New to Cork? This relaxed small-group bike tour is an easy way to get your bearings and see more of the city in a short time.

Over 2.5 hours, you will explore Cork with a local guide on a standard bike. The route takes you along riverside paths, through parks and quiet streets, and past some of the city’s best-known landmarks.

Along the way, you will see places such as Shandon, Elizabeth Fort, the River Lee, the Shakey Bridge, UCC and St Fin Barre’s Cathedral. You will also discover colourful streets, local stories, street art and hidden corners that many visitors miss.

Your guide will share simple, engaging stories about Cork’s history, culture and everyday life. You will hear about the city’s Viking roots, its trading past, its rebel spirit and its strong food and music scene.

There will be time to stop for photos, ask questions and enjoy the city at a relaxed pace. You will also get local tips on where to eat, drink, listen to traditional music and spend the rest of your time in Cork.
