A great way to get your bearings...

4 of us signed up for this tour of the town and none were disappointed. Barry was very personable and tried to speak directly with each person on the tour as the time went by. As they are local they knew a lot of history...More

Barry is knowledable and entertaining!

Barry met us in Kinsale the very first night in town and gave us a great tour. We realized everything he taught us helped tremendously for the rest of our trip. It made our time even better.

A really enjoyable tour

I thought it was an excellent tour. Delivered in a lighthearted way, but if you listened there was some serious history in there explaining a lot about the present Anglo/Irish situation. I was fascinated by the recanting of the story of the Kindle Giant, and...More

Is there a website for this tour? I can’t seem to locate it. How much did it cost and how many travelers were in the group? Thank you Dale

Not sure about a website, was written up in Rick Steve’s guidebook. Cost is €8 and group size varies- we had about 20, but he carries a small amplifier. He has a big kiosk at the TI near the harbor.
