If you come to Cork and you don't hang with Maurice you have missed the best part of this city! Maurice is the most fun that you can have in Ireland. He is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We learned more (and laughed more) than I could have ever expected on our day trip to Blarney Castle. As another patron expressed, by the end of the day you will feel like old friends and I leave Ireland with a warm feeling in my heart. I can't wait to return! Booking a private tour with "Mossy" will be the best money you spend on your trip hands down.
