If you are in Cork for just a brief time, then the Cork City, Cobh and Jameson Distillery Tour is for you. This unique short day experience gives you a great taster on what makes Cork unique. We commence with a short walking tour of the heart of the city, primarily sticking to what is locally known as “The Island”, and over towards the historic Shandon Street district.
Beginning the tour with a stroll around Cork city centre your guide will lead you on a short guided walking tour in the heart of the City. Hear details of the local attractions, restaurants, art galleries and of course the English Market. Brought into the spotlight in 2011 by a visit from Queen Elizabeth II, the English Market is one of the oldest markets of its kind in Europe and demonstrates some of the finest Irish produce.
Following the walking tour, we will board the coach for a tour of some of the City’s outlying cultural and historical attractions. The coach will take you on a tour through some of the city’s outlying highlights including Cork Gaol, The Glucksman Gallery and the Blackrock Observatory before heading out of town to visit the world famous Jameson Distillery.
Both an indoor and outdoor guided tour experience, and still a working whiskey distillery, visitors can appreciate the vast scale of the distillery building aswell as the largest pot still in the world. Actual maturing whiskey barrels are on display and dedicated space is given to this most cherished part of the Jameson Irish Whiskey story.
Located just 20 minutes from Cork city , the Jameson Experience is recognized as a world class cultural and educational visitor experience. Originally established in 1825, the Jameson Distillery in Midleton is one of the most widely visited attractions in the South of Ireland.
From here we visit the town of Cobh formerly known as Queenstown and the last port of call of the Titanic for a leisurely waterfront tour. Afterwards there is plenty of time for lunch, to explore The Titanic Museum, take a harbour tour or climb the hill to The Cathedral and take in the spectacular views.
