This particular tour is aimed for the eyes and ears of kids [7ish to 12ish years old] to experience different times in Cork's history and what people their age did then.

There's games, treats and stories to help give context.

You will be greeted with a warmth and ease that feels like you’ve bumped into a knowledgeable friend on the street who happens to be walking the same direction as you.
