Very accommodating

Karen_H, May 2024

Our original assigned driver canceled at the last minute so we were sent a replacement. He was on time and very nice. Since it was a private tour he suggested alterations to the schedule we all agreed on a new plan. He was very accommodating. Only bad comment, he was more a chauffeur than tour guide. He answered all our questions but we did not learn much about the sites and Ireland ( except what we specifically asked). We attributed this to the fact that he was not prepared to take us touring that day. All in all it was a great day and we appreciated him.

Great day in Cork Ireland

Stephen_N, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful day with our guide Oliver. He is very knowledgeable about the area and history of the sites we visited. He was prompt and organized with the itinerary and had us back to our ship on time with no issues whatsoever. Oliver is a great guide.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Places we went were good.

Barbara_B, Sep 2023

Tour was good. We booked a tour guide but he was really a driver rather than a guide. Very nice but we were hoping for a little more information along the way.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Barbara, Thank you so much for your comments... we are going to have into consideration your opinion about Bernie, one of our supplier on Cork area Many Thanks and hoping see you soon again

Best private tour in Cork

Diane_M, Aug 2023

The fort was just lovely. Aiden was an excellent tour guide and I really appreciated his professionalism and expertise throughout the day. He took us to the 911 memorial when we had some extra time. His recommendation for lunch was excellent. His communication and timing were perfect!

Dear Diane, Thank you so much for your nice words about one of our supplier on Cohb/ Cork area.. we are working with a great team on that area Tks a lot and hoping see you soon again Pilar G

Expensive For What Was Provided

Deborah_G, Jun 2023

The driver recommended a great farm to table restaurant, took us for a short shopping trip in Kinsale, but booked the distillery tour too late in the day for us to be able to go. We were on a cruise ship with a time schedule. It was not worth the &1100.00+ we paid for the 4 of us.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear Deborah, This is Pilar from Top Private Tours. We are surprised with your comments and we had a talked with your driver/ tour guide ( Bertie), who explained: your tour started a bit late due to delay on your docking cruise line, around 30/40 minutes late but you could visit Charles Fort ( one of the most impressive fortresses in Ireland), Cork city and English Market, but you couldn´t visit St. Fin´s Cathedral which admissions are included on this tour and we are fully refund though the platform where you had make your reservation. Regarding the visit to the Distillery, it seems that there has been a misunderstanding between you and Jameson´s reception because you have indicated that your boarding time was for 17:00 PM when in your reservation you have specified that it was at 18:00 PM, so the time of the reservation was not wrong if the boarding time was at 18:00 PM as indicated, even do Jameson offer you a tasting of their great whisky and show you around. Finally, I would like to add that between 2023 and this 2024 we have helped around 60/70 passengers to enjoy their dream tour in the city of Cork and our rating is wonderful, we regret that you did not like it on this occasion, we appreciate your comments but I suggest you next time let us know your cruise is delay and we will try do all the times arrangements for you. Many Thanks and hoping see you soon again

Day in Cork

Jeanette_B, Jun 2022

Oliver, our driver snd guide was awesome! He asked us where we wanted to go and we told him it was his choice and he did a fabulous job. The only thing we were confused about was at Charles Fort which he thought was included but wasn’t so we just paid the admission fee but then they didn’t even give us a “guided” tour. Don’t bother with that if you’re there! The 9/11 memorial brought tears to our eyes and the Coleman cathedral was amazing along that dock area (we happened to be docked at the industrial dock). The Jameson tour was excellent but we were a little pressed for time because of the wasted time spent at Charles Fort. Other than the minor glitches it was a perfect day with an absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable driver/guide.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Jeanette, This is Top Private Tours UK, I am so sorry I haven´t answer you review earlier, just now I notice it Oliver is great professional, always happy to help the clients... I will personally thank him for this great job Many Thanks and best regards
