Outstanding guided tour

This is well worth a visit. Our guide Ciara was outstanding with a wealth of information during our walk around this 19th century impressing stone building.

Guided tour

The gaol was a great experience to learn more about history and see how these places were run. Craig was a brilliant guide and very engaging. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Well put together tour for groups and solo guests

Great way to kill some time and learn about the history of Cork City Gaol. Highly recommend doing the audio tour. That way you can explore and hear everything without having to stop and read about it.
