This tour was awesome! Mary was great and we really liked our tour in cork. In addition to the delicious beer, Mary gave us some interesting historical information along the way. She was also really great at choosing bars that all had a different vibe. Maybe a little pricy but it was great!Great!

It was a nice walk around Cork and Brenda was pleasant but presented us with very little information along the way. She seems quiet and shy; not the outgoing personality you typically see in a tour guide. We asked lots of questions but Brenda wasn’t able to answer even the most basic (population, architecture, landmarks) without consulting her phone and/or telling us, “I don’t really know.” It would have been 100 percent better if she had been able to share the history, customs and anecdotes of Cork as we were walking. With a map, we could have taken the same tour without a guide. That said, we did have an enjoyable pub stop with Brenda along the wayLots of Walking But No Talking

Our party of 5 enjoyed our 10 Tastings of Cork tour with Mary Sol. She responded quickly to our communications. She was very knowledgable of the area and flexible with our group. We were able to try several delicious local restaurants and she provided us with the a lot of information on the unique history of the city. The portions on this tour were very large, we could not finish everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Lovely afternoon in Cork

Today we had an amazing afternoon exploring the city, and a big part of that was thanks to you, Brenda—you truly made all the difference! Besides taking us to the main tourist spots, you shared lots of useful tips, not only about the city but also on other interesting topics. With your knowledge and friendliness, you made the tour even more special. It was a fun, easygoing, and super informative experience. Without a doubt, a 10 out of 10 for you!Amazing afternoon

There was a group of six of us. Ed picked us up at the airport in Dublin. We spent three days traveling across Ireland. Dublin to Anthlone, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty Castle, Limerick, Kilkenny, then back to Dublin. Ed was great and very helpful. He had great suggestions and recommendations . Ed made our travels very carefree and relaxing. Would definitely recommend Inis Tours to anyone traveling in Ireland.Super tour by Ed

Ed is an amazing guide. I wanted to do Ring of Kerry and was open to suggestions. Ed came up with a great plan for the day and got me back to my hotel in time for my dinner reservations. I am a solo traveler and so having a guide that I feel comfortable and safe with is top priority, and Ed was amazing. He made sure I was safe at all times and gave me tips and suggestions on what was a good use of my time and maybe was not. I recommend Ed to anybody wanting to travel in Ireland, especially solo travelers. And he will take great pictures of you!5 stars
