb. Evan was an excellent tour guide. Informative and fun. An excellent way to spend a few hours. Saw places and found out things that I wasn't expecting. Loved this tour. Would highly recommend.

We've done a few Guru walks in various European cities. All have been very informative, with great guides. This one with Evan in Cork was equally as good. Highly recommended!

Owen has kissed the Blarney Stone! We loved his wit and storytelling! Fabulous! Thank you!

Owen knew his stuff, a great insight into the history of Cork and the wider area. All presented in a very entertaining way.

Owen was a great guide, well informed and very helpful with all the questions asked. He went out of his way to help and provided an entertaining tour of Cork with a good amount of history.

10/10 tour, really appreciated Evan’s detailed knowledge of Irish political history and obvious passion for the subject.

Very enjoyable tour of the city. Evan’s knowledge of the city was vast and had many amusing anecdotes relating to both and people.

Evan was a fantastic guide, full of enthusiasm for Cork. We had a fantastic tour with a lot of information but just the right amount to keep us interested and not bored. Would highly recommend this young man.

Guru Tours are a great way to experience the places of interest.

Tour guide was great. Feel like I got the kind of info you don't always on walking tours. Less touristic and more honest. Great guide!

I enjoy a lot this tour because Owen was a nice tourist guide. I made the english version (I'm spanish) because I want to improve my english and I understand everything. Thank you and I Will join you again in the future!

We simply loved it

Very informative and showed us a lot of things we would not have seen on our own

I had an absolutely wonderful experience on the free walking tour of Cork with our amazing guide, Owen Fox. From the very beginning, Owen captivated us with his deep knowledge, warm personality, and engaging storytelling style. His passion for Cork's rich history and culture truly brought the city to life. We started at the Cork Opera House and spent nearly three hours exploring the city’s most iconic and historic sites. Owen skillfully guided us through charming narrow alleys, peaceful monasteries, and lively historic markets, all while sharing fascinating stories that spanned from the 7th century to the present day. Owen painted vivid pictures of the city’s evolution and helped us understand how Cork became the vibrant, welcoming place it is today. His storytelling made the city’s past feel tangible, and his enthusiasm was absolutely contagious. This tour was not only informative but also full of heart. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cork — you’ll walk away feeling inspired and deeply connected to this beautiful Irish city. Thank you, Owen, for an unforgettable experience!
