Highly recommended

We enjoyed an entertaining and educational morning stroll with Don learning about the importance of the port in Irish history. Nearly 2 hours very well spent, and the fee seemed very reasonable. Don is delightful, articulate and knowledgable.

Great!

This tour is a great way to learn some of the history of Kinsale without having to read the book. Barry is super friendly and really enjoys talking with everyone. There is not a lot of walking with the tour but comfortable shoes are helpful.

Barry is great. The tour is lovely but would like more about the town

Barry is so personable that he makes this tour wonderful. The history was great but I wanted more about the quirks and flavour of Kinsale. However, the history of how Kinsale came to be on the grand scale of the world market was interesting. Totally...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.
