We spent the day touring with Derek, and honestly? He was incredible. Super knowledgeable, genuinely funny, full of great energy, and just radiated passion for his country and his work. You could tell he really loves what he does—and it made the whole experience even more special.
Originally, our tour was set for Blarney Castle, Kinsale, and Cobh, but Derek was super cool and flexible, and helped us customize it to what we were really into. We ended up swapping in Jameson (because, priorities), Blarney Castle, and Cobh—and it was perfect.
We walked away with a ton of interesting stories, a new appreciation for this beautiful part of Ireland, and yep, even a piece of cork to remember it all by. If you're thinking about booking a tour, 100% go with Derek. You won’t just get a guide—you’ll get a legit, personalized experience.
