Cork tour a Corker!

A delight with great live commentary from the driver rather than recordings. So convenient for cruise passengers: train AT the the ship, Stop on main road (not car park) right outside the station in Cork. Fascinating squeeze through narrow streets. Good fun all round.

Crowded buses. Zero schedule.

Have not had a good experience in Cork today with the Hop on Hop off ticket. The buses are packed so they are selling too many tickets without enough buses for the passengers. Schedule is also non-existent. Waiting for a bus for 30+ minutes after the posted time, in the cold and rain, with a 3 year old, is not the best vacation experience.

Good way to see Cork.

We arrived by cruise ship and took the train to Cork, which cost 27 euros round-trip for four people. The HOHO stop is across the street from the train station. Easy to find. The ride is narrated in English; there is no need for headphones.

Cork 2026 review

Easy process once you navigate your way to the first bus stop. Driver was very knowledgeable and helpful explaining all the stops and history of the area. Definitely recommend!

Great way to see...

Great way to see Cork...even in the rain! Our female driver would add her own commentary to the pre-recorded tape. She was hilarious!
