    I had a blast on this tour! Lots of fun, and very interesting! I highly recommend it! The Cork Ghost Tour guides Damian and Noelle were very friendly & knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Cork, and this tour was entertaining, too! It’s not often that one finds a tour as weird, wacky, exciting, and as full of unexpected spooky surprises as you do in the Cork Ghost Tour.

    A hilariously historical tour of horrors through Cork with the delightful Damian promises lots of fun for everyone! If you plan to visit Cork, do it. If you have already been to Cork, go back and do it.

    The guide's charismatic storytelling and expert guidance truly brought the ghostly tales of Cork to life (or should I say, afterlife?). From the haunted custom house to eerie alleyways, each stop on the tour was a testament to the captivating storytelling prowess- particularly the audience engagement. Skillfully weaved together historical facts, legends, and hair-raising anecdotes, leaving us spellbound and eager for more.

    After a lovely dinner we were happy to walk it off on the ghost tour. Damian was our host and was fantastic. His storytelling was almost hypnotic and he was off the cuff funny. The "scary character" Jimmy was also funny and a nice touch. If you're in Cork it's a must do!

    Definitely worth the money! This tour had me and my boyfriend laughing and shaking in our shoes! Please try do this tour if you're thinking of going to Cork, Damian could talk for Ireland and Noelle is a gorgeous actress and adds the perfect measure of surprise to the tour! This tour is also a great way to see a different side to Cork!

    Tonight myself and my daughter took the cork ghost tour. We smiled an awful lot and had loads of giggles. A very interesting history tour of cork but not at all serious and definitely not boring. My daughter is 10 and loved it and so did I. Thanks Damian and team. Niamh Sullivan

    As a local I am guilty of ignoring what can be right under my nose at times and have made a pledge to do more local things and I can say as starter WOW. We had a great night with Damien and his ghostly ghouls. There are four of us in the clan two are 9 and 6 and they loved every minute of it. We got facts, stories, histories and ghosts all wrapped up in Damian & Elisa's witty production. Visitors to Cork will be blown away by the breath of its history and will be tickled by some of the more fanciful tales. We travel a lot and always marvel at how tours like this do so well abroad and it is great now to see it active in my own City. So if you are in Cork for one or more days I would reccomend booking a tour you won't regret it.

    (Translated by Google) A fantastic mix of history, scary and local history. Damian has cast a spell on us with his stories and has been the topic of conversation in the family for days. We also had a lot of fun with him and Elisa incorporating passers-by and random encounters. A great experience and absolutely recommended (Original) Eine phantastische Mischung aus Geschichte, Gruseligem und Lokalgeschichte. Damian hat uns mit seinen Geschichten in den Bann gezogen und für Tage für Gesprächsstoff in der Familie gesorgt. Wir hatten auch viel Spaß damit wie er und Elisa Vorbeipassierende und zufällige Begegnungen eingebaut haben. Ein tolles Erlebnis und absolutt zu empfehlen

    This tour was amazing, we had so much fun! The story-telling is fantastic and so well played!! They took us for a full hour around the city and we discovered hidden spots and hidden stories we didn't know about Cork and that you won't find anywhere else. Our kids are small and don't understand much English, yet they absolutely loved it and laughed so much! We highly recommend it!! Great craic!!

    Went on a night tour as part of a team building exercise for work. Our guide Damien was excellent. Knowledgeable, a great story teller and very funny. The tour was interesting, engaging and creepy, the perfect mix. Explored parts of Cork city I didn’t know existed. A really fun thing to do and would thoroughly recommend. Thanks!

    Excellent! Hilarious! Engaging! Damian and Elisa do a great job telling and acting out the stories, and consistently add fresh new, horrible, awful deathly accounts as they hear and research them. Awesome way to spend an hour in Cork while learning, moving your body, laughing, and seeing new spots (most of which we would never have seen on our own)! There were even some Corkites (Corkers?) on our tour, which goes to show how in-depth the tour goes.. not even the locals have all these creepy stories!

    I attended this tour earlier in the month with my husband and two kids (ages 6 & 9). I have recommended this tour to several people and had to come back and write a review. This was a great walking tour that shared the history of Cork and ghost stories of the area. They were very engaging and entertaining and my kids loved it! If you are looking for a fun walking tour of the city that will make you laugh, look no further!

  • 5/5 Aidan C. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic experience. Damien and his colleague delivered a great hour’s entertainment to our Stag group, and it was the perfect evening activity for us. Funny and engaging, the tour also incorporated lots of interesting history and stories about Cork, past and present. We had a great hour and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough

  • 5/5 William B. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Anon E. 1 year ago on Google
    Our group of 10 from Pittsburgh was lucky enough to book a tour through Cork in late May and this Ghost Tour was the highlight of the visit. Damian we fantastic. He and his associate brought history, mystery and excitement & entertainment to us all in a one hour tour. Great way to see the city in a family-friendly environment. Thank you Cork Ghost Tours!!

  • 5/5 Giulia V. 11 months ago on Google
    What an awesome experience this funny, ghostly tour of Cork! We came from Italy and we truly appreciated it because we found out amazing places that we'd never have seen otherwise. So thank Damian and his friends for having us!

    Had such a great experience! Damian and company were great storytellers and gave us so much information about Cork itself intertwined with the ghost stories and locations. It was so much fun. It was very lighthearted, good for information but also for a laugh, and I would recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to visit Cork.

  • 5/5 Helen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyable tour, lots of history and met a few ghosts along the way. Damien is a great storyteller. This tour is for all the family

  • 5/5 Sophie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tour, learnt loads about Cork that I never knew about and thought it was thoroughly entertaining. The prices were a little expensive in comparison to most walking tours that I’ve done which in European cities average around €10. Nonetheless, the quality of the tour was amazing and understandably there is much more to this tour than the mind and talent of one guide… 👻👻👻

  • 5/5 Grainne F. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 John B. 2 years ago on Google
    We were thoroughly entertained by Mr Damian Punch, a master storyteller who provided rich historical and cultural insight to spins his ghoulish tales. Our tour began in the city centre near the Opera House and meandered along the river and through the Shandon historic district where the paranormal came to life. A family friendly outing that was great value. I would highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Maureen M. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve seen happy faces on this tour for many moons now and finally got to be one of them. Damian and his crew aim to entertain and they do it with heaps of talent and heart, sharing stories about Cork you won’t hear anywhere else. Never the same tour twice, will go again!

  • 5/5 Ada Marie C. 2 years ago on Google

    Hilariously spooky with lots of twists, scares and surprises. This is a fun way to get a taste of Cork city's incredible history. Brilliant performances by guide and spook. Would highly recommend for locals and visitors. This tour takes you to well known places and off the beaten track. Great way to meet people and see the city.

  • 5/5 Oisín C. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my time at the ghost tour, I found it to be an educational and thrilling experience. It was well led and the performances of different characters were brilliant. I highly recommend this experience to people looking to learn more about Cork and who want to see street theatre!

  • 5/5 Oliver R. 2 years ago on Google
    Hilarious historical horror! Your engaging guides will take you on a delightfully spooky, story-filled wander around Cork. Top-notch craic and a unique way to experience the city. A great time was had by us and our friends visiting for the weekend. Easy 5* recommendation.
