What Our Guests Say

Genuine reviews from guests who explored Cork and beyond with Wild Way Tours.

We arrived early into Port/Cobh and John was waiting for us ready for a full day of adventure. He whisked us off to Blarney Castle per our request and we were there prior to any big tour groups… We spent time in the beautiful town of Kinsale. We drove the gorgeous coastline stopping at picture perfect spots for photos… It was literally a perfect day.

We booked Wild Way tours for a day trip on the Ring of Kerry. We had been on the standard bus tours before but we didn’t want to rush around everything this time! Instead we did the best portion of the Ring with stops that John knew and plenty of time to enjoy it all… Highly recommended!

The four of us and John set out on a full day visiting Ancient Stone Circles, The Gorgeous Atlantic Coast, pretty Irish villages. We could not have been happier… This day was a cruise stop, and John made sure that we made it back to the ship on time without making us feel rushed anywhere along the way.

We were a group of 8 on a 12 day British Isles cruise. John B. picked us up at Cobh (Cork) cruise port. We toured via the Wild Atlantic Way making many stops… What a wonderful day we had!! … We highly recommend Wild Way Tours and received great service from start to finish.

Wild Way was awesome and got us in for a 5-hour tour to some fantastic places! Great way to spend the day! I would highly recommend them to anyone spending time in Cork, especially if you don’t have the time and/or desire for a full-day tour but still want to get out and see sights outside of the city.

We were in Cork this April for a family reunion. We wanted to rediscover our Irish roots in West Cork and beyond - John couldn’t have given us a better experience… We saw the most beautiful ‘off the beaten track’ spots and he made it all so effortless and fun for us, especially travelling with children too!
