Join our local guide on a cycling adventure through the heart of the Rebel City. On this tour, you'll uncover Cork’s evolution—from its beginnings as a Christian settlement, through Viking invasions, to its role as a bustling trade hub.
Cork is a city of bridges and spires, with over 30 bridges and more than 20 church towers. See how many you can count as you pedal through colourful lanes, serene parks, and along the pathways of the River Lee. You'll pass iconic landmarks like the Shakey Bridge, Elizabeth Fort, and Shandon, all while taking in the vibrant street art that makes Cork unique.
Your guide will share the best spots for a pint or a bite to eat, giving you a real insider’s view into Cork’s lively food and music scene.
This tour offers not just a glimpse of Cork’s history but also a taste of its culture, art, and local spirit.

Wow! What an amazing day. This was a surreal tour. We decided to do the green causeway tour and it was spectacular . During the tour I mentioned to the guide that my great grandmother owned a business in Cork on Barrack St. A shop called Jacks where she sold used clothing. I didn’t share anything else. So we continue the tour and on our last stop he brought us to Shalom Park. It was a Jewish park in the Jewish quarters.
I stood there in awe and finally told him my family was Jewish and coming here was special. As we were chatting a man and women overheard us and began sharing that each Dec for Hanukkah there are candles lit up in Shalom Park.
I decided to share with these two strangers that my great grandmother lived in Cork and operated a business called Jacks and the woman asked her surname and I said Mrs Sieff.
Wait ! Wait!! And she said “0h Mrs Sieff owned a shop that sold used clothes and other items and then she said …. Jimmy was a friend of theirs and Jimmy would go by every Saturday to turn on the stove for my great grandma.
I couldn’t believe it ! In that exact moment my great grandma was looking down and was saying … I’m glad you came to my home town.
After that the guide took us to view the last standing Synagogue and a memory plate on the bridge for a brave women that helped rescue hundreds of Jewish children during the war. It was a spectacular tour that I’ll never forget it .
