Excellent tour. Never saw Cork Harbour from the water before and it was very interesting to learn the history of how it developed, the geography of the harbour and city and places like Cóbh and Monks town. Great guide full of knowledge, love of her subject, great anecdotes and humor with expert timing. Thank you.
