Complete disappointment

Only 2 'attractions' were actually visited. Guide did not provide any information along the way. He did not speak between stops.

A lot of driving for little visit time

A little disappointed and the feeling of having spent the day on the bus: too much driving and not enough time to really visit at each stop (30 min except at Mizen Head). A return to Cork at 6 p.m. was announced: in the end, we were back at 5 p.m.! It would be good to indicate the planned time for each stop on the program. 30 min in Clonakilty is really too short to visit. Otherwise the landscapes of Mizen Head are magnificent but even there we only had 1h30 to visit at mealtime, it is also too short to see everything. Tip: Bring your picnic to save a little time.

The tour bus driver was...

The tour bus driver was very good. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Mizen Head was amazing.If anyone has a chance to go to Mizen Head it would be a highlight of Ireland.

Essential

The trip was great. Interesting stops but the spectacular thing is Mizen Head, yes it is worth 7.5 euros but I do not understand that you get there and do not pay them. If it would be great a little longer at the stops. Maybe coming back at 20, for example, I'd have time to really enjoy everything. Driver a crack.
