Titanic Trail Guided Walking Tour Cobh

We were so lucky to have Dennis as our guide—a true ambassador of Cobh. He provided a wonderful overview of not only the history of the Titanic and its link to Cobh, but as a lifelong Cobh resident, he was able to weave in stories of a bygone time in Irish history. He told us one story of a fishing trip he had taken with his father and brother and from the boat, only being able to see the cross on Cobh’s church. He explained how his father told he and his brother that that sight was likely the last thing immigrants saw as they left their native Ireland for the new world. It, as well as do many of his stories, were extremely moving.

We had a wonderful Titanic Trail walking tour in Cobh recently with Tom as our guide. Since this was the last port for Titanic before setting sail for its fatal trip, there were many new things we learned. In addition, Cobh was the city where many of the dead from the Lusitania disaster were brought, so we learned many of those details. Great guide and great walking tour!

Absolutely brilliant walking tour. Our guide was so interesting, knowledgeable and being a local lad was genuinely proud of his home town’s history. I think he was ex navy. It really brings the history of the Titanic and the Lusitania to life when you hear the stories of the individual local people involved. Highly recommend.

Excellent Titanic Walking tour! Tom Foster was our guide. We all think we know a lot about the Titanic but being in the place where people walked on the pier to start their journeys and seeing what they saw with your own eyes was quite an experience. It was more emotional than I expected. We also learned some revealing details about the sinking of the Lucitania. Tom was a very knowledgeable guide who also gave us a history of Cobh itself. Don’t hesitate to take this tour. It will really add to your experience of this special town.

Donnacha (I hope we remember and spelled this right) was a fantastic tour guide full of local knowledge of Titanic, Lusitania and his hometown of Cobh! He brought the history of the people, ships, and events that shaped Cobh into the home it is for him today. We could tell it meant a lot to him which made the tour and history so much more human. We highly recommend booking this tour!
